You heard it here first—the 2025 BET Awards are gonna have plenty of Hart.
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart will be hosting the 25th edition of Culture’s Biggest Night, set to premiere live from Los Angeles on June 9 at 8 p.m. ET. And the Jumanji star is taking his involvement in the BET Awards to the next level by headlining an all-new spot produced by his eponymous Hartbeat media company.
The minute-long promo—which was written by Rashida Olayiwola and directed by Michael Daniel and Lachlan McClellan—features Hart preparing for his own big night by revisiting some of 2024’s most notable moments in Black culture, including Rihanna’s taste in soccer mom snacks and Jennifer Hudson’s extremely viral spirit tunnel.
