THOUGH, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE
HOSPITAL, YOU FORGET, YOU DON'T
THINK ABOUT IT, OF COURSE,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
MOVEMENT, LIKE LITERALLY, I
COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
FROM MY WIFE IN THE NURSE,
EVERYBODY LITERALLY HAD TO

HOSPITAL MNINE DAYS, I WAS LAYIG
IN THE BED, AND ONE DAY I JUST
GOT HAPPY.
OH, OH!

YOU'RE NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT
IT.
WHEN IT HAPPENS, I CALLED MY
WIFE, HEY!

HE'S LIKE, JUST STEER IT.
I AM.
WELL, YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING,

I'VE DRANK, I'VE TRIED TO DO THE
YOUNGER VERSION OF MYSELF HAS

GONE OVER WELL, LIKE I CAN'T
HANDLE IT.
SO FOR MY 40th, I'M GIVING
MYSELF HONESTY.

>> Jimmy: THAT WAS THE PLAN.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND I LOOK ON
INSTAGRAM, AND THIS IS WHAT I

IT SEEMED LIKE KIND OF A BIG
PARTY.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
>> Jimmy: OKAY, WHAT HAPPENED?
>> I WAS HELL BENT ON DOING
NOTHING.
I WAS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THAT.
>> Jimmy: OKAY, YOU WEREN'T JUST
SAYING THAT TO ME SO YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TO INVITE SHE IN.
>> NO, NO.
>> Jimmy: I THOUGHT IT WAS A
RUSE OR SOMETHING.
>> NO, I DIDN'T WANT TO DO
NOTHING.
I DID NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING
FOR MY BIRTHDAY, AND AS YOU GET
CLOSER TO THE DAY, ALL YOUR
FRIENDS AND EVERYBODY STARTS
TALKING, MAN, THIS IS YOUR 40th,
YOU CAN'T JUST NOT DO NOTHING.
MY WIFE STARTS TALKING, BABE, WE
GOT TO DO SK.
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING BIG.
IT'S YOUR 40th SO MANY MORE
PEOPLE BECAME PART OF THE
CONVERSATION.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SMALL
LITTLE DINNER IN THE LOUNGE.
THEN IT TURNED INTO THIS BIG
EVENT.
WE ENDED UP RENTING OUT, IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A DINNER AT TAO
THAT PROGRESSED TO RENTING OUT
TAO FOR THE NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: THE WHOLE PLACE.
>> WE RENTED OUT TAO FOR THE
DAY.
APPARENTLY, YOU CAN'T JUST GET
IT FOR THE NIGHT, BECAUSE YOU
GOT TO TAKE THE WHOLE BUSINESS
FROM THE DAY OUT.
THAT WAS A BILL, ALL RIGHT.
SO WE HAD TO HAVE IT FOR THE
DAY.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I GOT TO
TALKING TO ONE OF MY CLOSEST
FRIENDS, BONNIE WALKER, SHE DOES
SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH EVENTS FOR
ME, SHE WAS LIKE, WELL, WE CAN'T
JUST LET IT LOOK LIKE TAO.
WE GOT TO CHANGE IT TO WHERE IT
LOOKS LIKE YOU.
THIS IS YOUR DAY.
SO WE ENDED UP REDESIGNING TAO.
THAT WAS A TASK, THAT WAS A
TASK.
YOU KNOW, THEN SHE CONVINCED ME,
SHE WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, KEVIN,
IT WOULD BE COOL IF WE PUT YOUR
FACE ON THE LITTLE STATUES.
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS
SOMETHING, YOU DOESDON'T THINK
SERIOUS, YEAH, THAT AEB'D BE CO.
THEN SHE BRINGS KME THIS INVOIC.
THERE'S A DIGITAL BOARD PLAYING
MY YEARS OF LIFE.
ALL OF MY FRIENDS ENDED UP
COMING, AND THEN I GOT DRUNK,
MAN.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH, YOU DID.
>> AND EXACTLY WHAT I KNEW WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN HAPPENED.
