- For the first time, Kevin Hart opened up to Ellen about being hired to host the 2019 Oscars, only to step down from the job days later after decade-old controversial tweets surfaced. The comedian explained how he has apologized and why he decided not to stay on as host of the prestigious event.

This is the longest I've seen Ellen be quiet on her own show.
Wanderer 2711 hahaha don’t you remember Kanye West rant lol
She looked so nervous
@@elsaahlen1032 i was going to write that lol.
Right?! And that time she had Kanye West on.
Now seeing @Sophia Queen's response. Lolol
Dang never seen her audience so quiet
She'Myia Malone i was starting to question if they left while he was talking or something haha
She uses applause signs. Left them off so he could speak.
Ikr
Ikr
Cognitive dissonance
I like that Ellen let him speak without interrupting! You can tell she believes him
Yes because if he was a 'homophobe' he would not sit next to a homosexual
@Greatest Ever huh
no because this brings her white platform more views
Imagine if he was with Jimmy Kimmel dude would cut him off every word
Ricardo Aguinaga Great Point!
This is the MOST sincerest apology and statement that I have ever seen. When you see other celebrities apologizing on talk shows, they're always lookin away or it always feels like they're reading from a script. When you look at his body language, he is earnest and his eyes are looking directly at Ellen. Good one, Kevin.. all the best
Noartist of course he had to apologize what you mean
@Noartist Ask Mel Gibson, Micheal Richards and Kathy Griffin.
@J Will How do you know the tears are fake?
@J Will That's true; I have never detected an undercurrent of anger in any of his interviews.
@@HI-by8qn how tf should he have apologixed? the LGBT community should have apologized to HIM for being snowflakes
Imagine if he was giving this talk on jimmy fallon show, he would've been interrupted like 7 times.
Only 7?
@@melissav695 loll
More like 3 seconds
he would've laughed while smacking the table
Ellen had her first big break on Johnny Carson. Who was the best talk show host ever.
Never heard ellen be so quiet but pleased she was, kevin is absolutely spot on. Hes already said sorry and moved on.
I don't get it what did he do?
Serine Dh he tweeted homophobic jokes in 2008-2009
He never said sorry lol even though he keeps saying he said it... find me the quote where he said he sorry from years ago
When did he apologise in the past?
Zed he literally says in the video when he has apologized. Do your own research before you assume.
Only 6 minutes that Kevin has spoken and nobody has laughed.
@Janith Haputhanthri As a typical latino midget, I take offense😂😂😂
Pankaj Singh i laughed at how sorry he felt for himself
Its because they didnt turn on the laugh sign for the npc audience
gilbert martinez - only someone illiterate with no comprehension skills would say he talked in circles - typical hispanic
Riley Ramsey cmon man, not all of us are like him lol
"I don't know the perfect individual that society is now looking for." Exactly. This is insanity.
I totally agree!
It's because Americans are so used to being heard by the world, so a lot of them tend to be self-righteous. It's a good thing though bec it influences the world. But this is the extreme side effect of that: every American talking on all fronts without anyone listening. Non-Americans know how to listen first before speaking.
They took the One who is Perfect and nailed Him to the Cross
And it's still going on...shame.
The one that isnt hateful to all kinds of people and accepts all as just human beings?
It's really sad when people bring out your past just to put you down. 😩
They did the same with youtuber Laura Lee
Bindi Rock who
Logan Paul lol
Like james gunn :
They did that to Trump... they will do this to anyone and everyone.
Take notes Jimmy Fallon. That's how a host should be when the guest are talking.
OMG yes for real
it is amazing how she kept listening to him without interrupting for like 5 minutes..
@@mohamedmomtezmahjoubi5630 I don't always agree with her, but Ellen is a professional and a class act. Cannot stand interviewers who interrupt constantly.
@Imaelito AC your rebuttal is hurting my head
Piereza Josiah this was a serious subject not a celeb plugging a movie
I really dont get it bc Kevin already addressed this issue, it's not like he ignored it, he acknowledges his mistake so let's just move on
This is the truth of the media.. scumbags often do good for people but most often than not they try n ruin hard working people.
