-I want to hear
the pizza-oven story, if you know
what I'm talking about. -Oh, my God.
With Jerry Seinfeld. -Yes, Jerry Seinfeld,
and somehow -- well, explain this.
-I'll tell you the story. So, Jerry Seinfeld,
a good friend of mine, man. -Love him. -Jerry Seinfeld,
I go to his house, and Jerry Seinfeld
has a pizza oven. And I see the pizza oven,
and I'm like, "What's that?" He's like, "Oh, my God,
it's a brick pizza oven." He's like, "You never had
brick-oven pizza?" And I'm like, "No, I didn't even
know that was a thing." He's like, [As Seinfeld]
"Oh, my God, you got to get
brick-oven pizza." [ Laughter ]
[ Normal voice ] He's like -- -That's your Jerry impression?
-Yeah, it's my Jerry impression. He's like, [As Seinfeld]
"you haven't lived until you had brick-oven pizza."
[ Laughter ] -That doesn't sound
like Jerry Seinfeld. -[ Normal voice ] That's
spot-on Jerry Seinfeld. -Sounds like Nipsey Russell.
-No, no, no. [ Laughter ]
If you were to close your eyes, you would think that you
was talking to Jerry. [ As Seinfeld ] "You haven't
lived until you had brick-oven pizza."
[ Laughter ] -Like Bob Dylan now.
Okay, oh, yeah. [ As Dylan ] "You haven't lived
until you had the pizza." -[ Normal voice ]
So, he tells me, he's like, "Oh, my God, people love it.
They come over, man. They love brick-oven pizza.
You gotta get brick-oven pizza." [ Normal voice ]
So, I leave his house and I go home to my wife
and I'm like, "Yo, we gotta get a brick --
a brick oven -- like, a brick pizza oven.
We gotta do it. Jerry said it's like a thing.
People love it. It's good 'cause we entertain."
So I go spend all this money and I go get a brick pizza oven
built in my backyard. And I'm hyped.
I'm excited about it. And it's done,
and I invite people over. And no black people
like brick-oven pizza, man. [ Sad tuba ] It's the biggest --
[ Laughter ] It is the biggest fail
in the black community. Listen, like, when I say
they picked this oven apart -- I was like, "Dude, it's
a brick pizza oven, man. You put the pizza in there,
it, like, cooks it fast." And they was like,
"How you clean it? How do I know that pizza clean?"
And I was like, "I don't know." I was like,
"Because of the fire. You know it's clean
because of fire." They're like,
"I ain't eating that mess." They was like,
"It's bugs in there!" And I looked in there.
It was bugs in there. [ Laughter ]
It was like -- -What a fail.
-Nobody would touch the oven. Nobody, so I've been
forcing my kids to eat it, just so I feel like I don't -- so I feel like
I haven't wasted my money. But it's all because I tried
to do what Seinfeld suggested. And it just is not the same.
I didn't get the same response. -[ As Seinfeld ] "You should get
your own pizza oven! You've got the wrong friends,
then! People love brick-oven pizza!"
[ Cheers and applause ] "People love brick-oven pizza."
-What is the difference in your impression
and my impression? -[ Normal voice ] You don't hear
the different at all? -No, it sounds exactly the same. [ As Seinfeld ] "What
are you talking about? [ Laughter ]
People love brick-oven pizza." -Oh, my gosh.
-"People love brick-oven pizza. What's in a pizza?"
[ Laughter ] -Let's talk about "Night
School." I have to talk about this movie. You, Tiffany Haddish --
comedy dream team. -[ Normal voice ] Yes.
-You get together. -What is the movie about? -The movie is about
second chances. First of all, this is
the first movie that was done underneath
my production company, Hartbeat Productions. This is me partnering up
with the studio, no longer just being
a work-for-hire. Becoming a partner,
becoming a business. So this is the first one
underneath my company umbrella. And we developed it
from the ground up. Written, produced.
It's our baby. So, I play a character that went
through life as a con artist, gift of gab, never really had to
try or apply myself. And my world falls
from underneath me, and I'm put in a situation where I have to go back,
get my diploma so I can go and actually do
what I want to do in life. And in doing that,
I meet a group of misfits where we have to band together and figure out the best way
to get our diploma. And our teacher is
Tiffany Haddish, who is a very tough teacher. And we figure that it's not
gonna be an easy road, it's a tough road.
But we create a funny road along the way.
It's a good movie. Great content, great substance,
great characters, and more importantly, something
that people can relate to. It's grounded. And that's where the world of
Hartbeat Productions is, and that's where it's gonna
continue to grow from, where people can identify
and say, "Wow, I've been in that situation,
or I know somebody that has." This is content that I would
forever want to see and I can forever relate to.
-And it's funny. -That's what this is.
And it's funny. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Good for you.
