Hart to Heart

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