He never apologized until he was ousted.
no he didn't. he gave a non apology saying he wouldn't tell these kinds of jokes anymore because people are son sensitive.
O please. He could have just apologised again and be done with it. But his ego stood in the way. So much drama for something so dumb.
@@theyovilleshows he apologized years ago for making the comment. He didn't see the need to apologize cause he had already done it years ago. The media made it seem like he still is set in some sort of homophobic and ignorant way when this was already addressed YEARS ago
"You can't grow as a person without mistakes." Well said Kevin.
And a person that can recognize & admit one's mistakes is more trustworthy than one who "never" errs.
well said A.D!
You mean like Trump with his "Perfect call"?
People are just too sensitive about everything these days. Going after a comedian for making a joke 10 years ago. Talk about intolerance from a community that preaches about tolerance all the time.
Spot on.
@GekkeGerrit You haven't heard a joke before, have you
@GekkeGerrit I have seen the tweets and the stand up where he made that joke. Again people are too sensitive about it. Do you get how twisted it is to check for a 10 year tweet and have him apologize for it?
Yeah I didnt see it this way till now.
It wasn't a light joke and he has refused to properly apologize for it
Most people aren't the same person they were three or four years ago, let alone 10 years ago
he's still the same, he refuses to apologize.
He apologized back then and again when it came up. What are you talking about?
TarantulaCandy How is he the same he’s not refusing to apologize he literally just explained how many times he had to address the situation and apologize on multiple occasions, he said it himself “I’m a changed man”!
Actually, most people are, especially once they get past thirty.
He is currently a Homophobic.
Forgot he is Kevin Hart after listening to him being serious. He jokes when he jokes & gets serious when he has to. Professional dude.
And cheats when he has to as well!
Jonathan Law very professional;
I think the Oscars need to apologise to Kevin Hart and the way they have dealt with this and treated him.
Leftists should apologize to trump as well.
@@thomaspayne6866 right....
Ok Calm Down. Trump is an entirely different subject
@@thomaspayne6866 well said🇺🇸👏👏
I agree.
Very soon people will have to star apologizing for things they said in kindergarten
Not funny. You have to apologize for things you say in the past to learn from them. You missed the point of this video.
LOL!!!! Don't give them any ideas!
@@Random-gu1ou No you don't. Especially if it's a joke. INTENT matters.
@@Random-gu1ou It is funny, because people like you don't believe in context and when that happens, you're demanding people to apologize for the most simplest non-offensive and sarcastic jokes. It's something people who grow up in a bubble never realized. It's like if you tripped on your shoe-lace and your friend was teasing you on how clumsy you are, he's not being offensive, he's just joking around. So unfortunate this one thing slips every snowflakes mind.
I stole a kids ninja turtle from his cubby in kindergarten. I'm sorry...
Ellen is such a good person and friend to let Kevin speak his truth on her show. You can tell she' really rooting for him and that she genuinely wants him to host the Oscars.
Would she take the same position if it was somebody she didnt know & like? Or someone not aligned to her ideology? The answer is no. Placating political correctness is poisonous...Its ok to make fun of groups of people. Groups dont get hurt....
He deserves the lost.
Absolutely
@ that's true
It all around as, look at peoples lives messed up due to rumours ,looks like you are guilty until Proven innocent and that's a dangerous path for society
We always want to hold people accountable, but never accept their growth and change. Proud of you Kevin.
Such a good point. And people are so quick to point out the negatives but not the positive.
Exactly! I don’t understand how people want people to change but can’t accept when people actually do mature
Exactly you couldn't have said it more better people in this generation want to bring you down when you grown so much and are doing better than them in some people's cases you can never do good there just is always somebody who let that happen
💯🙌🏾👏🏾.👏🏾.👏🏾
good point
Snowflakes and trolls are destroying this society.
Totally agree .
Thanks sorel
amen

@@54545flipperdipper you're the funniest
She is quiet when she can feel the sincerity of the person talking infront of her.
