Ellen DeGeneres calls Academy on Kevin Hart's behalf, urges him to host the Oscars

Comedians discuss ongoing controversy in new clips from show

One month ago, Kevin Hart stepped down as the host of the Academy Awards after his old homophobic tweets and jokes surfaced online. At the time, Hart positioned himself as the victim, claiming that he's changed, but 48 hours after he'd been announced as the Oscars host, he reluctantly resigned from the job.Now, eight weeks away from the award show, the Oscars still have no host, and Hart is attempting to make his comeback. On Thursday afternoon, he taped a lengthy interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which was originally scheduled to air Monday. However, DeGeneres deemed it too important and decided to release the clips early.The conversation began with Hart explaining his side. He told DeGeneres he chose to step down as the host because he didn't want the Oscars to be about him and his tweets. "I know I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have a homophobic bone in my body," he said. "I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want to have this conversation anymore, because I know who I am. I바카라 게임 웹사이트m not that guy.바카라 게임 웹사이트And DeGeneres agreed, telling him, 바카라 게임 웹사이트I know you바카라 게임 웹사이트re not that guy, because I know you."DeGeneres went on to add that she called the Academy on Hart's behalf and asked for him to be reinstated as the host of the Oscars."I called them, I said, 'Kevin바카라 게임 웹사이트s on, I have no idea if he wants to come back and host, but what are your thoughts?' And they were like, 'Oh my God, we want him to host! We feel like that maybe he misunderstood or it was handled wrong. Maybe we said the wrong thing but we want him to host. Whatever we can do we would be thrilled. And he should host the Oscars.'"She continued:"As a gay person. I am sensitive to all of that. You바카라 게임 웹사이트ve already expressed that it's not being educated on the subject, not realizing how dangerous those words are, not realizing how many kids are killed for being gay or beaten up every day 바카라 게임 웹사이트 You have grown. You have apologized. You are apologizing again right now. You바카라 게임 웹사이트ve done it. Don바카라 게임 웹사이트t let those people win 바카라 게임 웹사이트 host the Oscars."Then DeGeneres told Hart that there are a lot of "haters out there on the internet," and he can't let them destroy him.Since the clips appeared online Thursday night, both Hart and DeGeneres have received some backlash for the conversation 바카라 게임 웹사이트 specifically for characterizing those in the LGBTQ community hurt by Hart's words as "haters."At this point, it's unclear if the Academy has offered Hart the hosting job back, or if he's accepted it.
