Here's an excerpt:

Carey: Um, I was raised in a Pentecostal church.
Tavis: So was I.
Carey: Yeah. Actually, I wasn't. I was raised Protestant, and I went to Pentecostal church when I was 13. I got saved when I was 13, and you know the feeling when you're at the altar call, and you're filled with the Holy Spirit and you feel like you're floating?
Tavis: I've been there.
Carey: That's what it felt like.
Tavis: Right.
Carey: That's exactly what it felt like. And it's hard to explain to people who haven't had that kind of experience, but it's all pure emotion. Like if you've ever seen or been with somebody at a Pentecostal church when they have the altar call. And it's just a church, not a TV show. I'm talking about just the church where it's just you and the believers in the church, and you can really let go and give it all up, and you just get filled with this energy. There is like a spirit and an energy floating around, and, uh, you know, the Pentecostals call it the Holy Spirit. You can call it whatever you want, but there's something there, and you do go through like a psychological joy that just overflows you and kind of takes you over, and that's what I felt like when I was on “The Tonight Show.” When I walked out and I did my set, and I was very aware that I've never been more in a moment or alive or present and all those things that people look for than I was right then.

Oh, yeah---sorry, I thought it was on Letterman. Thanks for clarifying that.