Tbh everybody is once immature and makes mistakes and I think we should just move on from that as he has addressed and apologised for it and because of something that happened a decade ago it should not take his dream away
Urfa Amber cough Logan Paul cough
we need an Ebola for snowflakes
James gunn
Lol comedians make fun of everything c mon
I've never joked about things that I knew would hurt people or joked about hitting a child.
I miss the time where people just laughed at jokes and moved on
Those were the simipler times...
movingonandup773 actually the only reason he received any controversy in the first place was due to his past jokes.
@movingonandup773 we got another smartass here
Totally agree, now everyone is ultra sensitive and entitled to get extra respect. In my time people get offended, forgive, get offended again, forgive again, laugh about it and carry on.
yea man, miss those times
Big respect to Ellen for not interrupting
Say what you will but she knows when to not talk in an interview
Kevin Hart is a really good person.
Ellen DeGeneres allowed him to speak and she did not interrupt him which would happen in every other show. Love you Ellen 😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍
A real conservation. Unlike most talk shows where the hosts interrupt to not be triggered. Good on Ellen.
It wasn't an interview - it was a monologue.
@@pyg9466 sometime take out the time and watch Arnab Goswami debate on UA-cam. You'll be able to see something amazing 😂.
Sadly, the future is looking dull, comedy won't be a thing anymore, because everyone will get their feelings hurt too easily. Laughter will be a thing of the past.
SwiftyVapor faxx ppl these days are so sensitive
Micah GOAT exactly. To me, racism, sexism... non of those should still exist in this generation. We are all equals, we should be able to joke about everything and not be able to take it out of context. We are all human. 99% of all human on earth are mixed. Just my thought.
Everyone gets offended by everything nowadays it’s sad
How's beating children remotely funny? Most comedians get by without encouraging child abuse...
@@JD-mi6eh Any subject can be funny in the right context. That's what you don't understand about comedy.
I've never heard him talk like this...i Only respect and love him more now..
I feel the same way. First time I’ve heard him talk so deeply
I agree, he is sharing a completely different side of himself..... 💪
Same
Read his book, or listen to him read his book on audible. I listened to it and have a new respect for Kevin
@@TYFYS-71 yea sure!
if you reward people for feeling they are offended, they will become more and more offended
for any reason.
Cesar Damasceno you nailed it
THIS! Don't mean to get personal but THIS STATEMENT RIGHT HERE!!! describes the issues I have ALWAYS had at jobs where white women (yes, I have to point out and it is about race and this will be a tough one to address on a bigger platform but it makes black women's lives hella hard) can always get easily offended and we get the blame to whatever extent that threatens our jobs and positions!
Amen
if you give a mouse a cookie...
Exactly my sentiments aswell. Kevin should just host and pretend nothing ever happend and never give in to social media pressure.
Kevin Hart should still host The Oscar's, he would have brought some spark back to it!
nah we're good.
there are better options, we good.
@@hobiwankenobi.666 like who?
The Oscars don't deserve him.

Hart's right. It would change the focus of the Oscars and kudos to him for having the intelligence and humility to recognize that. I think it's shows unselfishness I didn't expect to see.
It's amazing how fragile people have become. You can't even say boo because it'll offend ghosts.
Ha! Right 😂 ghost would be like - "hey, what you mean by that?"

I dont think anyone is even offended. The media just wanted a story. Host the Oscar's. The world knows you arent homophobic
I really think that someone that hates Kevin Hart dug those up and the media of course jumped on it. Sad.
No, people were definitely offended.
@FilmGamer you're a bit under-intelligent in my opinion
@FilmGamer tbh everyone is bro
It's the fake outrage on the internet epidemic. It's getting way too far now.
I’m more shocked that they allowed comments on this video. Some of their more controversial videos have comments disabled
Dylan Maes I don’t think it really is that controversial I think most people just think it’s wrong to rehash his past like that
yea, good thing they did
Also wondered the same😂😂
I think she only disables comments for non celebrities
Shut up. Just watch
we now live in a world where comedians need to apologize for jokes.....
