Kevin Hart, fresh from Oscars controversy, stars in Chase ads


Kevin Hart won’t be hosting the Oscars this year, but he will be hosting a series of Chase commercials. The actor and comedian is partnering with the bank on a series of events, workshops and video spots to promote financial fitness and the Chase Freedom Unlimited credit card. It’s a multi-year deal.

She noted that Hart’s interest in physical fitness is an asset for events like the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge annual race, which is expanding.

Hart had been scheduled to host the 91st Academy Awards next month, but stepped down after homophobic tweets from several years ago surfaced.
