    AceShowbiz – Kevin Hart has stepped up to replace late comedy legend Jerry Lewis as the host of the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon.
    Lewis fronted the big variety and fundraising show from Las Vegas over America’s Labor Day weekend for more than four decades, helping to raise more than $2 billion for the cause.
    “This is an incredible opportunity to bring the work of Jerry Lewis and the Muscular Dystrophy Association forward,” Hart said in a statement.

    Lewis hosted his last MDA telethon in 2010 and the event was subsequently scrapped as officials at the charity insisted the format was no longer relevant.
    It has since been scaled down to a two-hour show, set to take place on 24 October.

      The ‘Get Hard’ movie surprises a coronavirus frontliner with a role in his new movie and reveals the doctor will also get a full star treatment on the set.
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kevin Hart surprised a doctor battling the coronavirus on the frontline with the prize of a lifetime – a role in his next movie.
      Kevin offered the reward as part of the All In Challenge – for which a host of stars have offered up incredible prizes to those who donate $10 or more to help those going hungry during the Covid-19 pandemic.
      Anaesthesiologist Henry Law from New Jersey won the role in the draw and Kevin jumped on a video call to offer him the speaking part in his next film in person.
      The comedian, who shared a video of the encounter on Instagram, told the bewildered doctor that in addition to the speaking part he would get full star treatment, including a stay in a five star hotel and his own trailer and assistant on set.
      The “Get Hard” star added, “Look, this makes us friends, man. I’m glad that you won, I couldn’t have asked for a better winner. You look like the part that you are about to get.”

      Henry said he was “so excited” to work on the film and meet Hart and explained how before entering he had found it “heartbreaking” seeing patients battle the virus in hospital and millions of Americans lose their jobs due to the economic damage caused by the pandemic.

      Kevin Hart Throws Playful Jab at Dwayne Johnson Over Filming of Action Scenes

      The ‘Ride Along’ star suggests that his ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ co-star is coward, unlike him and other notorious action film stars like Tom Cruise who have dangerous stunts in their movies.
      Mar 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kevin Hart is throwing another playful jab at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. When sharing a behind-the-scene look at his preparation to film action scenes for his upcoming Quibi series “Die Hart”, the stand-up-comedian-turned-actor mocked his “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” co-star by calling him a “pu**y”.
      The one-minute clip posted on Instagram began with the 40-year-old listening to Eric Appel’s direction on how the stunt will go. Standing close behind him was his stunt double Samuel Jaye Paul. “You know, the only people that they task with stunts like this are the real deal. Me, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford… that’s just to name a few,” he then bragged. “The rest of those guys are pu**ies.”
      Not stopping there, the “Ride Along” actor went on to name the retired WWE wrestler-turned-action man. “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. If they only knew, right? What a b***h,” he said as Appel and Paul went along with his mockery. He titled the video post, “Life of an ‘Action Star’ “, with a note that read, “Stunt work on the set of my ‘Die Hart’ series.”

      Many were not surprised by Hart’s jab at Johnson. “Why I knew he was talking bout the Rock,” one wrote back, while another admitted, “I knew u were gona mention Dwayne. Hahaha.” Others were excited to see the two stars’ banter with one writing, “Just waiting for the Rock’s reply.” One in particular, however, could not help but notice at the height difference between Hart and his double. “You’d think they could have found a child actor to get the height correct,” the fan quipped.
      This was not the first time Hart has made fun of his co-star and best friend. Last Halloween, he recreated Johnson’s throwback picture. “This s**t makes me laugh. #NailedIt #HappyHalloween #PeepTheNapkinUnderMyElbow,” he captioned the side-by-side images of the them donning matching outfits while their arms resting on the railing.
      To the playful post, Johnson responded, “You’re an a**hole. But I still love you. And I’m still laughing #brotherlylove #happyhalloween.”
