Kevin Hart has booked many a role, but his latest may be one of his biggest yet.
For, the funnyman has just been confirmed as the host of the 91st Oscars.
Details below…
Immediately following a formal announcement, Hart took to social media to confirm the news.
He billed the gig as “the opportunity of a lifetime” and that he’s “blown away” by the fact he gets to fulfil one of his all-time goals.
And he’s not exaggerated.
The star has been vocal about his desire to host the Academy Awards, saying in 2015:
“That would be a major accomplishment. With what I’ve done and the progress I’ve made in my career, that’s definitely the next major step, I feel, for a comedian,”
Check out his full post from tonight…
Hart, who previously hosted the MTV Movie Awards, will anchor Hollywood’s biggest calendar night on Sunday February 24th live on ABC.
Congrats!
I see they want to stick to hiring host that aren’t funny…
I personally don’t find him funny but congrats
Most lame, unfunny, and overated comedian EVER
he’s a TERRIBLE “comedian” & tries waaaay TOO HARD!
I don’t think he’s that funny, but major congrats to him! Fulfilling a lifetime goal is always a great thing!
I usually don’t like to use the term “overrated” but uhh…Kevin Hart is overrated lol. His facial expressions are funny tho ??♂️
He appeals to other races more than African Americans IMO. I will say I enjoy his standup WAAAAYYY more than his movies.
I won’t be watching now.
He is too ugly to look at. And his voice ….. yuck.
