<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-hart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Hart</a> made it crystal clear he will never host the Oscars and said the days of comedians taking those gigs are over because they aren’t &#8220;comedy friendly environments anymore.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the 44-year-old comedian&#8217;s appearance on </span><a href="https://news.sky.com/story/kevin-hart-on-oscars-chill-awards-shows-are-very-cold8230-they-arent-a-comedy-friendly-environment-13046358?dcmp=snt-sf-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sky News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a reporter asked Hart about stepping down as host of the Academy Awards five years ago and if fans could ever expect to see him take on the gig again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;No, absolutely not,&#8221; Hart said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s just throw that hope right out the window right now. Whatever level of hope you have, I want to destroy it right now. No, not at all.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Those gigs aren&#8217;t good gigs for comics,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It’s no shot to the Oscars, the Globes or anything. Those just aren&#8217;t comedy friendly environments anymore.&#8221;</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>— Sky News (@SkyNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1745729645696217257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 12, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The days of it being a room for a comic, those days are done,&#8221; Hart continued. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people who understand it. But if you&#8217;re not an industry comic, meaning a comic who has the relationship of all, then those rooms are very cold. &#8230; It&#8217;s not the gig that it was of old.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hart said kudos to those who have been able to do it, mentioning people like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comedians-adam-sandler-rob-schneider-and-more-defend-chris-rocks-will-smith-jokes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Rock</a> and comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/audience-response-makes-it-clear-golden-globe-viewers-want-ricky-gervais-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ricky Gervais,</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> but said he thought there was too much pressure now on what is and is not considered a joke.</span></p>
<p>The &#8220;Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle&#8221; star had previously been picked to host the Oscars in 2019, but ended up stepping down after he was told by the Academy to apologize over past tweets and jokes from stand-up shows years earlier that had resurfaced, or he won&#8217;t be the host.</p>
<p>&#8220;My team calls me, &#8216;Oh my God, Kevin, everyone&#8217;s upset by tweets you did years ago,'&#8221; <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/awards/kevin-hart-says-the-film-academy-has-given-him-an-ultimatum-apologize-or-well-find-another-oscars-host-1203083698/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hart</a> said in a video on Instagram at the time. &#8220;Guys, I&#8217;m nearly 40 years old. If you don&#8217;t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don&#8217;t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past, do you. I&#8217;m the wrong guy, man.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;I chose to pass on the apology,&#8221; he added in a second video. &#8220;The reason why I passed is because I&#8217;ve addressed this several times. This is not the first time this has come up. I&#8217;ve addressed it. I&#8217;ve spoken on it. I&#8217;ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I&#8217;ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I&#8217;ve done it. I&#8217;m not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I&#8217;ve moved on and I&#8217;m in a completely different place in my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a later tweet, Hart announced that he had stepped down from hosting so he wouldn&#8217;t be a distraction and wrote, &#8220;I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hart began by saying that he had chosen to share the story because he knew people might see him out and about and he didn&#8217;t want anyone to worry.</p>
<p>&#8220;Welp &#8230; any time somebody starts by saying &#8216;welp&#8217; — it&#8217;s bad. Ladies and gentleman, the age 40 is real. To all my men, women out there that are 40 years old and above, it&#8217;s not a game,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m in a wheelchair. Why? Well, because I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff. Tried to go out there and do some young man stuff, and then I was told to sit my a** down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hart then joked that he had to post something before Ridley did, adding, &#8220;Me and Stevan got into a little debate. This debate was based off who&#8217;s faster. Those that know me know, I&#8217;m pretty fast. Stevan said, &#8216;Kevin, ain&#8217;t no way you&#8217;re gonna beat me.&#8217; Stevan is an ex-NFL running back [who] played for the New England Patriots. Very good guy.&#8221;</p>
<p>The debate quickly escalated to a bet — and the results of the 40-yard dash that followed were unpleasant, to say the least. &#8220;Guys, I blew all my s***. Tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn — I don&#8217;t even know what that is, but I tore them. I tore those too. I can&#8217;t walk. Sit my a** down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hart continued to poke fun at himself , adding, &#8220;What are we competing for, at this age? What am I doing? &#8230; Got to be the stupidest man alive.&#8221;</p>

