Kevin Hart Earned His Star of Fame & Continues to Do BIG Things

Kevin Hart has been named the “Hardest Working Man” in Hollywood. From sold out comedy tours to movies to guest hosting on daytime television, to commercials and to producing his own show The Real Husbands of Hollywood, Hart has really taken it to the next level. You have to ask yourself, “Is there anything Kevin Hart can’t do?” And with all of his success, will he ever take break? And my answer to you would be “No time soon.”

From a recent interview with Variety, Hart has confirmed his intentions to keep going higher:

“The sky’s the limit for me,” he states earnestly. “I really believe that, and at this point I feel I’m basically competing with myself. By that, I mean that no one can push me harder than I push myself. I set my own bar and I constantly raise that bar to be higher and higher.”

And indeed, that bar is being pushed to the limit as Hart discovers more and more ways to not only brand himself but help other “less known acts” along the way to his continued success. Kevin has his appointment book filled with new ventures that lead all the way up to 2017. Listed below are a couple of things the comedian has coming our way in the weeks and months to come:

While continuing to run his production company, Hartbeat with longtime manager David Becky, the duo will produce a comedy series called Hart of the City which will air on Comedy Central in October. The series will showcase young comedians that haven’t had any national exposure, who are out there working the clubs.. Kevin will be giving them an opportunity to “shine” during the series of this show.
Hart also has Hartbeat Digital which is a subscription based digital network that will have Laugh Out Loud (LOL). This will be a joint venture with Lionsgate in which will have Hart’s content produced on his own network. With this network, Hart stated that he will now be in the drivers seat to bring material to others and help new and upcoming comedians.

“I’m trying to become a mogul — a comedy mogul, and the best way to do that is to do things that are comedy-based and where you can help those around you.”

Hart has a group of comedians called the “Plastic Cup Boyz” who have been touring and opening up for him since day one. Since touring with Hart they have gone on to open up comedy shows all over the world on their own; even when Hart is not touring.

“I think when you look at a man and that man’s team, it’s a great way to judge that man’s success. Your team is a representation of you and where you are. So I love the fact that my guys are shining.”

According to Variety, Hart states that the Laugh Out Loud is set to be released late February or March 2017. Things weren’t always looking up for Hart as he’s had his fair share of disappointments but according to his longtime friend and manager, David Becky, Hart never allowed a disappointment to get him down; he stated that the comedian always kept going. Hart on the other hand never thought of the experiences he encountered to be bad ones, as he states they were “Educational moments; not failures.”

“Nothing happens overnight, and if a road has no bumps and rocks, you don’t get a story. So those times when I didn’t get jobs that I felt I should have got, when stuff got canceled and my acting career that I thought was going to blossom and be amazing just didn’t move at all — it all helped build character, and built stuff for me to talk about as a comedian. You need experiences, good and bad.”

Hart will be starring in the movie/stand-up comedy show What Now which will be in a theater near you on October 14th. He will also be in the remake of Intouchables with Bryan Cranston and another Disney movie entitled Captain Underpants both of which will be coming soon. He is also currently working in Honolulu on a remake of the hit 90’s movie Jumanji in which starred the late Robin Williams.

Hart also received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, you can see that video above.
