(cheering, applause)
Welcome back.
Tonight's guest is the creator of the popular YouTube series
My Drunk Kitchen
and one of the stars of the new comedy
I'm, like, 70% sure that's not how you spell "party" or "time."
Hey, I just thought, like, "Hey, who wants to wear a shirt
that's spelled correctly," you know?
We live in the digital age.
Spelling is, like... subjective.
You know?
Okay, I did these last night
after a guidance counselor show, I was super drunk...
Dude, can't keep messing up like this.
I mean, remember last week,
with the All Saints' softball shirts you ruined?
I changed my band name to the All Taints.
-We sold out. -I know, it's an awesome shirt.
Please welcome Hannah Hart.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering, applause)
Wow, so cool, so cool.
-Welcome to the show. -Thank you for having me, Trevor.
Thank you for be... You know what, I-I think this is, uh,
this is the wrong thing. I'm sorry, they made a mistake.
They put cups of, uh... This is-this is
-your drink of choice, is it not? -Oh!
-This is your... Yeah? Yeah? -Yeah, it is!
-(cheering, applause) -There you go.
-There you go. -Cheers, guys.
Yeah, yeah. This is, uh, this is fun for you.
Look at that-- straight into it.
I mean, we did cheers-- you know, it's bad luck
-not take a sip. -Oh, you have to sip immediately
-after you... -Yeah, you have to sip. And-and eye contact.
Eye contact. There's a lot of rules for, like, drunk things.
It's true. It keeps everybody safe.
Mmm. Ah.
And then you cook afterwards?
Yeah. Um, that's usually...
that's usually the best thing that can happen afterwards.
-Wow, that's real alcohol. -Yeah.
I thought they'd put, like, iced tea or something.
-No, man, you know? -That's, uh, that's legit.
-Welcome to the show. Thank you for being here. -Yeah.
Uh, I love your show. It's fun, it's exciting.
You're in a kitchen and you're drunk.
Not the safest thing to do.
No, no, no. It's-it's really not.
And I actually, um, I don't really necessarily
say that everybody should get drunk and cook.
-Yes. -Um, but I do think that when you do--
as I do it-- you have a really great time.
You do, and you, uh, and you dispense life advice as well.
Yeah, that just seems to be, like, a habit
that I can't break, personally, you know?
I find that, like, in every conversation I have
I end up, you know, kind of going deep.
Like, with every Uber driver I have.
Once, uh, we actually prayed together
at the end of an Uber ride.
-Are you being serious? -Yeah.
He was like, "Give me your hand." And I was like, "Okay."
And then we talked about, like, the spirit and, like,
not gonna lie-- like, I shed a tear.
Was-was... was the Uber driver still charging you
when that happened? Or was that, like...
'Cause if I was the Uber driver, I'd be like,
"Yeah, we can pray," and if the ride hasn't ended,
"Let's pray, let's pray."
Did you check if the ride had ended?
-I was so moved by the spirit, I didn't. -You see? You see?
Ah, man, you and I see the world
through two different lenses.
Well, we can pray about it. We can pray about it.
Um, you're doing so much more than just YouTube right now.
I mean, you're one of the YouTube stars
who's been lucky enough to break out
into many different worlds. You've written two books.
This is your second book right now, uh,
-Mm-hmm. -Great title, by the way.
-Yes. -Thank you. It's, uh... I picked it. It's intentional.
-(laughter) -Well, I... I would hope so.
It'd be weird if that's just, like...
But-but... but what's special about this book is, like,
your first book was really an homage to the
-Mm-hmm. -But this... this is a book about your life.
This is... this is literacy now.
Yeah. Um, yeah, it's
of a Life Fully Loaded.
So it's got, like, a little
-Uh-huh. -Um, it's really just about the, uh,
the time I've spent processing the events of my life,
um, that I haven't really wanted to share online.
-Yeah. -Or, rather, a four-to-six-minute video format
isn't really appropriate for it.
I studied literature in college--
being an author was always my dream--
and so I feel really fortunate
to be able to share my life experiences in this way.
You know, I-I... I say that when I wrote it,
I wrote it to feel, like, the things that have gone on
in my life-- I wrote it to talk about them
in a way that made me feel less alone.
And I hope that, for people that read it,
they feel that way, too.
When you...
started out on YouTube, I mean, this was a video
that you were creating for a friend,
it was a little joke, it was...
and then it blows up into something,
did you ever think that making those videos on YouTube
would get you to the place where you're doing--
you know, as you say, literature is something that you studied--
did you ever think YouTube would be the thing
that brings you back to everything?
You know, I don't think I ever thought that,
but I do think that, like... I do think
that by what I studied, it kind of helped me get
-a sense of, like, narrative. -Yeah.
Which is why I think, um, making videos was so fun.
Because it was, like, telling mini stories
within every video.
Um... and when I started
uh, back in 2011, YouTube and the subculture of new media
was totally unknown to me.
I only knew it because people in the comment section
were writing, "This is my new favorite show on YouTube."
Oh, that's back when people were writing
-in the comment section. -Oh... -(laughter)
-Wow, you an O.G. You, like-- wow! -Yes.
-Yeah, so... -You remember
I do. Yeah, I do. I actually am pretty fortunate.
My comment sections are mostly nice.
Except once, somebody said, um...
Uh, it looks like-like Tina Fey and a gerbil had sex,
or something like that.
-What looked like that? -Uh, me. I'm the "it."
(laughing)
Yeah, that one stuck with me
just for the creativity alone.
I'm trying to picture it; I can't, I can't see it.
You didn't see me back in 2011.
Things have changed.
Were you more Tina Fey or more gerbil back then?
I was more a combination of the two.
(Noah laughing)
Um, you, y-you're not just, uh, writing a book.
You're not just on YouTube.
Uh, you've got the movie we saw the-the clip from,
uh, I guess, inspired partly by your life,
because you are a young woman turning 30.
Yeah. I am.
I'm 29, about to turn 30, November 2,
-for those of you... -(cheering)
...interested in making it a national holiday
-as I feel it should be. -(Noah laughing)
But, uh, no--
by (clears throat), my friend Mamrie,
and it was based off her experience, uh,
when she turned 30.
Not her experience directly,
but rather, uh, what she observed around her.
You know, she has always lived life, like, full throttle,
and was ready to go,
and not really bothered by aging,
but the people in her friend group that she saw
were also turning 30,
felt really stressed out by it, you know?
Like, they weren't at the point in their life
-that they thought they would be at that moment. -Yeah.
Um, so
um, who is about to turn 30.
And her two best friends throw her
a-a house party gone terribly right.
-Huh? -(laughing)
Instead of wrong.
Oh. As, uh...
Uh, I see, I see what you did.
You know what's funny is,
I love puns almost as much as you do,
but then I have to act like I don't like the puns.
No. 'Cause my writers judge me here.
-And then they're like... -(laughing)
-I love puns with all my heart. -Really?
I don't think you understand.
I love them so much.
-I could do just like a show of puns. -Really?
-I don't think you understand. -(laughing)
You just, like, made my night.
Thank you so much.
-I'm so... -You set me free.
-Thank you, Hannah. -(cheering)
Thank you so much.