<p>Ridley offered his condolences, according to a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kevin-hart-injured-race-with-nfl-player-im-in-a-wheelchair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published by Fox News Digital — but not without a quick jab at Hart. &#8220;I saw [Tom Brady] do it at your age, so I figured you had the juice, too, big bro,&#8221; he said.</p>

While some outlets reported that it was a real game show, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/nick-cannon-whos-having-my-baby-game-show-kevin-hart-1235545865/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Variety, it&#8217;s actually a skit that&#8217;s part the upcoming series &#8220;Celebrity Prank Wars&#8221; on the E! network. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“We’re expecting … a new show on E!,” the 42-year-old Cannon shared on his Twitter and Instagram profiles along with a promo clip. </span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“You’re going to get some contestants that want to have your baby,” Hart says to Cannon in the video clip before a female voiceover announces, “We’re not kidding around.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cannon is a father of 12. This fact has become a running joke in the entertainment industry, with the “Wild ‘n Out” host often making fun of himself for having so many kids with so many different women.</span></p>
<p>The celebrity often makes light of this situation. “It’s almost the holidays, and thanks to me, the world now has 8 billion people, but my job’s not done,” he <a href="https://youtu.be/3BZAdyqq5eI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joked</a> in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nick-cannon-feels-guilt-juggling-quality-time-with-11-kids-im-just-spread-thin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube video</a> during the Christmas season. “And based off the baby mama to kid ratio, we got a whole hell of a lot of gifts to buy.”</p>
<p>“All these damn gifts, y’all just don’t wanna go to college,” the singer continued. “It’s gonna be a merry m*****-f***ing Christmas!”</p>
<p>Hart has also been mocking the idea of Cannon leaving a string of single moms in his wake. In 2020, he rented a billboard in Los Angeles that said, “For any advice on fatherhood? Call my best friend Nick Cannon.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">He shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cannon also had two children with Alyssa Scott, including his newest daughter Halo Marie, born in December 2022. His and Alyssa’s son, Zen, died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The actor welcomed five children in 2022 alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cannon claims he spends more than $3 million each year supporting his children financially and doesn’t plan to “participate in the governmental system of child.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">He also insists he&#8217;s a very involved father, and a traditional family structure is not necessarily ideal. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“If I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I’m talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime and stuff. And then when I am [in the same city, I’m] driving my kids to school, like, making sure I pick ’em up,” Cannon told Men’s Health during an </span><a href="https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40062470/nick-cannon-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> last June.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“I’ve seen where people believe a traditional household works, and [yet] there’s a lot of toxicity in that setting,” he continued. “It’s not about what society deems is right. It’s like, what makes it right for you? What brings your happiness? What allows you to have joy and how you define family? We all define family in so many different ways.”</span></p>

<p>The retired Miami Dolphins linebacker mentioned his yearly excursion during an appearance alongside Hart on &#8220;The Pivot&#8221; podcast, and Hart — clearly confused — followed the revelation with a series of stilted questions and double takes.</p>

