Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson are set to bring the laughs this summer.
The comedians will host the new Peacock series Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, which will offer a timely look at the biggest and most memorable moments from the 2024 Paris Games. From swimming to boxing, the duo will chime in with their unique and hilarious commentary on it all.
“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. We’re going for gold, everybody!” said Hart, an executive producer on the series.
Thompson, also an executive producer, 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.!”

The eight-episode series, produced by Hartbeat, begins July 26 — the same day as the Opening Ceremony. From then on, two to three new episodes will be released on Peacock weekly throughout the Olympics, which run from July 11 through August 11.
