Hello. 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