<p>&#8220;So, me and my wife go to a nudist colony like once a once a year &#8230;&#8221; Crowder began, prompting an immediate &#8220;Sorry?!&#8221; from Hart.</p>
<p>&#8220;We go to nudist colony,&#8221; Crowder repeated.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s going on?&#8221; Hart interrupted, shaking his head.</p>
<p>&#8220;We go to a place where, like, you walk in, and everybody just gets naked and runs around,&#8221; Crowder tried again.</p>
<p>&#8220;I heard you say it,&#8221; Hart shot back, appearing to struggle as he tried to come up with a question that made sense. &#8220;I&#8217;m asking — I&#8217;m just asking you what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay, yeah. So we go to the nudist colony and you know, we just kind of go around, you gotta shave everything and show out,&#8221; Crowder explained. &#8220;And especially when you shave your sh**, it looks bigger because you gain inches from no hair.&#8221;</p>
<p>The whole time Crowder was speaking, Hart stared at him, clearly still not wrapping his brain around what was happening.</p>
<p>&#8220;Back up for a second. I just wanna get clarity. Y’all just hanging out or y’all f***ing these people like what–&#8221; Hart tried to make it make sense.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, no, there are swingers there, but you set the precedent when you get there,&#8221; Crowder clarified, seeming to indicate that while some of the attendees were swingers, he and his wife were not.</p>
<p>&#8220;So y’all get down?&#8221; Hart asked, his brow wrinkled in confusion.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don’t get down, but we just like to be around naked people together,&#8221; Crowder replied, prompting a laugh from podcast cohost Fred Taylor.</p>
<p>&#8220;You hear what you’re saying out loud?&#8221; Hart asked, still apparently not satisfied with the explanation thus far.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don’t like to be around naked people?&#8221; Crowder asked.</p>
<p>Hart was clearly not convinced: &#8220;Be honest with you I have no desire to be around a bunch of people I don’t know, just sitting there naked.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hart appeared onstage at Madison Square Garden with fellow comedian Chris Rock on Saturday — as part of their &#8220;Only Headliners Allowed&#8221; tour — and comedian <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/epic-night-just-days-after-one-venue-cancels-dave-chappelle-he-surprises-delighted-audience-in-nyc/">Dave Chappelle</a> delighted fans when he showed up as the surprise opening act.</p>

<p>Comedian Dave Chappelle dropped in on a surprised and apparently delighted New York City audience on Saturday, appearing as the unannounced opening act for fellow comedians Chris Rock and Kevin Hart for their &#8220;Only Headliners Allowed&#8221; tour stop at Madison Square Garden.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/how-bad-does-a-n-have-to-be-that-jon-stewart-would-stomp-him-dave-chappelle-jokes-about-man-who-attacked-him-at-hollywood-bowl/">Chappelle</a>, who was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/theater-caves-cancels-dave-chappelle-hours-before-show-we-know-there-are-some-who-will-not-agree-with-this-decision/">ousted</a> from a Minnesota venue less than a week earlier over jokes critics had slammed as &#8220;transphobic,&#8221; joined the two onstage and was greeted by an explosion of applause from the audience.</p>
<p>&#8220;Had to sneak my way in here,&#8221; Chappelle reportedly told the audience by way of explanation, walking out to Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;Karma Police.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite what you may have read about in the news, I’m OK, and I appreciate the support,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Hart called Chappelle&#8217;s appearance &#8220;the best moment&#8221; of his career, sharing several photos from the event. &#8220;Last night was by far the best moment of my career,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;I can&#8217;t even explain it &#8230; I can&#8217;t find the words &#8230; Just know that last night was the true definition of a &#8216;EPIC NIGHT&#8217; &#8230; I love my brothers more than words can explain. We made history last night!!! #RockHartChappelle&#8221;</p>

<p>Chappelle has recently been <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dave-chappelle-fires-back-at-netflix-trans-activists-i-said-what-i-said-you-will-not-summon-me/">under fire</a> for jokes from his latest Netflix special &#8220;The Closer,&#8221; during which he defended &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling, who has been labeled a TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist).</p>
<p>&#8220;They canceled J.K. Rowling – my God,&#8221; Chappelle said. &#8220;Effectually she said gender was a fact, the trans community got mad as (expletive), they started calling her a TERF &#8230; I&#8217;m Team TERF. I agree. I agree, man. Gender is a fact.&#8221;</p>

<p>Superstars Kevin Hart and Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson hilariously took on the latest trend on TikTok called &#8220;The Tortilla Challenge&#8221; in a video posted Wednesday on Instagram that&#8217;s since gone viral.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPcsH_MwqG/">clip</a> posted on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-hart-discusses-cancel-culture-when-did-we-get-to-a-point-where-life-was-supposed-to-be-perfect">43-year-old</a> comedian&#8217;s social media account, Hart introduced what he and &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/great-stuff-here-brother-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-stands-with-joe-rogan">The Rock</a>&#8221; were up to as the two stand there holding green tortillas. The &#8220;Night School&#8221; star discussed how the two had &#8220;seen the kids playing this game&#8221; in which they &#8220;slap each other&#8221; with tortillas while holding a gulp of water in their mouths.</p>
<p>He captioned his post, &#8220;If this s*** don&#8217;t make you laugh then something is physically wrong with you. I have been wanting to do this for years….I got to live out my dream and smack the living s*** out of @therock …&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my god this felt so good!&#8221; he added. &#8220;Insert evil laugh ….. Make sure y&#8217;all watch our movie &#8216;DC Super Pets&#8217; on July 29th in theaters everywhere!&#8221;</p>

