Celebrities On Kevin Hart’s Award:
The celebrities from Hollywood honored Kevin Hart with their gracious words.
• Regina Hall, co-star of Hart, shared,
“Kevin really cares about the quality of the check. Not the product—honestly, some of that stuff is pretty bad, but the man knows how to get PAID!”
• Chris Rock, who was also present on the stands of the Kennedy Center, joked,
“The best acting Kevin Hart has ever done is because… he had to act like he had less money than Bryan Cranston.”
• Jerry Seinfield also joined the streak, as he said,
“If you look at Kevin Hart’s career, it doesn’t look like it was that hard to do.”
• Dave Chappelle added,
“You remind me… why I love comedy so much. I am honoured to know somebody like you. I really wish you had come when I won this award.” Many praised and paid tribute to the actor-comedian for his comic timing and the roles he has portrayed in the movies.
While receiving the award, Kevin Hart gave an emotional acceptance speech dedicated to his family. He said,
“I didn’t start doing what I was doing to get awards. I just fell in love with the idea of comedy. “Take my mom away, and I don’t have an idea of what I want or who I want to be. Later, he addressed his children, visibly choked up: “I breathe for you. I live for you.” He further added, “Sometimes, a gamble is the best way to define what will be you or ultimately become the best version of you. I found more ways to amplify it and get bigger and better.”
Before Hart, notable comedians from the business such as Adam Sandler, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Letterman, Tina Fey, Eddie Murphy, and Ellen DeGeneres have been given the honor.
