Comedian Kevin Hart has confirmed that he will host the 91st annual Academy Awards. I will be sure to make this years Oscars a special one, he promised in an Instagram post Tuesday night, adding, now it's time to rise to the occasion. Hart follows Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted Hollywoods biggest award show the past two years. Asked by The Daily Beast if he would want to host the show for a third time, Kimmel said, I sometimes lay in bed at night praying that they dont ask me, so I dont have to make that choice. Its a lot of work.

I think Kevin Hart will do great. The first time I saw him on SNL it was electric.

I still remember the skit where he plays his new song for the people he works with - hilarious.

It turns out they were part of gentrification and 'bit**s' referred to a dog walking business one of them had. I can't remember what else. I would if you reminded me of the part of the show I saw. I don't remember his new song one. It was not last year. It was 2 or 3 years ago.

(26,366 posts)8. Kevin Hart steps down as Oscars host...
Wednesday afternoon, comedian Kevin Hart was announced as the host for the upcoming 91st annual Academy Awards. By Thursday night, he had stepped down.
The turn of events followed outcry over previous anti-gay tweets, and comments Hart made during stand-up routines nearly 10 years ago. Some of the tweets were feverishly deleted throughout the day on Thursday, leading to an Instragram video from the comedian that only made matters worse for him.
My team calls me, Oh my God, Kevin, everyones upset by tweets you did years ago,' he said in that video. Guys, Im nearly 40 years old. If you dont believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I dont know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past, do you. Im the wrong guy, man.
