This will mark the Ride Along star’s second time hosting. He previously fronted a March 2013 episode, when Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were the musical guests.
Hart, who recently defended himself after Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper referred to him as a “whore” in a leaked email, will host the show on the day after his forthcoming comedy The Wedding Ringer gets released. A musical guest for the episode has not yet been announced.
