Hart to Heart

I wasn't familiar with kevin Hart until I ran into this interview show. I think he is really good at listening and pulling out stories from his guests. He is an interested interviewer, because he is interviewing his friends and hero's. How cool for him and for us. I enjoy his personal input too, making it a two way conversation. It is funny too, the way many of the guests clearly respect him but love to tease him. I also like the way he is humble about what he doesn't know and all about building people up and learning from them. He is very experienced and knowledgeable about business, and the entertainment industry. I hope this show continues for a long time. I've now seen one of his stand up comedy routines and plan to explore his other performances.

Have only watched 1 episode and it was the one with Bryan Cranston. It's good, but you need to go into this series as them having a conversation vs an interview. I think I learned more about Kevin Hart than Bryan Cranston. Will definitely continue watching, and hope to learn more about the upcoming guests than the host himself. Kevin is a genuine person though and I loved his sincerity in his conversations.

In the beginning of the Hart/MacFarlane interview, Hart makes a point to say he is here to make the guest comfortable. He then proceeds to interrupt Seth constantly. Hart comes off aggressive. He was incredibly rude to his guest.

I've watched a few of his interviews prior to this. He has no ability to conduct a smooth interview. He needs to shut up and let people talk. Watching this interview was painful and I feel bad for Seth.

If only Kevin Hart aspired to be a good host as much as he aspires to keep his name out there at any cost... This is just another unambitious talk show that feels tired and uninspired. I sense that very little preparation went into this and maybe Hart isn't one to listen to the advice of people who KNOW what makes talk shows work. And in the end, this will likely not succeed and he will blame it on 'too many chefts in the kitchen. But that's really not what the problem is.

It's just not a good show.

The show is supposed to be an open dialogue but Kevin has a habit of cutting his guests off when they're trying to speak. He asks good questions but he doesn't allow them to completely finish before he asks something else. He also did this when he himself was a guest on Lebron's show, "The Shop: Uninterrupted". I think once he stops taking over the entire interview, the show will be much better as it has potential to be much greater! I'll keep watching it for sure.
