In time for the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament Championship Game, ESPN2 will debut “NBA Unplugged with Kevin Hart” on December 9th. In partnership with Hartbeat and Omaha Productions, ESPN brings an innovative alternate presentation starring the iconic comedian and actor, Kevin Hart. Joining Hart will also be the Plastic Cup Boyz, Joey Wells, Will Horton, and Na’im Lynn.
The show intends to capture the authentic way Kevin Hart and his friends watch the NBA with comedic banter, lively discussions, and debates. The show will also incorporate special guest appearances from top athletes and celebrities.
Accompanying the linear broadcast on ABC, “Unplugged with Kevin Hart” is set for seven episodes throughout the IST and the regular season. This unique partnership marks Hartbeat’s ongoing investment into delivering audiences impactful content that unites the worlds of comedy, sports, and culture.
This partnership aligns with Omaha Productions’ vision to uplift and unify through content, including the two-time Emmy-winning “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” on ESPN and Netflix’s hit show “Quarterback”.
More dates will be announced as the season continues. All Unplugged with Kevin Hart telecasts will also be available on the ESPN App.
