Kevin Hart Signs New 10 Yr Deal With SiriusXM, Rebranded Show Airs

LA – With SiriusXM, Kevin Hart will remain frank in his comedy. But this time, he’ll gather more well-known actors from fields other than comedy.

On Wednesday, the satellite radio provider revealed that it had reached a multi-year agreement with Hart and his entertainment business, Heartbeat. As part of the agreement, the renowned actor-comedian will keep curating comedy and culture-related content for his Laugh Out Loud Radio station.

In a recent interview, Hart declared, “At the end of the day, this is a terrific alliance. “The real victories come when you put yourself in a position to build alliances that will endure and expand. You are witnessing a developing, healthy connection headed in the correct direction. This is one instance where the hard effort put into expanding the station and the platform is finally beginning to pay off.

The renamed podcast “Gold Minds with Kevin Hart,” which Hart will host, will debut its new season on SiriusXM on Wednesday. On his show, he’ll continue to occasionally feature comedians, but he’ll also have more discussions with famous people, such as Emmy winner Jason Bateman, “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler, actor-rapper Method Man, director Neil Burger, and journalists Anderson Cooper and Stephen A. Smith.

Hart will discuss his professional journey, collaborating with Michael B. Jordan and getting advice from Denzel Washington, Forrest Whitaker, Sylvester Stallone, and Christopher Nolan with Coogler in the “Gold Minds” premiere.

Hart claimed he was driven to rename “Gold Minds” because he wanted to reach a “bigger pool of people with compelling tales” besides comics.

“I’m moving on to business owners, influential people in business, TV personalities, incredible actors, actresses, and directors. It’s growing,” he declared. “There are many individuals who need to be reached, but there aren’t many who can reach them effectively and take action once they’ve been reached. I’m one of the few with this opportunity and utilizing it. I want everyone to find these real chats enjoyable.

The host duo of “Love Thang with Punkie Johnson” and “One Song with Diallo and Luxxury” from HBO Max’s “South Side” and music producer Blake “Luxxury” Robin will create the new series for Heartbeat. The late comedian Bernie Mac’s first-ever solo standup special will only be broadcast on his channel.

The sixth season of Nathaniel’s “Earthquake” Stroman’s comedy program “Quake’s Home” will air on Hart’s channel.

Hart will continue to host “Straight From The Hart” alongside The Plastic Cup Boys, including Joey Wells, Will “Spank” Horton, and Na’im Lynn.

Hart had at least a ten-year partnership in mind when he inked his first contract with SiriusXM in 2018

The president and chief content officer of SiriusXM, Scott Greenstein, said, “Kevin has become a cornerstone of SiriusXM’s comedy programming, and we’re incredibly happy to strengthen our connection with Kevin and the entire Hartbeat team. “Our audience has responded,” they say, “proving that they have a pulse on the new, interesting, and varied voices in comedy.”

Hart had at least a ten-year partnership in mind when he inked his first contract with SiriusXM in 2018, where he could take a “major stand” and forge his own “form of identity.”

“I ask myself, ‘How can I do the same?’ when I consider what Howard Stern has accomplished during his career and how he transformed into an unbelievable thing. How do I do the same?” said Hart.

You must be willing to invest time if you want to succeed. This is a three-year strategy rather than a two-year one. Knowing what it will take to go where you want to go, this is a 10-year commitment overall. This was carefully thought out. I’m making every effort to carry it out.
