YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME. OKAY. WE HAVE GOT TO TAKE A BREAK,
PLEASE DON'T G YOU DON'T GO, RIGHT BACK WITH MORE KEVIN HART,
EVERYBODY. STICK AROUND.
Ehh. I don't really see the cringe. Colbert did press him a little. But he let Hart give his defense and left it at that. Then they moved on to a lighter segment. Seemed fine to me.
Colbert is pathetic.
He's so fucking biased and it's like he's not "allowed" to laugh at anything realistic.
This reminds me of Colbert's Bill Burr interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L8GLCYKaTI
The guest is completely fine with who they are, and what they're saying. Colbert is completely off-key and out of touch -- almost like he's being forced. I'm not even a Kevin Hart fan but I completely side with him in this instance.
I mean you could just put Kevin Hart anywhere and it becomes cringey.
I don't even know what Kevin Hart was meant to apologise about, but he seemed to make his point. What an awkward interview.
Anyone can give some context to this?
