Kevin Hart appears to be coming to terms with the series of insults he recently received from another comedian Katt Williams in the process.
During a Friday episode of his new NBA-focused ESPN series, “NBA Unplugged with Kevin Hart,” the “Night School” actor made several jokes about Williams' recent explosive appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
Hart, who commentated Friday's New York Knicks-Philadelphia 76ers game with his co-hosts, mocked Williams' numerous claims about “Club Shay Shay” by mockingly stating a number of “fun” facts scandalous (and false). about the 'Friday After Next' actor.
“Another fun fact about the New York Knicks… Katt Willams bought the Knicks,” he said. said at one point during the show. “Rumor has it he took the Knicks back and returned them with a receipt.”
He said at another point: “Famously, Katt Williams has an NBA basketball court in his living room…he's the first to adopt real hardwood flooring.” »
In another segment of Friday's episode, Hart called Williams' interview “bullshit.” He then mocked a portion of the episode “Club Shay Shay,” in which host Shannon Sharpe appeared to say that Williams told her he was accepted into a university at 7 years old.
“You lost me because you got a college offer when you were 7,” Hart said. during his show with a laugh.
“There are some things I can’t get over,” he later added. “I have two words for the world: check the facts.”
Hart then called Williams' viral interview a “circus” after sports analyst and retired NBA player Kendrick Perkins teased him about not retaliating against Williams after the premiere of his podcast appearance.
“Are you entertaining a circus or watching it, Perk?” Deer asked, laughing uncontrollably.. “What are you doing? You look at him. You say, 'Dude, look at that lion riding a bike.'
Williams became an Internet sensation this week after hurling several insults and accusations directed at a slew of celebrities and other comedians, including Hart, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey and Rickey Smiley.
Among his many slights, he accused Hart of being an “industrial factory” who took shortcuts to achieve such success in his comedy career.
“In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood can remember going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show. There's a line for him, he always gets a standing ovation at any venue. what a comedy club,” Williams said on the podcast. “He already had his stuff when he got here.”
Williams and Hart have had public conflicts before.
During an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” In 2018, Hart criticized Williams for attacking the comedic abilities of her longtime friend and collaborator, comedian Tiffany Haddish.
He also accused Williams of failing to show up for work due to being under the influence of drugs. Williams strongly denied these claims about the “Shay Shay Club”, at one point he stated that he had never used a “hard drug” in his life.
Hart initially responded to Williams' appearance at “Club Shay Shay” on Thursday, writing on X (formerly Twitter) that his remarks were “honestly sad.”