<p>Before the two start, Hart has to scold Johnson for the way he was first holding the tortilla, saying he had to hold it loosely because he didn&#8217;t want &#8220;The Rock&#8221; to &#8220;f***ing knock me out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson responded, telling Hart not to use &#8220;your hand,&#8221; warning him not to screw around and &#8220;put his whole hand back there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two then each take a big gulp of water and hold it. They rock, paper, scissors to see who will go first, and Hart wins. Holding back laughter, he swings and hits Johnson. To say the &#8220;Red Notice&#8221; star looked mad would be putting it mildly.</p>
<p>&#8220;You slapped the ever loving s*** out of me!&#8221; Johnson replied. Holding his cheek he reluctantly agrees to continue.</p>
<p>The pair rock, paper, scissors again, and Hart wins again. Still both holding in water, The Rock takes another hit. This time the comedian is barely hanging on and is clearly dying of laughter. At first he looked ready to burst out laughing, and not long after does so as he spits out the water.</p>
<p>Johnson responds, &#8220;So I win now,&#8221; because Hart spilled his water first.</p>
<p>Johnson&#8217;s &#8220;Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle&#8221; co-star then said he&#8217;s a &#8220;good f***ing partner&#8221; and would let The Rock &#8220;get a smack&#8221; in. The two were both clearly having way too much fun.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well this is us trying to keep up with the younger generation,&#8221; Kevin concludes in the video, with Johnson saying in the background, &#8220;Never again&#8230; My f***ing ear drum is bleeding.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seth Rogen may be a well-known actor, but he understands why the audience has been shrinking in recent years for Hollywood&#8217;s biggest night. The “Knocked Up” alum said he’s not surprised that viewers have stopped tuning to the ceremony in recent years. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves,” the 39-year-old actor said during an </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/seth-rogen-people-dont-care-the-oscars-2022-2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with Insider.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“To me, maybe people just don’t care,” Rogen continued. “I don’t care who wins the automobile awards. No other industry expects everyone to care about what awards they shower upon themselves. Maybe people just don’t care. Maybe they did for a while and they stopped caring. And why should they?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Viewership for the Oscars has been declining for years. According to the </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/02/11/seth-rogen-people-dont-care-about-oscars-outside-hollywood/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, only 9.85 million people tuned in for the 2021 installment while 23.6 million watched the Oscars in 2020. Viewership was at 29.6 million in 2019.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There could be a few reasons for this, and no doubt some of them are pandemic related. Notable in 2019, the Academy did away with in-person hosts after a controversy caused the slated host, comedian Kevin Hart, to back out of the gig.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans brought up “homophobic” jokes Hart made in the past. The comedian voluntarily stepped down as host after apologizing for offending anyone. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscars,” the comedian said at the time on Twitter. “This is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Oscars will have hosts in 2022 for the first time since Jimmy Kimmel did the job back in 2018. It’s believed that Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall will be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-regina-hall-and-wanda-sykes-tapped-to-host-2022-oscars">sharing hosting duties</a> for the 2022 installment of the show.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rogen has never been nominated for an Oscar but has attended and even performed at several ceremonies. The “Knocked Up” actor teamed up with his “Pineapple Express” co-star James Franco for a skit at the Oscars show in 2009.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Academy Awards haven’t been back to “normal” since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but this year is the closest it’ll be to a time before masks and vaccines were part of every conversation about large gatherings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In yet another controversial moment, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-regina-hall-and-wanda-sykes-tapped-to-host-2022-oscars/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">announced their plan</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> not to mandate proof of vaccination (with or without a booster) in order to attend this year’s in person Oscars ceremony. Instead, attendees will need to provide a negative PCR test or a negative rapid antigen test on the day of the event.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the Academy does require their employees to be vaccinated with rare medical exemptions. These truths have been met with derision and anger on social media since the announcements were made. </span></p>

