Kevin Hart Returns with Cold As Balls: Cold Calls, a Special Edition of the Internet’s Biggest Sports Talk Show from Laugh Out Loud

Episodes Will Feature All-New Format, Same Hilarious Interviews, As Hart is Surprised with Cold Calls from Guests Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson, Donovan McNabb, Derrick Henry, and Paul George. Season 4, Presented by Old Spice, Premieres on Tuesday, June 16th

Laugh Out Loud, the comedy brand and entertainment company founded by the world’s top comedian Kevin Hart, announces the return of the Internet’s biggest sports talk show, Cold As Balls, in an all-new format.

The 5-episode season – titled Cold As Balls: Cold Calls – takes athletes from the cold tub to the couch as each guest will call directly into the show without Hart knowing who’s on the other line. This season of Cold as Balls is even more focused on real laughs, real conversations, and male bonding moments that show the many dimensions of CAB’s guests and Hart.

“This special season of CAB created an opportunity for me to check in and share a laugh with some of the world’s biggest athletes – from our homes – to discuss family, career, and sports,” says Hart.

The new season kicks off on Tuesday, June 16th with Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman, as he reflects on his time at home in quarantine, talks about his complicated relationship with Michael Crabtree, opens up about the times he’s been stereotyped as a Black athlete, and discusses the importance of giving back to his community.

Additional guests this season include Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, NFL legend and former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, and Los Angeles Clippers All-Star Paul George.

Old Spice, with its long history of helping guys navigate the seas of manhood, returns for the fourth season as presenting sponsor. The quintessential men’s grooming brand, bringing its commitment to eliminating sweat in all forms, is excited to once again partner with Hart to illuminate the personalities behind sport’s biggest names.

“Old Spice is ready to hop back into the ice-cold interviews with Kevin,” said Matt Krehbiel, Old Spice associate brand director at Procter & Gamble. “As we wait for the stadiums and arenas to re-open, we’re excited to again connect fans with their favorite athletes with Cold as Balls and Old Spice delivering real laughter – even with social distancing in place.”
