Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. I got a good one for you today. One of the funniest people currently striding the earth. His name is Kevin Hart. Now, Kevin and I have gotten together previously for a big Sunday sit-down conversation.

A couple years ago, it was at Madison Square Garden. It was so cool. We were kind of sitting

up in the rafters looking down before one of his stand-up shows at the garden.

You might hear a reference in the interview. He was wearing, it was midsummer, and he was

wearing holiday plaid pants. They were red, they were green, they were white. And he explained to me that this is where he was with his success, that he could

wear a pair of holiday pants in the middle of the summer. That was the level of confidence

he was feeling in that moment and continues to feel today. He's got a new movie out, really good

called Fatherhood on Netflix, a turn toward the dramatic. It's still funny. He's got a new movie out, really good called Fatherhood on Netflix,

a turn toward the dramatic. It's still funny. It's still Kevin Hart. But at the heart of the

story is a very moving, true story about a man who lost his wife and raised his daughter

on his own with the help of his in-laws and his own parents. So it's interesting to see Kevin talk about a little bit of a turn maybe for him from all the things he's doing. Not that he's going to stop doing stand-up or stop being funny, but he wants to kind of broaden out a little bit. He's also got a book out for young readers. I mean, he's got so much going on. It's hard to capture it in an introduction. But you know, Kevin Hart, I don't need to introduce him any further. I will tell you this. We did this over Zoom. I am sitting in my garage, the room over the garage, which you've come to know and love. He is in Budapest, Hungary, shooting a movie at this very moment. So he's in a hotel room. So it's a little bit

quicker conversation than we usually have. But man, he was so nice to carve out a minute. He was

literally like running off movie sets sitting down to chat with us and talk about everything he's

got going on. So I'm grateful for his time. Always fun to sit down and catch up with Kevin Hart

right now on the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

Kevin, good to see you, man. Thanks for doing this. Good to see you too, man. So you've been very

busy during this pandemic, including right now, I believe you're in Budapest. Is that right?

Yes, that is absolutely correct. I am currently in Budapest filming a movie called Borderlands.

And you've got, I think I've got this right. You got a movie out right now about to come out. You got a book out.

Yes. Podcasts, big comedy special. Yes. Audio book. Yes. Hosting big telethons.

Yes.

There's a lot going on.
