Ben Schwartz admits that he is not Stranger Things Joe Keery.

Hiking With Kevin has Kevin hiking with comedian Ben Schwartz on a hike in a Los Angeles canyon. Ben chats with Kevin about his love of improvisation, crying in the shower, fear of snakes, being friendly, his desire to be in a Marvel movie, the loss of our friend, Garry Shandling, following instructions plus more.

[@bradjones5963]

Ben walks like a scholarly advisor to a king strolling through the courtyard giving counsel.

[@justayoutuber1906]

Or like Grouch Marx

[@joereyna614]

Ben Schwartz seems like such a nice laid back dude. Him in Parks & Rec was hilarious and him in Renfield , he made a great bad guy lol

[@josephkelley8641]

would love to see Kevin Nealon play a bad guy. A heavy. Hitman or something.

[@DekesDiveClub]

If I ever run into Kevin while hiking, I plan on saying hello as Cajun Man. "KEVAH NEELOH!"

[@4057hofft]

I would be too shy to even approach

[@nerinetterivera9133]

Favorite episode!!!! Loved the interaction between the two of you. Such a friendly good time. Adding a laugh to the heavy topic of grief is always appreciated. Hugs to you both.

[@hannakinn]

Nice hike Kevin and I really did like Ben, he seems like genuinely nice guy, really. I was so glad how neither of you freaked out when encountering the rattle snake. Ben talking about his grief over the loss of Garry got me right in the fields. It's obvious Ben loves his friends. Be safe, enjoy yourselves.

[@tigergreg8]

Wow, he seems like a fun guy to hang with. I love how you interact with everyone, it's so casual and fun to listen too. You never know what's going to come out of your mouth next, and frankly, that's the part I love about this. Lmao.

[@BENGUCCI]

I got engaged at your show on stage in Seattle and met you. Thank you Kevin. Your the best.

[@debbimaxwell2438]

What a great hike! thanks for taking us along!

[@FightTalkMMA]

"I'm good with my hands.." -"Oh, like clapping and stuff?" LMFAO

[@mroddthedj]

I would pay so much to see Nealon & Schwartz improv show

[@gardenlover9663]

I related to their discussion about emotions hitting you when you don't expect. Yesterday I was watching the last two episodes of Parks and Recreation. They went forward in time to show what happens to all of the characters. They showed the date July 7th, 2023. That was my parents' anniversary. Most of the time I am okay with their passing, but then something like that comes outta left field, and it hits me in the gut.

[@Jx0654]

I love Ben Schwartz so much! He’s honestly my favourite person on this planet! He’s the most genuine, amazing and just incredible person! I could go on and on! Love you Ben! ❤

[@dallasrocket-yt6qp]

Thank you, Kevin! Love these hike vids. Already waiting for the next one. Always great guests! 👊

[@jbaby362]

This was lovely, this was good for a mental break

[@j1mmye]

Maybe my favorite episode ever. What a guest.

[@Passion8Christina]

Fabulous interview! It was very organic and natural; loved the chemistry!

[@FreedomRock44]

Good One Kevin and Ben!!!!!

[@linicampbell1901]

Thanks Kevin. As always a great interview...Love that Schwartzy...hopefully will see him in Toronto in August

[@mswright2133]

Kevin is breathing so hard and you can’t even tell Ben is on the same hike‼️😊. Kevin also gave us TMI regarding his bodily functions with the depends.😳

[@limetreess]

no fr cus i think on game grumps ben said he hates working out but i’m like wait…is he actually super fit lol

[@ashkennedy6295]

I know you didn’t edit out his Ireland story. I was interested to hear it! 😢 Very sweet story about grief, though, and how emotions flow. Seems like a very cool guy. In my heart, he’ll always be Jean-Ralphio and the “don’t be suspicious” meme with Jenny.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Haha, that was a nice chat! He does seem very nice and friendly. And he does look like Joe Keery. Glad you didn't take a spill there. Cool hidden hiking area, too! Thanks, Kevin!😅✌

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

thanks for spreading joy Kevin!

[@A91367]

Love Ben. Very funny bad guy in recent Dracula movie

[@theoneandonlycarlton]

Good Afternoon Kevin, Nice To See You Today 👍😎👍

[@JasonReitsch]

Funny how Kevin says nobody ever uses this trail then there are other hikers in almost every shot. 😆

[@johndavidjones7475]

Beautiful scenery

[@tinabeaver]

This has been one of my favorite episodes so far. I like all of them but this one seemed so natural. You two have a great chemistry.

