Naturally, Hart and his character are both well-known stand-up comedians from Philadelphia; in fact, showrunner Eric Newman (Narcos) told the New York Times that Hart wanted to play a character who was like himself.
Obviously, Hart has never engaged in any of the sinister activities shown in this seven-episode series, but he has claimed that someone in his position is continually tempted to act inappropriately.
He told the New York Times, “It’s so simple to do stupid stuff. “You can access it whenever you want. Living morally requires intentional effort, as does doing the right thing. It’s also works.
“Not that it’s awful work, but you’re always working to make sure you’re doing things correctly and appropriately. You need a strong support system that can say no to you.
Hart’s real-life experience, in which he believes that a natural ability to multitask allows him to get a “mind-blowing” number of things done, also served as inspiration for The Kid’s hectic schedule in True Story.
