Hart to Heart

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.

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.

Granted, I've only watched two episodes (the one with Jay-Z was my first episode) so far. These were both season two episodes so perhaps he has settled in a little more into his role in comparison to the first season, I dunno. What I like though, is that he asks some really great questions and doesn't always take the easy way out. That Jay-Z episode had a ton of great nuggets in it, so much so that I rewound the last maybe 5-10 minutes and re-listened to it twice.

I'm here for this show as long as Kevin continues to extract the info the audience needs while also allowing his guest to shine. He's a little rough around the edges at times but ultimately he's got a great show on his hands that I hope continues for several more seasons.

I'm editing my review: Watching the episode with Iron Mike and Kevin will not stop talking about himself. Damn dog. Just take a breath and hush for a minute. Kevin has excellent guests but he needs to learn to pull back a bit.

Emabarassing. Kevin Hart doesn't come across well in this at all. Embarrassing.

I enjoyed listening to all the guests and their stories of getting into and being in the business; but aside from all that some interesting facts about totally different subjects can come up just through general conversation. I especially enjoyed the episode with Taraji, where she mentioned a historical fact about "normalized" Hush Pupppies; this was something interesting and educational to me.