“Good Boys” Premiere – 2019 SXSW Conference and Festivals

‘Maybe People Just Don’t Care’ About The Oscars, Seth Rogen Says About Declining Viewership

Seth Rogen

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2022 Academy Awards will have hosts for the first time in three years. The last person to host the show was Jimmy Kimmel in 2018. Now the Oscars will feature not one, but three celebrity hosts when it airs on March 27.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to </span><a href="https://deadline.com/2022/02/oscar-host-wanda-sykes-amy-schumer-regina-hall-1234933232/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deadline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes will all contribute to hosting duties during the show. The show’s producer Will Packer was apparently taking meetings for weeks to find the perfect hosts. “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm was considered at one point, but the show organizers ultimately went in a different direction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schumer, said on Instagram Sunday that she had “big fun news comin,” which fans are now speculating has something to do with her hosting gig.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Packer no doubt spent a lot of time making the decision of who should host after the drama that happened before the 2019 installment of the show. That’s when their selected host, comedian Kevin Hart, was ousted from the program due to controversial jokes about hoping his son isn&#8217;t gay and other “homophobic humor.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hart stepped down from </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-hart-regrets-how-he-handled-oscars-controversy-i-was-immature"><span style="font-weight: 400;">hosting the Oscars</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and apologized to the LGBTQ community for his “insensitive words” 48 hours after accepting the gig.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscars,” the comedian said at the time on Twitter. “This is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Academy has worked hard to avoid controversy ever since and so far, that means not having a host at all. But this year’s Oscars are already causing drama for an entirely different reason.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced their plan not to </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/and-the-oscar-for-hypocrisy-goes-to-twitter-reacts-to-the-academy-awards-not-requiring-proof-of-vaccination"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mandate proof of vaccination</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (with or without a booster) in order to attend this year’s in person Oscars ceremony. Instead, attendees will need to provide a negative PCR test or a negative rapid antigen test on the day of the event.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the Academy does require their employees to be vaccinated with rare medical exemptions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This announcement was met with derision from followers on social media, who called it hypocritical to not require vaccines for attendees while enforcing it for employees. “SURPRISE: Elites Think They’re Special And Don’t Need A COVID Vaccine Mandate,” one Twitter user shared.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other awards shows taking place in person including the SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards will be requiring proof of vaccination.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Los Angeles is still operating under a state of emergency, which is why people also called out the hypocrisy of so many fans going maskless during the Super Bowl this year. Photos of celebrities attending the football game without masks made rounds on social media following the event. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a very good chance that some of those same celebrities will be at the Oscars next month as well. </span></p>

<p>Speaking with the Sunday Times earlier this week, Kevin Hart denounced cancel culture for its lack of mercy and demand that people be forever perfect.</p>
<p class="p1">“If people want to pull up stuff, go back to the same tweets of old, go ahead,” he said. “There is nothing I can do. You’re looking at a younger version of myself. A comedian trying to be funny and, at that attempt, failing. Apologies were made. I understand now how it comes off. I look back and cringe. So it’s growth. It’s about growth.”</p>
<p class="p1">“When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time? I don’t understand,” he continued. “I don’t expect perfection from my kids. I don’t expect it from my wife, friends, employees. Because, last I checked, the only way you grow up is from f***ing up. I don’t know a kid who hasn’t f***ed up or done some dumb s***.”</p>
<p class="p1">“People get locked up so they can be taught a lesson,” he explained. “When they get out, they are supposed to be better. But if they come out and people go, ‘I’m not giving you a job because you were in jail,’ then what the f*** did I go to jail for? That was my punishment? How do you not give those people a shot? They’re saying that all life should be over because of a mistake? Your life should end and there should be no opportunity to change? What are you talking about?”</p>

Kevin Hart Blasts His Critics: ‘The Hate/Slander Fuels Me To Do More’

<p class="p1">In an interview with <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kevin-hart-i-say-this-humbly-but-im-as-talented-as-f-im-really-good-at-what-i-do-vz0cmxbbd"><span class="s1">The Sunday Times</span></a>, comedian and actor Kevin Hart discussed “cancel culture” after he ended his hosting gig for the 2019 Academy Awards over previous tweets and jokes deemed offensive by the &#8220;woke.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;If people want to pull up stuff, go back to the same tweets of old, go ahead,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is nothing I can do.

