Kevin Hart Tapped to Host MTV VMAs – Hilarious Video

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The 2012 VMAs are just a few weeks away, and who better to lead us boldly, fearlessly and inappropriately into the world’s finest (if we may!) music award show than comedian Kevin Hart? If for some reason news of Kevin’s VMA hosting gig isn’t enough to make you choke on your burger (but in the good, tasty way), then let us direct you to this UNREAL video of Kevin trying out some bits on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who just aren’t having it. Like, not even a tiny bit. In fact, imagine the “Mercy” rapper and 2012 VMA nominee making THIS FACE, but eight or nine times better, and forever.

We won’t spoil it, but basically Kevin runs all up in Kanye and Kim’s life and tries to turn their duo into a three-way relay. (We won’t even get started on the comedic irony and 50 shades of wrong that is a black man suggesting another black man and an Armenian woman name themselves “KKK.”) Somewhat understandably, Kevin attempts to color-coordinate outfits (as Kimye does) and then rename them Kevkimkey? Kevyekim? Yekimkev? Does it matter? All we know is that there are WAY more jokes where those came from, and that Kevin Hart is the man responsible for getting us IRL footage of Kim and Kanye on the same bed, and for that we are forever grateful.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