Blade's Arcade this is the truest and saddest thing I’ve ever read
Blade's Arcade Freedom of speech and expression is sadly fading away due to the SJW's
Blade's Arcade well if people are offended, they should apologize. There’s nothing wrong with apologizing
@@mrkeo0801 Should !!! Really ? Welcome Totalitarianism. BTW, I'm offended about what you said, please APOLOGIZE !
Blade's Arcade he said himself that those jokes were homophobic. Like Louis C.K who joke about the children who were in a mass shooting. You have a million possible subjects to joke about and you choose these ones ? And the target of the joke are victims and not bullies ?
One thing you can tell from this video is that Ellen respects and admires Kevin Hart a whole lot.
always has. My dude.

glad you’re doing good
What exactly happened
I mean what did he do 10 years ago that people are attackin him with
Kevin really stayed true to himself, and that is the thing I admire the most.
I'm so glad almost all the comments on here support Kevin Hart. Rob Schneider talked about this on the news and how people are now scared to be comedians. You have to be able to poke fun at people and joke to be a comedian. And now everything is blown up and so many comedians are having their careers destroyed. And you have to be so politcally correct, or you can loose your entire career and be blacklisted. Even in this case from stuff that's 10 years old. Our country is getting close to the point of censorship and that's super scary. Rob said freedom of speech means freedom of speech not just speech that you like.
He has the freedom of using derogatory words towards LGBT community. Not a problem.
Other people also have the freedom of NOT supporting him.
kevin can make dad jokes if he wants to be politically correct
Coincidentally enough I stumbled on this video after watching the Rob Schnieder KTLA interview.
- comedians should be able to make any joke they want on stage
- anyone else should be able to criticize them for being as**oles during their private time, while not being on stage
@@Twigg4075 haha that's hilarious. I thought he made alot of good points. I usually don't post about topics like this cuz I don't like having all the arguments in my comments. This is the first time I've had this many comments on my post. Lol
He doesn’t need the Oscars, they need him. We all grow and change, people joke offensively behind close doors all the time. Humor isn’t reality, it stems from sarcasm.
SOUND he made mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, but there are consequences. No matter what you shouldn’t say those things.
"He doesn’t need the Oscars, they need him" it's Kevin Hart not fking Charlie Chaplin
Koro Sensei Chaplin is a skeleton by now
👏👏👏👏
@@lilycelia3949 he made no mistake
If people make fun of him cause he's a short guy, is it considered derogatory?
yes actually. haha
Pretty much. Its basically bigotry
And he can never change that about himself society is just full of hypocrites
Its the hypocrisy of liberals
@@99ue yes
His explanation and reason for stepping down was perfectly said. If we all applied for jobs and handed in a list of our past tweets, conversations or comments then I'm sure they'd be something to find that someone would be offended by. He's apologized, he knows the comment was wrong, and shouldn't have been so publicly scrutinized for a comment he already apologized for years ago. I'm a huge fan of Kevin Hart and hopes he gets an opportunity like this again in the future. Thank you Ellen for supporting him!
he only apologized this time after the backlash
James Kelly // This situation had already addressed yearsss ago. He’s already apologized about the tweets but they brought it back up AGAIN
Agreed! Well said!
@@youmadornahhh get your facts correct 😶
James Kelly someone didn’t watch the whole video!
What a perfect explanation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
People want the ignorant to change, yet refuse to forgive them when they do. They feed on negativity because it makes them feel powerful. People like that ultimately don't care if people change or not - the attack is simply a way to feel powerful.
Underated comment.
I agree and also here before this comment gets famous
True!
100000%
OMFG FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT.
A comedian who always makes a room rowdy made the room dead silent with full attention for whole couple of minutes. His words here are really valuable and meaningful.
What irony
I'm surprised that the comments section hasn't been disabled.
Caryn D Prescott your mother is disabled
If the video shows people in the audience then the comments section is disabled, but if it doesn't then it won't be
Caryn D Prescott she wanted us to speak out
Eat sleep rave repeat omg I never knew that
Caryn D Prescott right...
The guy is a comedian. Can we all be adults and learn how to distinguish between what's joke, facts and what people truly believe. If words hurt grow up because you have an ego problem.