<p><span class="s2">Per <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kevin-hart-cancel-culture-oscars-hosting-scandal"><span class="s3">Fox News</span></a></span>, &#8220;Hart made sure to note that people who have done something truly damaging to others should be held accountable and face consequences. However, he doesn’t believe that’s always the case when it comes to cancel culture, specifically in his situation.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p1">Hart made the suggestion that more people simply not agree with one another instead of saying people should be permanently removed from entertainment, the outlet noted.</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;People get locked up so they can be taught a lesson,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;When they get out, they are supposed to be better. But if they come out and people go, &#8216;I&#8217;m not giving you a job because you were in jail&#8217; then what the f*** did I go to jail for? That was my punishment? How do you not give those people a shot? They&#8217;re saying that all life should be over because of a mistake? Your life should end and there should be no opportunity to change? What are you talking about?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re not saying something to make people angry. That&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m on stage,&#8221; Hart explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to make you laugh and if I did not make you laugh I failed. That&#8217;s my consequence.”</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;If there&#8217;s a message to take from anything I&#8217;ve said,&#8221; he ended. &#8220;It&#8217;s that in this world of opinion, it&#8217;s OK to just disagree. It&#8217;s OK to not like what someone did and to say that person wasn&#8217;t for me. We are so caught up in everybody feeling like they have to be right and their way is the only way. Politics is f***ed up because, if you don&#8217;t choose our side, you&#8217;re dumb.”</p>
<p class="p1">Hart stepped aside from hosting the 2019 Academy Awards after <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kevin-hart-steps-down-from-oscar-hosting-gig-after-past-staments"><span class="s1">some of his previous jokes and tweets drew criticism</span></a> and the Academy requested that he apologize, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-hart-caves-apologizes-over-oscars-controversy-i-did-f-up"><span class="s1">reported</span></a>.</p>
<p class="p1">“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscars … this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists,” he wrote on Twitter. “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">He added, “I’m sorry that I hurt people. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Much love &amp; appreciation to the Academy.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I hope we can meet again.”</p>

Kevin Hart Slams Cancel Culture: ‘When Did We Get To A Point Where Life Was Supposed To Be Perfect? ’

<p>Comedian and actor Kevin Hart said in an Instagram post Wednesday that President Donald Trump told the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to &#8220;stand back and stand by&#8221; during Tuesday night&#8217;s first 2020 presidential debate.</p>
<p>This, of course, is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/media-trump-condemning-white-supremacists-biden-wont-condemn-violent-radicals">not close to being true</a>. In fact, the president has routinely denounced white supremacy and announced the designation of the KKK as a terrorist group.</p>
<p>&#8220;When [T]rump was asked to address the KKK. THIS MAN SAID &amp; I quote&#8230; &#8216;Stand back and stand by,&#8221; Hart posted to Instagram.</p>
<p>Captioning the post, Mr. Hart wrote: &#8220;If this isn’t enough to make you go vote then I don’t know what is&#8230;.Wake up!!!!! This man is promoting hate at the highest level. Blunt f***ing racism&#8230;..F***ING RACISM!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Seemingly acknowledging the error of his post &#8212; an error pointed up by many, many commenters &#8212; Hart unapologetically added, &#8220;If you don’t see it this way then your apart of the f***ing problem!!!! I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I WILL STAND ON THAT S***!!!!!!&#8221;</p>

