Daddy-to-be, John Legend, paid a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Monday night for an interview and special performance.

The R&B crooner sat down with Jimmy to talk about the new WGN series Underground, which is a story about a group of slaves who escape from a Georgia plantation and cross 600 miles to freedom, aided along the way by a secret abolitionist couple running a station on the Underground Railroad.

Legend, with his Get Lifted partners Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius executive produce, and oversaw the score, soundtrack and all music aspects of the series.