Spot on. Some people are just out there to ruin other lives
I was only going to watch the Oscars for Kevin. Now I could care less about that show. This outrage culture is getting ridiculous
His biggest mistake is apologizing for it again. If people don't accept your first apology, then they don't deserve another. That said, this whole thing is ridiculous, for the reasons he explained here.
Well said, Butters! Well said
@@JoudanJanaiHa I read that in Cartman's voice...lol!
Not only did they want him to apologise AGAIN. They also wanted him to now be an advocate for a message that isn't his own. To me Kev been watering down his comedy for years chasing "mainstream" acceptance. I'm not mad at that, secure the bag bro. But do not allow yourself to be used as a puppet and held hostage. Good for you!
Kevin Hart got railroaded by the PC police... I'd be honored if some fellow concerned Americans who appreciate 80s/90s music would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
What I don't think Kevin Hart and others realize is that these witch hunts are carried out by a very vocal minority. Mainstream America gets it and doesn't hold a grudge. Kevin Hart should host, because 9/10 people don't care what he said ten years ago, especially if he already apologized.
@@noahheninger exactly
@@noahheninger It might be the voice of the minority but when every news outlet or journalist are talking about it, it doesn't really become as quiet as it should be and instead it's the only thing that people hear
@@xxrabbitsnipezxx5794 He needs to get out of his Hollywood bubble. The newsmedia has its own agenda and doesn't reflect the mindset of the people.
This is sadly what comes from a click-bait, algorithm driven world. Whatever offends the most people is what gets reported on, shared, and pushed through the online noise, regardless of whether it leaves out half the story. People will never escape their pasts like this, especially when we all get our kicks for shaming people for making mistakes.
He lied about apologizing in the past. He's being completely self indulgent.

Eloquently put 👍
I really appreciate the fact that Ellen was mature enough to invite him on the show even though what he said is the complete opposite to her opinions
MATURE

I feel really bad for him to be honest. I am a gay white male and I don't think he deserved all of this! The oscars lost a golden opportunity to have one of the best host and best ever years by letting him go!

He has already apologized. He should not apologize again. If anyone has a problem with this it is their problem - not his.
Yeah, he LIED and claimed to have apologized when he didn't, then gave the most non-apology apology ever. Good job, Kevin.
I am sure you are both wrong. I am sure of it. Call my opinion baseless, but it is about as baseless as yours.
@@thatguyedits1920 except it's less baseless. If their opinion is wrong you go out and you find the proof that he apologized. Otherwise they're both right unless baseless.
Even good people have ignorance. Instead of bashing people, let them learn from their mistakes and move forward. He should definitely host the Oscars
@K I don't think you understood my comment..but okay?
You are right but you should replace "let him learn" with "He has learned".
He hasn't learned anything, though. His apologies are all non-apologies (see the alleged apologies during the Get Hard promotions). He's sorry he faced consequences. He can move forward without hosting the oscars and use that to be a better person.
Try LGBT people know how to forgive, live, love, learn from their mistakes and move on. Most loving people I know. I highly doubt this is even coming from them. A bunch of haters doing this on behalf of LGBT which doesn't make any sense since they are all about love a unity.
The most silent I’ve ever heard Ellen’s audience be. Kev bro you did the right thing.
Starring John you didn’t the silence was because the audience couldn’t believe what they were hearing?
Alfred Chuah You need to grow the f**k up!
Kane Holson homophobic much
Ellen is TEACHING us how to FORGIVE !! I love her, THANK YOU. Stay the course Kevin, move forward !!!
lisa marie williams Dude has never actually apologized. He's full of BS and is being completely self indulgent here. A minute apology and some volunteer work for the LGBT community would go far further than these lies and self indulgences.
You must first show REAL sorrow before you can be forgiven. if he was insulting your mom you would want it to be real right ?
I don't know what happened, so can somebody tell me please?
We’re bringing this back up again? Let's move on!! Yall need to stop holding onto things, NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!
CHeck my channel! much love!!
Oscars made a huge mistake letting him go
heather jarrell what did he do?
