Kevin Hart's 'Laugh Out Loud' Bows In August, Programming Announced

If Kevin Hart gets his way, your life's about to get a whole lot funnier.

It was announced on Tuesday that Hart's Laugh Out Loud (LOL) streaming video service is set to launch on August 3. Developed in partnership with Lionsgate, the service will consist of original scripted and unscripted comedy series, stand-up specials, licensed programming and live broadcasts.

The streaming service will also include live comedy sets, beginning with the Just for Laughs comedy festival.

Hart has already offered fans a chance to sample LOL with the first episode of his series Kevin Hart: Lyft Legend released on LOL's Facebook page. In the hidden camera series, Hart transforms into an elderly Lyft driver to put customers through a series of bizarre and humorous situations to see just how much they can take. Though the first episode was made available on Facebook, future weekly episodes will run exclusively on LOL's streaming service.
