Spank confirmed it...not being a plant but having one up. Katt's talking specifically about the Hollywood ish. No matter what you have going on elsewhere, you still have to do the circuit in LA as a comedian. The Canadians, the city folks all still had to grind in Hollywood still after making a name elsewhere. He's said Kevin Hart had a TV show and starring in his own movie when he got there, without doing the circuit as a comedian. That's unheard of. Spank said that they linked with someone in Canada who got Kevin Hart the show then they came to LA (paraphrasing).Not true at all and a BLATANT lie on Katt’s part
Kev Hart still put in the work and took advantage of every opportunity though, so while plant isn't the word I'd use, I can see why he turned some of the others off. With that said, he knows how and is willing to play that game, AND he still embraces the comedian culture by pulling others through the door, so it really should be a non issue.
