  • Hello, hello, hello.

  • [CHEERING]

  • Oh, stop.

  • Stop.

  • [CHEERING]

  • Kevin.

  • Listen.

  • [CHEERING]

  • It's amazing, man.

  • It's amazing.

  • Let's go.

  • Wow.

  • That's good, man.

  • Yeah, I know-- it's pretty good.

  • Please. - Thank you.

  • Guys.

  • Thank you, guys.

  • [CAT CALLING]

  • So dope.

  • It's nice, but you're scaring Kevin, OK?

  • Oh my god, there are people getting woozy in the front row.

  • No, that's amazing, man.

  • Honestly, there literally is no me without the support

  • that I get from you guys.

  • So that means the world to me.

  • That's right.

  • So much-- thank you, man.

  • How are you?

  • I'm doing well.

  • And I want to thank you for coming because I know

  • you're in the middle of not just a tour but a world tour

  • right now. - Yes, sir.

  • Yes, sir.

  • I'm so interested in how many countries

  • besides the United States are you visiting on this tour?

  • - Every one. - Every one?

  • Name one-- yes.

  • Name one.

  • You're in every sport on the globe.

  • If people can laugh, I'm going.

  • That's my rule.

  • Dude, I'm just so focused on reaching

  • new levels of personal success.

  • I think laughter is the one thing that we all share.

  • I've been saying it for so long.

  • Regardless of where you are, who you are-- we all laugh.

  • What if you don't speak English?

  • What if the people don't speak English?

  • How do you handle that?

  • What I found out what happens is

  • I go to these other countries.

  • And the people that do speak English come,

  • but the people that don't speak English know what's going on.

  • And they know me, and they look at the other people.

  • And while they laugh, they just laugh and look at me.

  • And I'm like, it must be good.

  • It must be good.

  • That's when you know you're funny--

  • when the people don't even know what you're saying

  • and they're laughing.

  • But it's weird because you can get the eye contact.

  • I've literally made eye contact with a man that had no idea

  • what I was talking about.

  • I was a Singapore, and I'm telling a joke.

  • And he was like--

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I was like, yo, he going to throw me off

  • because when I say the punch line,

  • I gave like the hardest delivery of the punch line.

  • The crowd was like, ha.

  • And he looked at the other person.

  • He's like--

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I was like, all right.

  • All right, buddy.

  • If you like it, I love it.

  • If you like it, I love it.

  • Yeah, because musicians will come through,

  • and oftentimes they're amazed that people

  • in countries like Singapore know the lyrics to their song.

  • But to be a comedian and have that--

  • It's unheard of.

  • It really is unheard of.

  • I'm going to tell you what shocked me.

  • And this is literally what blows me away.

  • When you look at these entertainers that tour, OK?

  • You look at Beyonce, who sits at the top.

  • You look at Bruno Mars.

  • You look at Taylor Swift, Timberlake, the Rolling Stones.

  • And then it's weird in that list you see "Kevin Hart,"

  • and the tours are like the biggest tours--

  • like the top five biggest tours ever.

  • Right now, I'm at a million--

  • [CHEERING]

  • Thank you.

  • I am currently at 1 million tickets sold,

  • and I still have five months of touring left to do.

  • JIMMY KIMMEL: A million?

  • Yes, a million tickets.

  • It's insane.

  • It's insane.

  • But that's why I-- - You should have nicer clothes.

  • Wait, what? This is--

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • He's a guy that sold a million tickets,

  • and there's holes all over his jacket.

  • Moths are in your closet.

  • Well, now that you say it, I should have thought about it.

  • Listen, the real reality behind it

  • though is people wonder why I work so hard.

  • People wonder why I go so hard-- - I wonder-- yeah.

  • --with the production and everything

  • that goes into my shows.

  • Well, when you start to look at these numbers,

  • I say you know what?

  • People are coming out in high volume.

  • It's my job to provide laughter at the highest level.

  • So my production is the production

  • of a rock and roll concert.

  • That's where the term "comedic rockstar" came from.

  • You're putting the money back into the show

  • is what your saying.

  • If I told you the money I spent a week on production,

  • you would go what?

  • I have nine production trucks.

  • I have a staff of 77.

  • That seems like too many.

  • Because ultimately, it's you with a microphone being funny.

  • That is true.

  • How many guys are carrying that microphone, Kevin?

  • Well, the microphone that I'm carrying is made out of ivory.

  • I see.

  • With gypsum.

  • Vibranium or something, right?

  • It's a special microphone that you can't find nowhere else.

  • We went to anaconda to get it actually.

  • It's a very, very special microphone.

  • Hi, I'm Jimmy Kimmel.

  • An evil wizard has trapped me inside this YouTube video.
