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