[@mdrzn]

If you need more Ben Schwartz, do yourself a favor and listen to Comedy Bang Bang episodes with him.

[@chantingmammal]

Good afternoon Kevin (you were the best on @nbcsnl), I'm glad that you hiked with the person behind Sonic the Hedgehog in the Paramount Movies, and I'm so sad that Garry Shandling is dead too (2016?), and I really enjoyed your hikes, Hopefully you do one with David Letterman or Nora Dunn! Great Video Kevin Nealon!

[@tsuikagura]

Great little discussion, loved the chill vibes and Ben... thanks as always :D

[@jasonminier6782]

Not a mention of his role on Parks and Recreation.😢. It's cool though, glad he's the way he is and is moving up.

[@seanjustg5425]

Love these videos...thank ya for sharing and being authentic

[@MG-qr7yl]

Holy cow been about 4-6 months since I got into these vids and watched quite a few, so glad this one popped up! Like catching up with an old friend.❤

[@johnschall7855]

I love Ben. Great actor!

[@danawhite9823]

I didn't know who Ben was until Parks & Rec, but since then I've found a lot of his stuff online. Dude is genuinely funny.

[@gusgus8134]

Love Kevin's hiking conversations. What fun!

[@amygoodman4320]

I haven’t looked at all the comments but didn’t Ben walk by Kevin and a guest recently on the trail?

[@MarkCranerium]

The trails in Los Angeles look suspiciously like wide dirt roads

[@ficus3929]

Those are fire roads, one common type of trail. There are also plenty of single track trails as well, just depends where you go. I’m guessing fire roads are better for having a conversation since they can stand side by side.

[@FreedomRock44]

Kevin is that a new camera???? Very Clear. If not still nice and clear.

[@gaelgarciabarchive]

oh he’s lovely and you both seem to be in the same circles w diff generations that’s fab

[@Nucleite]

I looked up Joe Keery, and maybe it's just me, but I can't see how he could be confused for Ben. Has anyone else confused the two?

[@bigbird2451]

For me, LEGO is about freestyle. You follow the directions once. Then take it apart and make so many other wonderful things with the pieces.

[@blasphem0]

cool to hear some heavier music at the treacherous path point :) and the Blade dance club-type synth sound clip before that :)

[@NewMessage]

In her defense, that's how I run when I have to go to the bathroom 'really quickly'.

[@raenabz]

Loved this. ❤

[@Onionjellysarcasm]

I actually met you in Kilkenny years ago, at the Cat Laughs festival 💗 My friends and I didn’t have tickets for the closing night party but Lewis Black got us in and we had such a great time! So many fun people there that night and you and I chatted outside for a bit about your brother’s recent lasik surgery, among other things 😄 This was lovely content; two of my favorite dudes chatting it up and it warms my heart that you are friends - all the best to you both!

[@thetinkercook5430]

Funniest line in a movie, that totally caught me off-guard: "He's a poop-chipper. That says a lot about a man."

[@patsyporter5082]

My favourite hike! ♥️

[@edgarcampista9523]

I find this very therapeutic, keep it up ❤️ Also whenever possible, would love to hear an update on your sons Soccer Journey 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@limpinyakul]

Kev, listen, great stuff. I'm a little concerned over Ben's continuity in all the drone shot (hat, hoodie, etc). I hope the drone didn't take him out and he's been replaced. Anyway, thanks for the content.

[@timgraddy2418]

Keep doing these videos Kevin I love them.. “Pump you up”

[@FreedomRock44]

Great shot of LA at 4:48!!!!!

[@hdskl2150]

Ben is the cutest ❤ I love him 😊

[@hodorhodor7952]

another great hike, Kevin! so nice to see another incredibly friendly hiker out with you. good to know that Ben is such a nice dude! Joe Keery when?

[@spang9782]

Kevin! Just found your site a few days ago and love it! I already watched over 2 dozen! Please please try to get my boyhood crush on one of your hikes: Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles! I believe she lives in your area! Good time because she just put out an album and wrote a book!

[@hamburgler227]

Careful of the Poison Oak too Kevin! Saw ya'll brush up against some branches without checking. Don't think it was poison oak, but that stuff is all around in those hills.

[@bustedpresents]

Your videos are the best K-Dog

[@NoeA22]

great show mr. Nealon.

[@themonkeythatsmokes]

The Schartz is with us on the fourth!

[@usernotfound904]

John Ralphio!