<p>As outlined by The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/media-trump-condemning-white-supremacists-biden-wont-condemn-violent-radicals">Matt Walsh</a>, here&#8217;s transcript of the debate exchange he&#8217;s seemingly referencing:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>[Debate moderator Chris] Wallace: “You have repeatedly criticized the Vice President for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups. But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacist and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities. As we’ve seen in Kenosha and as we’ve seen in Portland.”</em></p>
<p><em>Trump: “Sure I’m willing to do that.”</em></p>
<p><i>[Democratic nominee Joe] Biden: “Then do it.”</i></p>
<p><em>Wallace: “Go ahead, sir.”</em></p>
<p><em>Trump: “I would say, I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing not from the right.”</em></p>
<p><em>Wallace: “So what are you saying?”</em></p>
<p><em>Trump: “I’m willing to do anything — I want to see peace.”</em></p>
<p><em>Wallace: “Then do it, sir.”</em></p>
<p><em>Biden: “Say it. Do it. Say it.”</em></p>
<p><em>Trump: “Do you want to call them — what do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name. Go ahead, who would you like me to condemn?”</em></p>
<p><em>Wallace: “White supremacists and right wing militias.”</em></p>
<p><em>Biden: “Proud boys.”</em></p>
<p><em>Trump: “Proud boys, stand back and stand by…”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Hart&#8217;s post suggests Tump&#8217;s &#8220;stand down and stand by&#8221; comment was directed at the &#8220;KKK,&#8221; when in fact it was directed at the Proud Boys, an all-male group that has expressly and routinely <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/1/proud-boys-black-lives-matter-leaders-hold-joint-c/">denounced</a> white supremacy.</p>
<p>The Trump administration in April took a historic step to designate a white supremacist group known as the Russian Imperial Movement, or RIM, as a global terrorist organization and sanctioned three of its leaders, ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/state-dept-labels-white-supremacist-group-terrorists-1st/story?id=69998908">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Moreover, last week, Trump <a href="https://www.mystateline.com/news/politics/trump-pledges-500b-to-black-communities-designates-kkk-antifa-as-terrorist-organizations/">announced</a> the designation of the KKK as a terrorist organization, made lynching a national hate crime, and pledged $500 billion to black communities.</p>
<p>“For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken black voters for granted. They made you big promises before every election—and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,” said Trump. “The Democrats will always take black voters for granted until large numbers of black Americans vote Republican.”</p>
<p>The post from Hart remains up online and has amassed over 1 million &#8220;likes&#8221; and over 50,000 comments.</p>

Kevin Hart Defends Bizarre Claim About Trump And KKK: ‘I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I WILL STAND ON THAT S***!!!!!!’

<p>NBC News found itself at the center of an internet trollfest on Tuesday when it announced that Olympic champion Usain Bolt had been diagnosed with COVID-19. The problem? A photo of comedian Kevin Hart showed up instead of Bolt.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">There’s no way NBC actually  used a Kevin Hart pic for usain bolt getting covid &#8230; Lmao <a href="https://t.co/enaG7IDkUL">pic.twitter.com/enaG7IDkUL</a></p>

<p>Given that Kevin Hart stands at 5&#8217;4 while Usain bolt towers above him at 6&#8217;5, people on Twitter were confused how the case of mistaken identity occurred, including Hart.</p>
<p>In an Instagram post, the comedian denounced the photo mishap as being &#8220;disrespectful on so many levels.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No comment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I must of gotten really fast &amp; tall overnight&#8230;I want to take advantage of this moment &amp; race anybody in the world. We can bet whatever&#8230;S**t just got real. I am also no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule&#8230;.IM BACK BITCHES!!!!!! P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels&#8230;All you can do is laugh. Maybe the COVID-19 shrunk his legs &amp; torso.&#8221;</p>

<p>Though the photo of Usain Bolt was false, the story about him testing positive for COVID-19 was not. As reported by the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/usain-bolt-contracts-coronavirus-after-maskless-birthday-party">Daily Beast</a>, the Olympic champion tested positive for the virus after hosting a maskless birthday party.</p>
<p>&#8220;World-record sprinter Usain Bolt has tested positive for the coronavirus, days after celebrating his 34th birthday with a maskless party,&#8221; reported the outlet. &#8220;Jamaica’s Ministry of Health confirmed that the eight-time Olympic gold medalist had contracted the virus. Bolt posted an image to social media last week with his 5-month-old daughter, declaring it the &#8216;Best birthday ever.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Usain Bolt said of the diagnosis on Twitter, &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to be responsible, so I&#8217;m going to stay in and stay away from my friends. I&#8217;m having no symptoms (but) am going to quarantine myself.&#8221;</p>
