Kevin Hart is capping off a remarkable few days with a wave of announcements, appearances, and plenty of buzz in the entertainment world. The most headline-grabbing development is that Hart has been confirmed as the host for the 2025 BET Awards, celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he will take the stage on June 9 live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, promising a black-tie affair and stating he’s genuinely “honored to host” and excited to “celebrate the culture’s biggest night.” This hosting gig is significant in Hart’s career, as it marks another prime-time, high-visibility milestone in his ongoing relationship with BET and positions him at the heart of one of the year’s highest-profile cultural celebrations.

Alongside his award show hosting duties, Hart’s business and creative output remains relentless. BET+ just dropped news that Lil Kev, an animated series based on Kevin’s own childhood in 1993 Philadelphia, will premiere as the network’s first original animated series, marking a major creative step for Hart. Notably, his production company Hartbeat continues to cement his behind-the-scenes status in Hollywood, with new executive hires and expanded development slates reported by FandomWire.

Hart’s global comedy footprint is also expanding in real-time. He is set to make his India debut with a one-night-only performance in Mumbai on September 21, as shared on his official Instagram. Minutes after that announcement, news broke that Hart is lined up for the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, adding more international flair to his already-packed tour schedule. His presence on social media remains lively and motivational, as his Instagram reels stress grit over glamour – he candidly shares how he performed to empty rooms for years, an origin story that new business founders and artists have been quoting lately.

Recently, Hart also made a pop culture splash on CBS’ 60 Minutes, finally settling the mystery of his actual height. Joking with Anderson Cooper, Hart clarified the decades-long debate, confirming he stands “five foot five with a shoe on,” playfully dismissing persistent rumors and maintaining his trademark self-deprecating humor, as echoed by The Hollywood Reporter.

On the sports and celebrity circuit, Kevin made a buzzy guest appearance at the 2025 Fanatics Fest NYC, where he hosted Tom Brady for his series Cold As Balls. TMZ and Just Jared reported that the taping was energetic, with Brady competing in ice-cold challenges and ultimately winning the inaugural Fanatics Games. The episode captured a playful chemistry between the comic and sports legend and drew significant online engagement.

Across TV, business leadership, international stand-up, and major event hosting, Kevin Hart’s public diary over the last few days paints the picture of a megastar whose influence and reach are only growing. No credible reports of controversy or negative press have emerged in this period, and all indications from trade coverage and his own social feeds point to a well-orchestrated run of triumphs and headline moments.