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
>> IT WAS BAD.
>> Jimmy: IT WAS BAD.
HOW LATE DID YOU GO?
HOW LONG DID YOU LAST?
>> HERE'S THE BAD PART.
I SPENT ALL THAT MONEY.
THE PARTY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON
TILL 3:00 A.M.
I LEFT MY PARTY AT 12:15.
THIS IS NOT BS.
12:15 I WAS STANDING UP, AND IT
FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS PUSHING
ME.
I TOLD MY WIFE, SOMEBODY KEEP
PUSHING ME.
SHE'S LIKE, YOU'RE STANDING BY
YOURSELF.
I SAID SOMEBODY'S BEEN MESSING
WITH MY SHOES, BECAUSE I'M
ROLLIN', I'M ROCKIN'.
AND SHE SAID AIN'T NOBODY DOING
NOTHING TO YOUR SHOE.
AND I WAS LIKE, HONEY, HONEY,
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE NO TYPE OF
STABILITY.
WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
SHE'S LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE
GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE?
STOP TALKING BACK TO ME AND JUST
GET ME OUT OF HERE.
I HAD A FULL-FLEDGED PANIC
ATTACK.
YOU KNOW THE STEPS IN TAO ARE SO
STEEP, AND I KEPT SEEING MYSELF
FALLING DOWN THESE STEPS ON MY
BIRTHDAY AND EVERYBODY GOING,
KEVIN, AND ME HAVING ONE OF
THOSE STUPID FACES, SO WE LEFT.
WE LEFT.
SHE GOT MAD, BUT APPARENTLY, SHE
WAS A LITTLE DRUNK TOO.
BECAUSE WE BOTH ENDED UP
THROWING UP IN THE BACK OF THE
CAR.
>> Jimmy: OH, WHAT A GREAT WAY
TO END THE EVENING.
>> WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE THREW
UP UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I
WAS LIKE, HEY, BABE, WHERE'S MY
JACKET.
I DON'T KNOW, CHECK THE CAR,
WELL, I FOUND A LOT MORE THAN MY
JACKET WHEN I WENT TO THE CAR.
THAT WAS REAL.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE,
GOD, WHAT DID WE DO WHEN WE CAME
HOME?
SO WE LOOK AT THE SECURITY
CAMERAS.
IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH AFTER A
LONG NIGHT, LOOK AT THE SECURITY
CAMERAS SO YOU CAN WATCH
YOURSELF IN ACTION.
APPARENTLY, APPARENTLY, WE
WALKED THE DOGS.
NOT, NOT OUTSIDE, NOT OUTSIDE.
WE PUT THE LEASHES ON THEM AND
JUST START WALKING AROUND THE
HOUSE.
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
>> AND THERE'S, THERE'S A
MOMENT, THERE'S A MOMENT WHERE I
TOOK THE LEASH OFF THE DOG, AND
I'M LIKE, GO, AS IF IT'S A PARK,
RIGHT?
GO RUN AROUND.
AND I JUST ENDED UP SLEEPING ON
THE COUCH.
>> Jimmy: NO WAY.
>> IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST WORST
NIGHTS OF MY LIFE.
>> Jimmy: WELCOME TO 40.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>>> DID YOU, WERE YOU JUST
TALKING TO THEM?
UM, PRESS YOUR MENU, IT'S RIGHT
HERE.
LINGUISTICS.
YOU CAN TALK TO ANIMALS.
>> YES.
IT APPEARS THAT I SPEAK CAMEL.
>> CAN YOU ASK THEM TO LIKE COME
WITH US AND BE --
>> EXCUSE ME.
THEY'RE WILLING TO TALK.
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN IT
FOR THEM AND HOW MUCH LUGGAGE WE
HAVE.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS KEVIN HART IN
"JUMANJI THE NEXT LEVEL."
IT OPENS IN THEATERS ON FRIDAY.
WE WERE TALKING WITH YOUR BUDDY
DWAYNE JOHNSON.
YOU GOT AN HONOR GIVEN TO VERY
FEW STARS, YOU HAD YOUR HANDS
AND FEET IMPRESSED IN THE CEMENT
AT THE CHINESE THEATER.
>> YEP.
>> Jimmy: NOW DWAYNE SAID YOU W
NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO MAKE A DENT
IN THE --
>> THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
