NBC news mistakes Kevin Hart for Usain Bolt… awkward.
· Aug 26, 2020 · NottheBee.com

Despite more than a foot difference in height between them and the fact that one is a world record breaking olympic athlete and one tells (well paid) jokes, NBC news mistakenly posted a news article about Usain Bolt's recent coronavirus diagnosis using a picture of Kevin Hart.

Comedian Kevin Hart took to Instagram and made fun of the mix up, writing, "P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels....All you can do is laugh. Maybe the Covid 19 shrunk his legs & torso 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂"

NBC news released a statement stating, "The social image on this post mistakenly featured a photo of comedian Kevin Hart...in the content management system, a social image was not selected, and the system reverted to an image of Hart from an unrelated video. The display image has been corrected."