He wasn't let go. He made the decision himself to step down because he didn't want the event to be associated with controversy.
He actually chose to step down, he wasn't let go
Lots of people aggree that kevin is not funny, his just loud and talk fast!
@@jojopimentel9402 and also lots of people agree that Kevin is funny and not just fast-talker. Yep, people have their own opinion. Live with that.
Appreciate Ellen for giving a stage to Kevin where he can be heard and understood!! We're all just human, we all make mistakes but that's how we learn.. Love to Ellen and Kevin
To know that there's people who spend all their time scrolling back 10 years of tweets just to try and get attention brought to themselves by bringing up those meaninglessness tweets again is just completely sad. And the fact that so many acknowledged it when these people do that is just so wrong. I mean these people took away one of this man's dreams and brought a whole lot of negativity to his name just for a few days of attention. Honestly people like that should be fined for harrassment because thats what it is.
Yep. They are sick.
They are narcissistic egomaniacs. They are miserable inside.
Payne Hoss, I was wondering about that! Who the heck has that time??
His jokes that were funny ten years ago are still funny today. What has changed is that people, today, mistake humor for aggression.
I'm pretty sure its less about people trying to get attention and more about tabloids trying to get attention to get clicks to get rich, also I think Kevin Hart could sue the people who wrote those articles if he accuses them of character assassination.
Actually, pretty much since those tweets came out, people have been asking him to address them - in junkets, press conferences, etc. and he never directly has, or has been dismissive. So it didn't come out of the blue to a lot of people but was moreso that after 10 years, he finally had to address them because now they had more traction in the media after the hosting decision.
Ellen believes in second chances and even when something like this is said she still forgives and treats people with the same value and respect. Thats a good Human.
I hope Kev doesn’t do it. Shouldn’t have to keep apologizing for this.
King Ro also Oscars loosing views every years good luck cutting the tree they sitting on.
Should have never apologised for a joke in the first place, He gave them an inch and they tried to make him into a tool for it.
Yeah no he doesn't because Kevin hart isn't even homophobic
This country is so Gotdamn sensitive and hiprocritical it's a shame Let that man Live....
Sensitive ain't even the word anymore. Well beyond that.
Adam Hogan newsflash the internet is available across the world
Come to Pakistan will show you real alpha males
I already like Kevin Heart as a person, but his words on the Ellen show just gave me a whole new found respect for this man. Thank you keep representing who you are
Agree! He acknowledged the issue and has made steps to not make such remarks and he’s right- let’s move on. How long and how many times must be apologize? Either he’s accepted or not. We all make mistakes some bigger than others and this is def something everyone needs to and can move on from.
He didn't make a mistake tho it was a joke people are acting like they caught him on a secret recording saying those things which would be homophobic and completely different
What had happened actually??
This dude is Bigger than all those awards We are with you Kevin 😎 !
THE ENTERTAINER TRA Barely bigger but still bigger.
I love this dude! I hope he hosts the Oscars
The Oscars don`t deserve him. I hope he does not accept. Someone must draw a line with this witch hunt.
I like him too but I hope he doesn't host oscar
He should never do the Oscars all this stuff is about power

He never actually made those tweets. There are no records of it anywhere. Change my mind.
Ryan Sikhira LGBTQ comm. members aren’t catch words for comedy!
I love how ellen let him talk and she did not interrupt. One Love.
He made the right choice to step down and not host the oscars. Because whatever jokes be thrown that night, all those trolls will definitely nit pick word by word and try to make it negative. And I agree when he said that the night is for the amazing actors. He doesn’t need to bring the drama in the ceremony.
But he was going to host, if you watch here you will hear Kevin saying that the only reason he stepped down was because the Oscars people told him to make an apology again.
He said apologize and step down because he didy wanna bring drama to the oscars when its supposed to be about new actors
Kevin Hart is what the oscars needed to bring light to it
The didn't have his back when it counted. They don't deserve his light.
