‘I Didn’t Have a Computer’: Kevin Hart Talks About Buying THIS After Roommate Jason Segel Recommended It

Kevin Hart reveals hilarious tech blunder

During his initial writing phase, Hart recounted an amusing experience. Despite not having a computer yet, he went ahead and purchased Final Draft software, which he couldn’t use anywhere at the time.

The actor from Next Level chuckled as he shared, “I’d just dropped around $350 on Final Draft. I brought it home and exclaimed to Jason, ‘Look what I got!’ I wondered aloud, ‘Should I install it on your computer?'”

Enthusiastic about his new acquisition, Hart asked Segel if he could borrow his computer for use. Segel suggested that Hart needed one for himself, leading Hart to buy a Dell instead. Surrounded by creatives like Segel and Seth Rogen, Hart began writing without any prior knowledge, as it was the common practice among his peers. The early exposure to this environment naturally developed in him the habit of writing.

Jason Segel reminisces about Kevin Hart’s early dedication during their North Hollywood pilot days

Jason Segel once shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! an account of his experience co-working with Kevin Hart on the North Hollywood project. Segel viewed this phase as a difficult yet transformative period in his life, acknowledging that both him and Hart had not yet tasted significant success. He reminisced about the strain of having Hart reside in his modest one-bedroom apartment, particularly when it came to splitting daily responsibilities such as making breakfast.

I recall that period as quite unusual, looking back at our time creating an unreleased pilot with Amy Poehler, January Jones, and Judge Reinhold. At that point, we were all relatively green to the industry and hadn’t achieved significant recognition yet.

Segel went on to share, “I used to reside in a small one-bedroom apartment. Suddenly, Kevin Hart moved in with me. He’d casually ask, ‘Hey there, are you whipping up some breakfast? I could use some as well.’ So then, I found myself cooking breakfast for Kevin Hart.”

In an unexpected turn of events, I found Hart’s unwavering commitment truly inspiring. I recall how he would seclude himself to write, even during our social outings. His tenacity and relentless work ethic left a profound impact on me. I firmly believe that his dedication played a pivotal role in his ultimate triumph.
