Kevin Hart ABC Comedy Pilot Rumors: Show 'Largely Based' on Comedian's Stand-Up Routines

The Kevin Hart money-making machine is still running at top speed. The excellent stand-up comic has been getting roles left and right in shows like Real Husbands Of Hollywood and movies like Think Like A Man, Too. While I think that Hart's pushed-around-little-guy shtick might be wearing thin, he still provides a few excellent moments amid all the tired, typecast bits (especially opposite Robin Thicke).

Not to mention, casting Kevin Hart is akin to printing currency at this point. That must have been running through ABC exec's minds when they greenlight a new comedy pilot that will feature Hart as a recurring character. The series is focusing on a divorced couple who are attempting to be friendly for the sake of their children and is largely based on Hart's stand-up routines. 

The script will be handled by executive producers Neil Goldman and Garret Donovan, whose previous experience includes Community, Family Guy and Scrubs.
