The authors prove the Gopakumar-Marino-Vafa formula for special cubic Hodge integrals. The GMV formula arises from Chern-Simons string duality applied to the unknot in the three sphere. The GMV formula is a q-analog of the ELSV formula for linear Hodge integrals. The authors find a system of bilinear localization equations relating linear and special cubic Hodge integrals. The GMV formula then follows easily form the ELSV formula. An operator form of the GMV formula is presented in the last section of the paper.
