Former New York Rangers forward Reilly Smith returned to the Vegas Golden Knights near the end of the 2024-25 season. With the postseason in full swing, Smith decided to relax for a night and catch comedian Will Burkhart, which would lead to a hilarious interaction between the two personalities.

Personality-wise, of course, Smith was humble and showed plenty of humility. As for Burkhart, he'd call out Smith, not recognizing the former Stanley Cup champion who suited up for the team during their 2022-23 Stanley Cup run.
Smith would up the ante at one point during the dialogue, where Burkhart would ask about whether or not he had all his teeth.
Hilarity ensued, as Burkhart would editorialize.
Burkart asked from the stage, «Dude, do you got all your teeth and stuff?»

As the crowd erupted in laughter, Burkart recoiled and exclaimed, «Oh sh**, bro!»

Former Ranger Reilly Smith & William Burkhart

At the beginning of the interaction, Smith was chosen by Burkhart, as he sat in the front row, and asked if he worked during the week. It'd lead to him making the assumption he was a teacher instead of a professional hockey player. That would lead us to the clip above, where he'd ask who he played for.
The crowd would chant "Go Knights Go and Burkhart would be taken aback by his lack of knowledge, and seemed like he had been "had" by Smith.
No more or less mild-mannered than your everyday Clark Kent without the superpowers.
«I just got nervous all of a sudden, I'm not sure why,» Barkart joked. He then fist-bumped the 14-year NHL veteran.

Smith would give us the highlight of the interaction, with the popping out of his false teeth, all the while, Burkhart would continue the gig.
It's not too often you get to see something as hilarious as this.