I was seriously so excited for Kevin to host... I was absolutely gutted when he stepped down for something that he ALREADY APOLOGISED FOR. It's just... It's not fair
It’s just the media looking for a story, and trying to ruin a life of someone else. He doesn’t deserve to be talked about like that when hundreds of comedians say the same stuff even today. He’s not homophobic. He just wanted to host the oscars, and because they wanted him to apologize for something he already had countless times. Made him not want to host. That’s a big thing to turn down just because he wants to.
@AKN _1 couldn't agree more
Kevin don't apologize anymore!
I’m just confused I thought the reason we have pride and have LGBT representation on tv and movies was to help spread change and acceptance of the LGBT community. I thought the goal was someone like Kevin Hart who made ignorant comments and had ignorant beliefs but now ten years later has changed and is a more opened minded person. Sometimes we are so focused on being hurt and angry we are blinded by the progress society has made in the last 10 years. It’s thanks to people like Ellen that people are different today just like Kevin Hart. You do a disservice to the LGBT community by not forgiving the mistakes of the past and not allowing love to be spread in the future.
Their goal is to silence everyone
The goal is to make mental retardation common.
Piper....well said...thanks for being reasonable...
Piper, right on. Thanks for putting things into perspective and seeing the big picture.
These replies have me weak 😂
The Oscars are losing views every year. How wants to see a bunch of privileged people telling us what to do and see win not the best movies but the most pc ones..
lol...
You people really do live in delusion with your obsession of “political correctness.” It’s called common decency, your privilege is showing.
@@MidnightExcella no political correctness and common decency are two different things. Look at the dictionary. We all know that black panther will win something because it's extremely pc, decency has nothing to do with it. It was an ok movie but my God if it is overrated.
Paul and that is your opinion....last I checked opinions from strangers on the internet don’t dictate the oscars.
The Oscars doesn't validate classic films...the movies with the most replay value hasn't won anything...long n boring movies no one heard of where nothing happens usually dominates the Oscars...lol...
Bravo Kevin Hart!!! I just gained a whole new respect for him.
What he said about himself, what he didn't want to do, to take attention from himself... That's the opposite of what Will Smith did...
Kevin is an amazing person!! You can tell he is sorry but like he said it's in the past and we shouldn't focus on something he said 10 years ago. I love Ellen even more for allowing kevin to speak and for supporting him. I'm from Australia so the oscars aren't a huge deal here but I know that they are big deal in America so I hope Kevin gets to host them.
Nah, he's not. He is a liar and probably the biggest bullshitter I've ever seen in the industry. He claimed to have apologized years ago when he didn’t, then he refused to apologize for days, finally decided to "apologize" (a total non-apology fyi) and now he’s trying to make himself the victim. It’s not cute. He acted like everyone was taking immature humor out of the context as him growing up and doing better. Now he’s basically throwing a tantrum that he’s not getting a pass. And let's not forget about how he cheated on his first wife with a younger woman and basically excused it as "we were young and we both deserved better, I would never cheat on my beautiful, loving wife today" as he was cheating on her with another younger woman. I don't believe a word he says.
@@corsariocapitao We hear you Ms. Perfect. 👌
He made the right choice. One apology is enough.
Unfortunately, he apologized again.
He's never actually apologized. That's the issue. Seriously, go and try and find an actual apology.
@@JD-mi6eh He literally mentioned multiple apologies in this video. At 5:08 a more current apology is shown. He doesn't go into extreme detail in the current one because he's already apologized.
What did he do?
Adam Kamer Use the internet - find an actual appolgy. Dude's full of BS.
Who watches the Oscars anymore anyways?
Right lol
a couple million
i do (greeting from Perú)
Still the best award ever... the tension in the room is alluring.
@@jordsjek Dying every year.
“You can’t grow as a person without mistakes.” YES YES YES. people aren’t just born perfect or problematic. Everyone makes mistakes and what matters is how you handle those mistakes!!!
We all make mistakes when we are young we are uneducated and ignorant sometimes, we grow we learn and we become better humans
Kim Smith Most adults don't lie about all of the so called apologies they're made. Adults take responsibility for their actions.
ADULTS take responsibility for their actions
J D he doesn’t need to apologize. Just like you don’t need to apologize for criticizing someone someone you’ve never met hypocrite.
