Kevin Hart Returns for COLD AS BALLS Talk Show Season 5

Laugh Out Loud, the global comedy brand and multi-platform entertainment company founded by Kevin Hart, announces the return of the Internet's biggest sports talk show, Cold As Balls, with season five, produced by OBB Pictures and LOL Studios, with returning sponsor, Old Spice.

Returning to the Locker Room following last season's outdoor, socially-distanced stadium-theme, season five will bring us back to the original locker room where it all began. The newest season will feature more of the real and hilarious conversations that lead to jaw-dropping revelations with top athletes and personalities, including Michael Strahan, Calvin Johnson, Chloe Kim, Jerry Rice, The Undertaker, and more.

The new season kicks off on Tuesday, October 26th with Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl Anthony Towns, as he reflects on his journey to the NBA, and how his family's struggles growing up inspired him to go after his dreams. He also discusses his imaginary friend on the court - Karlito - and reveals that the hardest player he's ever had to play against is himself.

"Bringing humor and authenticity into real conversation is one of the reasons Cold As Balls has been such a success over the past four seasons," says Kevin Hart. "This season we're excited to be back in our original locker room setup as we deliver more laughs and ice cold truths with some of the biggest superstars and legends in the game."

"Kevin and our guests seemed way too refreshed by the ice tubs outdoors last season so it was the perfect time to get back into the locker room," said Michael D. Ratner, OBB's Founder and CEO. "Thanks to Kevin and the genuine and hilarious heart of this show, we've built a massive audience over the years that we're very proud of - it's time to reunite with the incredible fans for season 5."
