Kevin Hart ‘Laugh Out Loud’ Network Launches Next Month; Check Out His New Show!
Kevin Hart’s long-anticipated comedy network, Laugh Out Loud, finally has an official launch date: August 3rd. In anticipation of that debut, the folks at LOL have released the first episode of Kevin Hart: Lyft Legend, one of the network’s launch titles. In the new weekly series, Hart will play geriatric Lyft driver Donald Mac as he weirds out his customers and takes them on wild rides. The episode is currently available on the LOL network’s Facebook page, and will be moved to the network’s official site on July 17th. The second episode will be released through LOL’s Facebook page as well.
Hart has been recruiting content creators at Just For Laughs and beyond since last year, which is how the LOL show Campus Law came to be. In addition to digital creators like King Bach and GloZell, Hart has convinced names like Snoop Dogg and comedian Jo Koy to come aboard.
“Funny has no color or gender. With our friends at Lionsgate, we are creating a global network that gives a platform to the next generation of diverse comedians from all over the world, of all ethnicities, to tell their stories,” says Hart of the network. “Our culture of comedy is unfiltered and inclusive. Most importantly, we exist to make the world laugh.”
Here are some of the other shows that will be featured on LOL at launch:
