Ellen DeGeneres show teaser sees Kevin Hart clearing air over Oscar controversy

Washington: Ellen DeGeneres has dropped a teaser of her show where American comedian Kevin Hart is seen clearing the air regarding the Oscars hosting controversy.
Ellen DeGeneres took to her official Twitter handle to share the most awaited interview with Kevin, releasing on Friday on U.S. television. In the teaser, Kevin claimed that one of the most amazing things that he could ever ask for was hosting the Academy Awards again.
The host claimed that she herself asked The Academy if they would consider reinstating Kevin as host, “We want him to host, whatever we can do, we would be thrilled, and he should host,” Ellen said of the response she got from The Academy.
Addressing the past, the comedian said “I don’t have a homophobic bone in my body. I know that I’ve addressed it. I know that I’ve apologised.” He further added, “I’ve taken 10 years to put my apology to work, I’ve yet to go back to that version of the immature comedian that once was. I’ve moved on. I’m a grown man. I’m cultured,” “At life through a different lens and because of that I live in a different way,” Hart said.
