Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson to Host Olympic Highlights Series for Paris 2024 Games on Peacock

Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson are teaming up once again, this time to bring their comedic talents to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Peacock has ordered an eight-episode series titled “Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson,” where the duo will provide commentary on the best and most unexpected moments of the Games.

The series will debut on July 26, the same day as the Opening Ceremony, with 2-3 episodes rolling out per week. Hart and Thompson will serve as hosts and executive producers, guiding viewers through Olympic-themed in-studio competitions, conversations, and interviews.

“We can’t wait to be a part of the Paris Olympics and help hype up the audience with highlights from the best moments of the Games,” said Hart. “We’re going for gold, everybody!” Thompson added, “Kev and I are super excited to be part of the Paris Olympics by recapping performances from some of the world’s best athletes. Let’s go Team U.S.A.!”

This isn’t the first time Hart has worked on an Olympic Highlights series for Peacock. In 2021, he teamed up with Snoop Dogg for the Tokyo Olympics. The new series is also executive produced by Bryan Smiley, Jeff Clanagn, Luke-Kelly-Clyne, Kevin Healey, and David Nickoll, with JC Del Barco as co-executive producer. Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat will produce the series, directed by Leslie Small.

Fans can expect a mix of humor and sports commentary from this dynamic duo as they bring their unique perspective to the Paris Olympics.
