00:00
I'm gonna get all these.
00:02
I'm a genius.
00:03
I got it.
00:04
Locked in.
00:05
S***.
00:06
F***.
00:07
F***.
00:08
F***.
00:09
F***.
00:10
F***.
00:11
F***.
00:12

00:13
F***.
00:14

00:15

00:16

00:17

00:19
F***.
00:20
F***.
00:21
F***.
00:22
Yo, I'm talking to you.
00:23
First one.
00:24
Here we go.
00:25
Oh, s***.
00:26
My stomach in my ass.
00:27
My stomach in my ass.
00:28
Right along.
00:30
This was a Will Packer and Q vision.
00:33
So it was dope to be a part of it.
00:35
Dope to be embraced.
00:36
Q was very gracious.
00:37
He's a guy that always wants the better for the project.
00:41
So the laughs that I was able to get in that movie, I mean, that was all based off of Q's
00:46
understanding of a duo and the rapport that we should have.
00:52
That good cop, bad cop energy.
00:54
Letting me go for it and understanding how to dance with me.
00:59
Q was dope.
01:00
A great friend of mine, extremely valuable and important to the business and important
01:04
to me.
01:05
All right.
01:06
The revolution has begun.
01:08
I can actually do it in Snowball's voice.
01:11
The revolution has begun.
01:12
Liberated forever.
01:13
Domesticated forever.
01:14
Domesticated never.
01:15
This is Snowball.
01:16
Secret Life of Pets.
01:17
Look at that.
01:18
I'm a genius.
01:19
The revolution has begun.
01:20
Liberated forever.
01:21
Domesticated never.
01:22
He's a black militant.
01:23
The revolution has begun.
01:24
Liberated forever.
01:25
Domesticated never.
01:26
He's a black militant white snow bunny.
01:30
So if you look at everything, it's like, yeah, and that's gonna be the plan.
01:33
He's good.
01:34
He's got a good heart.
01:35
And I think that's the dope thing about the discovery of the bunny at the end is finding
01:39
out like, oh, he's just hurt.
01:40
So the tough thing that you see on the surface is not true to what he is on the outside at
01:48
all.
01:49
Like it's pretty dope.
01:50
If you don't do any animation in hopes of just doing one, everybody's trying to get
01:54
to the big version of the animation.
01:57
I mean, goodness gracious, Minions, because it's all about the back end and those opportunities
02:02
all service level, but you get a company like Illumination that comes to the table with
02:08
a big idea and you're like, yeah, Secret Life of Pets was a big idea.
02:13
Illumination being behind it, huge.
02:16
It's not many of them that have gotten there.
02:18
It's not many of them that have achieved that crazy, crazy, crazy side of success and opportunity.
02:28
I need to be held.
02:29
I need you to rub my back, put me in my onesie.
02:33
I need to be held, I need you to rub my back, put me in my onesie.
02:37
Don't tell me, put me in my onesie.
02:42
I need to be held, need you to rub my back, put me in my onesie.
02:47
Is it Think Like a Man?
02:48
Yeah.
02:49
Think Like a Man.
02:50
Boy, look at that.
02:51
Huh?
02:52
Went in the tank.
02:53
See that?
02:54
I had to go in the tank.
02:55
That's how many movies it is up there.
02:56
I need to be held.
02:57
I need you to rub my back.
02:59
Put me in my onesie.
03:00
A lot of that stuff wasn't written.
03:02
A lot of it they let me kind of like play and discover and the cast was very generous
03:06
in letting me do what I did and them bouncing off.
03:10
It takes a village and we had a good one for Think Like a Man.
03:14
Very, very strong cast of people.
03:16
For the people watching that like, man, Kevin Hart has a lot of energy, he just goes and
03:26
goes.
03:27
Eventually the computer shuts off.
03:28
So right now we're approaching the end of the computer.
03:30
So this is why I drink coffee during these junkies, but I'm going to tell you why.
03:34
When you got me in spaces that are unbelievably quiet and warm, it's a recipe for disaster.
03:42
Zoology, bitch!
03:43
I'm sorry.
03:44
I scared you.
03:45
Jumanji.
03:46
Jumanji.
03:47
Great line, too.
03:48
Improv line.
03:49
Zoology, bitch!
03:50
To do a movie of that size and have the cast at the table that we had, you're very secure
04:04
in your partner.
04:05
You're very secure in the approach to the performances.
04:08
There is no worry.
04:09
There is no, oh my God, it's too much over the top.
04:13
We were all very much, very secure in knowing, oh, I can't wait to see what you do with this
04:18
character.
04:19
I can't wait to see what you do.
04:21
You do.
04:22
No, you do.
04:23
Like, everybody's idea on take was spot on.
04:27
It's pee.
04:28
It's pee.
04:29
Why do you think it's called piss wash?
04:32
This is actually a Star Wars.
04:35
This is Borderlands.
04:36
It's pee.
04:37
It's pee.
04:38
Why do you think it's called piss wash?
04:41
Fun scene, fun day.
04:43
You know, they were throwing buckets of like, water.
04:48
The hard part about the scene is like, you know, I can't feel the water coming.
04:52
So like, naturally, if somebody's throwing water at you and you know, you're like, you're
04:56
bracing for the impact of the water.
04:59
So I'm like, all right guys, so you don't see it.
05:01
You don't see it coming.
05:02
It's dry.
05:03
I messed up about three takes, like, before it got there.
05:06
That's why that scene is funnier than me.
05:10
Well, destiny awaits.
05:13
I love Kate.
05:14
She's so good, man.
05:17
She's just so good.
05:18
She not only embraced the idea of Lilith, and we saw her like, become Lilith while shooting
05:25
it.
05:26
Kate worked so hard to get the gun and the play of it down.
05:31
