Kevin Hart Explains How a Goat 'Destroyed' Chris Rock's Shoes During a Surprise Set with Dave Chappelle

Kevin Hart‘s kind gesture towards Chris Rock didn’t go as planned.

During his recent show with Chris and Dave Chappelle at Madison Square Garden, the 43-year-old comedian brought out a real-life goat as a playful way to honor his friend.

“The idea came because I was like, ‘Chris, we should do some shows together. How about we just do New York and Jersey together?’ Chris was like, ‘Cool,’” Kevin told host Jimmy Fallon. “I was like, ‘Dude, if we do it, Chappelle‘s gonna come.’ Rock was like, ‘Yeah, he’ll come.’ I was like, ‘It’ll be like the biggest night in history if he comes.’”

Kevin then invited Dave to join in, sharing that he was planning on surprising Chris with a goat on stage.

“Chris is a mentor, friend, inspiration. He’s a large part of the reason that I am where I am today in my career,” Hart gushed. “Just from his advice, his insight, etc. He’s my GOAT, he’s my guy. And I wanted him to feel that.”

He managed to keep it a secret until the curtain call, noting that Chris “almost cried” over the surprise. But then, things went left.

“The goat took a s–t on stage,” Kevin deadpanned, laughing. “It was not planned either. That’s the one thing I didn’t think about. I said, ‘The goat’s gonna come out and do a tight two minutes,’ but instead he s–t on Chris‘ shoes. He destroyed Chris‘ shoes. He had on some white moon boots, and that goat got him.”

Regardless, Kevin said that the show served an important purpose for him and his fellow comedians.

“You don’t see that in our culture enough. You don’t see us share the spotlight and us show alignment in the space of, it doesn’t have to just be one,” he said. “There’s been this thing of, like, ‘There can only be one guy,’ or ‘One funny guy at the top.’ That’s not the case. There’s so much talent and we should all celebrate each other more, and that’s what that moment was about.”
