Comic superstar and all-around hustler Kevin Hart shared the awesome teaser for Dave, the comedy — is it reality too? — starring rapper Lil Dicky from Cheltenham, PA. Lil Dicky has the distinction of being a comedian first, a rapper sort of second, and one of the few in either field to have graduated from college summa cum laude.

Elsewhere Hart has said, “I think [Lil Dicky]’s a star. You want to see people raise the level of creative and that’s what we’re seeing here.”
The chief response was fire emojis everywhere, as people in the know think Lil Dicky is gonna blow up on TV a la Dave Chappelle. Comic star and uber-talented actress Tiffany Haddish says of Lil Dicky — whose “government name” is Dave Burd — “he ready.” But are we? Hailee Steinfeld wrote simply: “😍😍😍.” Those are heart eyes, of course. Hailee Steinfeld puts the heart in it for Lil Dicky. Odds are you will too.
Dave will air on FXX and FX on HULU this spring, which says it’s “centered on a neurotic man in his late twenties who has convinced himself that he’s destined to be one of the best rappers of all time. Now he must convince his closest friends, because with their help, he actually might convince the world.” [Get the FXNOW app free to download]
