Kevin Hart’s memory took a humorous hit during a recent appearance on Seth Meyers’ “Day Drinking,” where the comedian struggled to recall fellow actors he has worked with, leaving audiences both entertained and bewildered. The segment, aimed at promoting Hart’s new tequila brand, Gran Coramino, quickly turned into a comedic exploration of Hart’s extensive career and a display of his famously vibrant personality.
Kevin Hart’s Forgetful Antics
In a playful game set up by Meyers, Hart was asked to identify whether he had worked with various Hollywood stars. With over 100 projects to his name, one might expect Hart to have an easy time with the questions. However, his performance raised eyebrows and elicited laughter as he incorrectly guessed not only the names of actors but also forgot about his co-stars entirely.
The comedic highlight came as Hart confidently declared he had worked with Jennifer Aniston, referencing their time together on an ABC project, only to forget that they had actually co-starred in the 2004 film “Along Came Polly.” Similarly, he mistook Harrison Ford’s involvement in “The Secret Life of Pets,” a film he starred in, revealing a surprising lack of memory about an entire film franchise he was part of.

A Hilarious Game of Guessing
The segment escalated when Meyers showed Hart a picture of Denzel Washington. Hart, convinced they had worked together, hilariously stumbled over his own memory of collaborations, leading to a comedic exchange that had the audience in stitches. At one point, he jokingly suggested they had collaborated on ”The Equalizer,” a film in which he played no role at all, indicating the level of disarray in his recollection.
Hart’s forgetfulness prompted Meyers to humorously challenge his assertions and poke fun at the absurdity of the situation. What are you smoking?” Meyers quipped after Hart insisted that he had worked with Washington, drawing laughter from the audience and crew alike.
Spam Calls and Quick Hang-Ups
The playful spirit of the segment intensified when Hart decided to call J.K. Simmons to prove their collaboration on “Die Hart.” In an unexpected twist, Hart hung up almost immediately after Simmons answered, leading to another round of laughter as Meyers commented on how bizarre the situation was. “I mean, you would not do that to someone you hadn’t worked with,” he remarked, suggesting that Hart’s antics made for great television.
Hart’s insistence on their shared project sparked further comedic exchanges, where the two discussed the merits of their work. Despite his numerous wrong answers, Hart’s charisma and ability to keep the mood light maintained audience interest throughout.
The Impact of Alcohol on Memory
As the duo indulged in Meyers’ concoction, humorously dubbed “Kevin’s Gate,” a blend of Kool-Aid and hot sauce consumed from a sneaker, Hart’s memory seemed to blur even further. The drink added an element of chaos to the segment, enhancing the comedy of the moment as each sip appeared to worsen Hart’s already shaky recollections of his filmography.
The segment is a testament to the funny yet unpredictable nature of celebrity interviews, where the combination of drinks and lighthearted competition can quickly spiral into comedic gold.
A Lasting Impression of Fun
Ultimately, Hart’s appearance on “Day Drinking” underscores not only his comedic talent but also the unpredictable nature of on-screen interactions. His willingness to engage in self-deprecating humor while playfully engaging with Meyers made for a memorable segment that many fans are likely to talk about long after its airing. It is another reminder that even the most successful Hollywood figures can have moments of forgetfulness, particularly in a lighthearted and pressure-free environment.
As audiences continue to enjoy the antics of celebrities like Hart, the clips from the show offer both entertainment and a glimpse into the humor that characterize such memorable appearances.
