08:04 Yes.
08:05 He's real.
08:05 The only real person I modeled myself after
08:12 was Eddie and a combination with Denzel.
08:16 When I looked at what Eddie was doing,
08:18 I was like, I want to do that.
08:21 So I was trying to be able to make people laugh and cheer
08:27 and clap in a movie theater the way Eddie did
08:31 with his comedic brilliance.
08:33 But I wanted to be able to shut it down
08:36 with just a look in my eyes the way
08:39 that Denzel could do in glory.

09:57 [LAUGHTER]
09:59 Now, you know what else I learned?
10:00 That you never can fully know somebody.
10:03 If you can stay open and keep your mind open,
10:09 you'll always discover something new about somebody,
10:13 even when you've known them.
10:14 Now we've known each other for more than half our lives.
10:17 And if you just stay open and not
10:20 let yourself slip into feeling like, oh, I know that dude,
10:24 you'll always find something new.
10:27 Hey, thank you all so much.
10:28 Thank you very much.