By the way, not real, didn't matter.
05:36
Kate worked so hard.
05:38
You gotta treat it like a, like you're sneaking up on it.
05:44
Grab it.
05:45
You gotta treat it like a, like you're sneaking up on it.
05:50
Grab it.
05:56
Rattledong 2?
05:57
Shit.
05:58
I don't know.
06:00
God damn it!
06:02
Shit!
06:07
Fuck!
06:10
That's one wrong.
06:11
You gotta treat it like a, like you're sneaking up on it.
06:15
Grab it.
06:16
I'm very much realistic in how I talk to my kids.
06:18
There are things where I was able to succeed, versus things that I wasn't.
06:21
And where I struggle, I can't expect you not to, because it's not as if I had this crazy
06:26
world of success in it.
06:28
I understand why.
06:29
I just want to see that you try.
06:30
So my biggest thing is like, making sure my kids understand the power of the concept of
06:35
trying.
06:37
I don't think my kids' private school respects my level of celebrity.
06:41
I don't think my kids' private school respect my level of celebrity.
06:44
Is this stand-up?
06:45
This is my stand-up.
06:46
Yes.
06:47
Stand-up comedy.
06:48
I was gonna say, this can't be a movie, but it would be my stand-up comedy that became
06:52
a movie.
06:53
Which special is this?
06:54
I don't think my kids...
06:58
Is this...
06:59
Irresponsible?
07:00
Oh shit!
07:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:02
Intimate.
07:03
Oh shit!
07:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:05
Intimate.
07:06
Intimate setting is where I was just like, conversation, being honest, zero fucks given.
07:09
Yeah.
07:10
Fuck!
07:11
Shit!
07:12
Goddamn!
07:13
Sorry.
07:14
I don't feel like my kids' private school respects my level of celebrity.
07:21
With the right amount of life lived, the approach to getting good jokes should be there.
07:26
It should be present.
07:27
Good story is attached to real moments, sometimes dark moments, where I'm able to find humor
07:34
as my therapy, and being comfortable with putting it out to the world because I'm gonna
07:38
find the laugh.
07:40
Sometimes my most hurt spaces, I'm able to find a laugh from, which is big.
07:46
Big idea.
07:47
Acting isn't even close.
07:48
Stand-up comedy.
07:49
Every day, all day.
07:50
How the hell do you wake up dead?
07:56
It's a good movie.
08:00
Me and Anthony Anderson.
08:01
This morning he woke up dead.
08:02
How the hell do you wake up dead?
08:04
All improv, by the way.
08:05
I did a table read, and I crushed the table read, and they said, we want to have him come
08:09
back, we think we got a good part for him.
08:12
I was like, okay, is it just this?
08:14
Because it was just like this little piece that I read.
08:16
They said, let's just see what you can do with it, we're gonna do another table read.
08:20
And I went and I just went for it.
08:22
And improv and stuff.
08:23
And they were like, we gotta have you.
08:26
That's how it happened.
08:27
Accident.
08:28
I was just supposed to be a body in the room, reading the lines, and see if they worked.
08:32
Anna, truly one of the best.
08:34
Regina Hall, those two right there, I mean, when it comes to jousting or having an amazing
08:40
rapport back and forth with your co-worker, your co-star, nobody does it better.
08:46
Rock, paper, scissors, who's the guest on top?
08:52
Uh, it's like, About Last Night?
08:57
Yeah, alright.
08:58
Me and Regina Hall.
08:59
Oh, and I just said Regina Hall before.
09:01
Look at that segue.
09:02
I got it.
09:03
Locked in.
09:04
It's like an almanac up here.
09:06
Rock, paper, scissors, who's the guest on top?
09:07
Regina would be my best.
09:08
She's my favorite.
09:09
She's just good.
09:11
She's just good.
09:13
She's the quickest and possibly the funniest.
09:17
Like, you're never stumping Regina.
09:19
And she can turn it off and go straight.
09:21
Or she can go in motion.
09:23
She's the best.
09:27
Alright, here we go.
09:29
Can I be the boss?
09:30
Let me be the boss.
09:31
Paper Soldiers.
09:32
First movie ever.
09:33
Look at that.
09:34
You see that right there?
09:35
And how I threw it with all that confidence.
09:37
Can I be the boss?
09:38
Paper Soldiers, man.
09:39
It's my first thing I've ever done.
09:40
I don't even think it was properly funded.
09:42
I think a lot of the stuff we gorilla shot.
09:45
But shout out to Dame Dash at the time who was very passionate about this.
09:48
Even though it was this crazy process to develop and do.
09:52
And it ended up becoming like a hood classic.
09:55
And you take Paper Soldiers away, I don't have my management.
09:58
I don't have the comedy club business that I have now.
10:01
Because I wouldn't have started it.
10:03
I just wouldn't have gotten the opportunities.
10:04
Paper Soldiers is a part of the real bandwidth of opportunities.
10:07
So, extremely thankful for that movie.
10:10
Catapulting me in a way that it did.
10:13
It's a big deal.
10:14
It's all an accident.
10:16
You don't know that comedy opens up the doors to acting.
10:19
So, you just want to get on stage.
10:21
And the more you get on stage, the more you're ready for whatever comes your way.
10:26
And before I knew it, somebody was like,
10:29
They want to talk to you.
10:30
Who?
10:31
Studio.
10:33
So I'm always going to go above and beyond to multitask however I can.
10:38
Because the star of stand-up comedy can't go down, can't go and disappear.
10:47
It has to be equal or aligned with the star of Kevin Hart, the movie, TV star, business, etc.
10:54
That and this have to always be here.
