Comedian Kevin Hart sits down with Oprah Winfrey for an all new episode of Oprah Prime [the new name for Oprah’s Next Chapter] on Sunday.
With over 11 million Twitter followers, Hart opened up to the queen of talk about the importance of his personal connection to his fans through social media.
“Social media is everything for me,” Hart told Oprah. “I mean in our generation in today’s time being able to talk back and forth with your fans goes a long way. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Vine, these things are all tools that I don’t — I don’t like to say that — the actors before me, but, the older actors, you know, the Denzels, your Will Smiths, they’re not social media savvy because they didn’t have to back then. There was a talk show. Campaign. And then that was it.”
Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Hart comes on the heels of his box-office hits, About Last Night and Ride Along, and recent NAACP Image Award for “Entertainer of the Year.”
Hart talks about his comedic influences as he matured in the entertainment industry. And he opens up about raising his children with his ex-wife, the support his mother gave him when he was first starting out and how he learned to forgive his father.
Tune into Oprah Prime Sunday at 9/8c on OWN.