@@TiredAmerican247i think J D was talking about him lying about apologizing in the past
First time I have kept a straight face while listening to Kevin....And I think he is the right man to host Oscars.....
Sai I hope he doesn’t. They don’t deserve good laughs from him. Find someone else
Kevin Spacey should host the Oscars
Right. The man that lies and lies and lies should host the Oscars.
Kevin don't host the oscars to save their asses!!!! They had NO RESPECT for you or your feelings and now they are hurting. No love lost, but go the other way. Smart entertainers like Oprah and Seinfield have turned down the opportunity because it wouldn't be a good look. And Seth McFarlane said it wasn't worth it. Always keep your integrity!!!
The reason they haven't got someone else to host, Is be cause NO ONE WANTS TO BE THE SECOND CHOICE, knowing everyone who is watching knows your just a stand in. It's all about ratings, Lots of Media coverage on Keven, Lots of people will watch this only because of the media coverage around Keven. I stand along side of Keven. They tried to destroy you, now they want you only as to say see we can control you , even when you did nothing wrong.
you are clueless.
honestly if kevin people don't believe that kevin understands that what he said was hurtful, they don't know what life is like as a 5'2 black man in america. I mean that's one of the tougher hands to be dealt in life, im sure the brother knows the impact of prejudice.
Now imagine a black trans woman in a white/lighter skinned country where transidentity is punished by death.
@@vieuxchene4782 so?
We live in a different time period now. For example, the Office was around and they used far worse derogatory words... 10 years ago, we weren’t so strict with our slang and words of homophobia.
What kinda slang did The Office use? Assuming you mean the US version.
The whole Diversity Training episode
lauren rossi homophobia doesn’t exist
@@Arabianturk-hr1ov homophobia is super real, look at history and statistics and widespread testimony.
Don’t forget about seinfield and the things that popped up now and blame it for a lot of things as well and that show came out years ago
When they told him to apologize again, Kevin was like “nigahhhhhhhhhh, help me... help me”
*Kevin Hart voice (if you know the joke, you’ll get this”
.lol
Love it haha
Nobody can find Kevin’s first apology because it never happened
Javan uHnah He just gave the sources of when he apologized that you can look for. So what are you even talking about?
@@ezmart878 - don't even bother trying to inform this nitwit. Javan uHnah is just a mindless sjw looking for more reasons to be perpetually offended!
Wow. this was so much more than an interview about the oscars. I felt such a connection to this message on a personal level.
Kevin- I’ll be the first to admit that I judged you on some of your past mistakes but I am now humbled by the words you spoke. You are absolutely right, WE ARE NOT PERFECT. And we should all take a step back and remember that daily. I hope that you continue to live life with this mindset and find peace knowing that we understand you and we hear you and we support you. From one imperfect human to another ❤️
Love what he said. "You can't grow without making mistakes." He made a mistake and learned from it. The issue is people want to keep holding onto the person he was and not who he is now. Which sucks.
People just need to feel like they're standing above others. Their goal was never to get an apology from Kevin, accept his apology, and move on to a better future. Their goal has always been to make an example out of him, and hold him to his mistake, regardless of what he says to apologize
Lol. Bunch a pansies who need multiple apologies for a joke. Its sad to see how weak and "offended" people get. Keep up the good work Kevin.
I agree
Right. The LGBT community is not above jokes & criticism. The rest of society CANNOT give in to their temper tantrums.
We will abandon Oscars if they don't apologize to him and ask him back, we will not watch and participate in Oscars.
Most people I know, myself included, don't watch the Oscars anyway. Too preachy, pretentious, full of virtue signaling and overrated films.
I never have watched the Oscars in my life... but the way they took a stand on this homophobic kevin Hart scumbag... I'm going to watch every year now now... great job Oscars
You gonna abandon the Oscars? How they must be weeping in their long, black limousines.
He definitely has a way with his words, everything he said flowed so beautifully, and every word delivered insight and understanding. He’s a man of respect for sure.
intelligence
comedians should never apologize for jokes.
