Kevin Hart was recently asked about hosting award shows during an interview with Sky News and swiftly shut down the idea of The Oscars, something he previously stated after stepping down from hosting duties at the event in 2019.
The interviewer was speaking to Hart, who was promoting the Netflix film ‘Life,’ and told the comedian that fans were upset at his absence at the 2019 Oscars.
Hart immediately said: “Whatever little hope you had, I want to destroy it right now. Those gigs aren’t good gigs for comics.”
The comedian then said, “Those just aren’t comedy-friendly environments anymore. I think they got it right one year where it was like just a bunch of personalities acting as the hosts and that’s a nice thing. It’s a collaborative thing, different people get to be responsible for act one, act two, act three, but you know, the days of it being a room for a comic, those days are done.”
Hart then said the Oscars room is “cold” before saying, “It’s too much pressure on the idea of a comic and which jokes are not jokes.”