>> Jimmy: THAT IS NOT TRUE.
THAT'S A FALSEHOOD?
>> THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
I WAS MORE THAN HEAVY ENOUGH
MANY THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I
GAVE A GOOD ENOUGH PUSH, THEY
SAID KEVIN, WE DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S GOING TO STICK.
CAN YOU DO IT A LITTLE HARDER,
AND DJ MAY HAVE HAD TO GIVE ME A
LITTLE BIT OF SHOVE.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> JUST A LITTLE, AN ADDED
SHOVE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN, IT WAS
AN AMAZING DAY.
LE YOU CAN'T WRITE THAT.
YOU DON'T PREDICT THAT.
>> Jimmy: DWAYNE AND WILL
FERRELL SPOKE.
AND WHO DID THE BETTER JOB?
WHO PUT MORE INTO IT?
?
O
>> OH, MY GOD, WILL, YES, WILL
FERRELL.
DWAYNE SUCKED, SUCKED!
YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN, THEY'RE
BOTH, NOT ONLY GOOD FRIENDS BUT
MEN I TRULY RESPECT AND ADMIRE.
THOSE GUYS INSPIRE ME ON SO MANY
DIFFERENT LEVELS, AND TO HAVE
THE PLEASURE OF CALLING THOSE
GUYS MY FRIENDS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU KNOW.
THEY'RE NOT JUST CO-WORKERS.
OR ACQUAINTANCES.
THOSE GUYS ARE FRIENDS.
SO FOR THEM TO COME OUT, SPEAK
ON MY BEHALF YESTERDAY, IT
REALLY, IT REALLY MADE IT EVEN
MORE MIND BLOWING.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT, SURE.
YEAH.
>> MORE MIND-BLOWING.
>> Jimmy: LAST MIGHT I ASKED
DWAYNE JOHNSON IF HE CONSIDERED
YOU TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND AND HE
SAID NO.
HE SAID YOU'RE ONE OF HIS BEST
FRIENDS BUT YOU'RE NOT HIS BEST
FRIEND.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER HIM TO BE
YOUR BEST FRIEND?
>> WELL, I DID UNTIL YOU JUST
SAID THAT.
I THOUGHT THAT, I THOUGHT THAT
WE HAD A, I THOUGHT WE HAD A
NICE THING GOING.
AND APPARENTLY, I'M WRONG.
APPARENTLY, I'VE BEEN READING
THIS THING WRONG.
NO, MAN, THAT'S MY BIG FELLA.
I HAVE I GOT TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU.
OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS
SKYROCKETED.
AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THE AMOUNT
OF FUN THAT HE AND I HAVE.
>> Jimmy: IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS
HAVE FUN TOGETHER.
>> IT'S NOT FORCED.
IT'S NOT FORCED FUN.
IT'S AUTHENTIC CONVERSATION.
IT'S JUST GUYS THAT UNDERSTAND
THAT BEING THEMSELVES ARE WHAT
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN
THAT IT'S OKAY TO BE.
IT'S OKAY TO BE YOURSELF.
AND WHEN YOU ARE, YOU FIND THAT
PEOPLE GRAVITATE TOWARDS THAT
AND THAT ENERGY THAT YOU GIVE
OFF IS RECEIVED, AND WHEN IT'S
RECEIVED, IT'S RETURNED.
AND HE AND I GOT A NICE YING AND
YANG THING GOING, AND THE
ENVIRONMENTS THAT WE'RE IN,
THEY'RE SO AMAZING, BECAUSE
EVERYBODY ELSE FEEDS OFF OF IT.
LIKE OUR LAST PROMO TOUR, IT
WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS ONE
OF THE BEST PROMO TOURS I'VE
EVER DONE IN MY LIFE.
IT WAS JUST FUN.
EVERYBODY'S JUST GIVING EACH
OTHER A BUNCH OF [ BLEEP ] BACK
AND FORTH.
I'M SORRY.
>> Jimmy: GUILLERMO AND I HAVE
THE SAME THING, I SEE GUILLERMO
NODDING OVER THERE.
>> YEAH, WE'RE BEST FRIENDS.
>> BEST FRIENDS? THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
>> Jimmy: ONE OF, ONE OF,
GUILLERMO.
I GUESS I'M THE ROCK IN THIS
RELATIONSHIP, HUH?

COMPLIMENT.
