Currently sitting as the highest-grossing comedian and a bankable movie star in both comedy and drama, Kevin Hart is now adding a new title to his resume – entertainment and business mogul. The comedian sits with correspondent Anderson Cooper on 60 MINUTES this Sunday to talk about his rise from the underground comedy scene to top-billing at sold-out arenas and his latest transition into production and business ventures.
Hart’s segment on the iconic news/interview show finds Cooper going backstage with Hart in Pasadena as he tests out new material sitting down with him at his LA headquarters to discuss the business of being funny. Cooper even joins Hart on a Walmart run.
