Kevin Hart and Seth Meyers clearly know how to party hard… maybe a little too hard.
During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the actor-comedian recalled his experience filming the show’s “Day Drinking” segment with the host last year, confessing that he “almost died” during it.
“I came into that day with such an idea of who I thought I was,” Hart explained. “I was like, ‘This gonna be crazy. I’m gonna drink with Seth, show him what I do because I know I drink like I used to’ — and I almost died. There was really a chance where it was over.”
“And then you called me the next morning and yelled at me like I had tried to kill you,” Meyers added.
The Lil Kev star-exec producer admitted they both only remember “bits and pieces” from that filming day, which included a drinking game that Meyers said was inspired by a Jumanji gameboard.
“I remember being on the floor, laying on your chest and not knowing how I got there,” Hart recounted. “And then I remember being in a car and for some reason, all the cheese on the pizza slid off and it was on my stomach. I just remember holding the pizza, saying, ‘Why would y’all pay for this? Why would you buy me just the idea of pizza with no cheese?’ And it was all on my chest.”
While Meyers agreed that he has “no memory” of the game, he said members of his staff told him that he “rolled the dice and you [Hart] tackled me and that was the end of the game.” A laughing Hart added, “They also told me that when Seth rolled the dice, they said full speed I came and kicked the dice and said, ‘Fucking shit.’ For no reason, by the way. There’s no reason for the anger. And then I just tackled him, and then after immediately tackling them, gave him a hug and just laid on him.”
The Ride Along actor noted that the whole ordeal was “definitely a moment of truth.” Meyers agreed, adding, “I feel way more connected to you after that even though I have truly no memory of it. We’re kin.”
