Kevin Hart Says Claim He’s an Industry Plant Is ‘Not Worth My Time,’ Weighs In on Dave Chappelle: ‘Not Watching Someone You Don’t Find Funny’ Is an Option


Kevin Hart refuses to engage in speculation that he's just an industry plant.

Hart made headlines earlier this month when he said he will never host the Oscars because award shows “just aren’t comedy-friendly environments anymore,” and he doubled down on that opinion while talking about Koy. “When you look at those that have had a high level of success – Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock or Steve Martin – you’re looking at industry comics,” he continued. Both comedians are Netflix comedy fixtures, but it’s Chappelle who frequently courts controversy for making jokes about the transgender community.