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Good one!

[@01FozzyS]

Jean Ralphio!

[@robspecht9550]

That is Jean-Ralphio and I disavow knowledge of any other possibility.

[@bowmannovascotia298]

Cool t-a Shirt Kev! What’s the graphics all bout?

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

Ive always seen this guy and he seems exactly like i imagined. What a cool nice guy. Now im a big fan. Be really fun to hang out with him. I loved stranger things as well!

[@NitaKerns]

BEN IS THE BEST!!! Love that goofy boy!!

[@micherunnett5492]

BEN!!!

[@babubabu1406]

Loved your hiking buddy! Ben sounds a bit like Zach Braff 🤔

[@The_RedVIII]

It's funny to see them walk together finding out they've been friends for long, because in one of Kevin's last episodes he actually ran into Ben while walking with another celebrity (I forgot who it was), and Ben seemed kinda rude, kinda not acknowledging Kevin at all, I thought he didn't recognize him. lol But I guess it just seemed that way.

[@bostonphotographer20]

Ben's a pro, so I'm sure he noticed Kevin was filming and didn't want to interrupt.

[@D13fs]

Judy Greer episode 10 minutes in kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4SciKRnpLushck It's a bit, the drone shot shows them standing together.

[@limetreess]

i think that was just a bit lol

[@birth0fserpents]

2:40 Kevin misremembering the length of his marriage by nearly half (18 years)

[@raymondsimpson7433]

Lol, you are the greatest Kevin. Pick your feet up darlin, lol Ben, as far as instructions go, it's to easy to watch someone do it on KZbin than to do all that reading 📚 😄

[@_m_m4]

I hated John Ralphio in parks and recreation, but it was that role that made me start watching everything Ben does!! He was even great in Renfield

[@ReyArteb]

Like the new Camera... lookin SHARP! respect to everyone else on that trail trying to improve/preserve themselves.

[@ReyArteb]

@♜þɪɴɴᴇᴅ ʙʏ 𝐊𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧 piss off grifter.. get your own channel.. you are a BAD human being!

[@diddo9338]

Love ben schwartz!

[@MK-sj9dt]

See you at Radio City in September Benny!!!

[@hdskl2150]

Jenny slate next?! ❤😊

[@RandySasquatch]

Benny Schwaz is the man! Great chat

[@dielaughing73]

The Schwartzinator

[@FreedomRock44]

Apologies to Kevin's wife for him not knowing that they have been married 18 or almost 18 years!!!!! TEN????????

[@jenniferpetersen1670]

Ben Schwartz is my favorite ever. So nice to see him on here!

[@partyguy69420]

I still cannot believe he’s 42 ! I think you just age better when you’re a genuinely cool person

[@scout2568]

Do you sell Hiking With Kevin hats?

[@robyncooperramsey8323]

What a sweetheart Ben is.

[@1zymn1]

All I can think is why the hell is he in a hoodie?

[@kingsuperbus4617]

0:28 oh this is gonna be a good one lol

[@spothra8862]

If Kevin and I knew each other I'd call him Bob as a nickname, short for Kneel 'n Bob...

[@AlexanderWilliamsDesigns]

I love that Leroy Almon shirt!

[@edsmith2562]

In my experience even ladies that can't run can make it to the loo in no time at all.

[@FreedomRock44]

Kevin is perplexed between Evil and Good in this video!!!!!

[@Otis151]

RIP Gary

[@dmitrybelyakov]

Schwartz is cool

[@sweetjimmyt]

Benny Schwa!

[@snarevox]

hes been married to his current wife for 18 years, if they were only married for 10 years when he discovered she didnt know how to run, he didnt “just” discover it.. either that, or this hike video would have to be eight years old, which isnt possible unless they have access to a working time machine, because shandling passed in 2016 and that was only seven years ago from today on my timeline and theyre speaking of it as though it happened in the past... so yeah, cool story.

[@sonjatheierl1]

Kevin I really wanna go on a hike with you looks like a kick in the pants no BS. Only can we hike around a lake the views!

[@wilfredoriverajr.]

ty booker

[@Crrowley11]

I think I know what trail he went on for this video. It’s the one right across the Greek theater

[@rayjay238]

Space force?

[@bowmannovascotia298]

I can’t remember who the guy on it is.??

[@shawnforpresident5198]

Where are these b shots from? Looks like Ben is a small child with a different hat lol

[@bowmannovascotia298]

But it’s reminiscent of a mike judge animation
