oday SiriusXM and Laugh Out Loud, the multi-platform comedy brand founded by Kevin Hart, announced the launch of three new original programs including the debut podcast from Hart, Inside Jokes with Kevin Hart. The news was first shared this morning on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show. Hosted by the megastar actor and comedian, Inside Jokes will feature Hart in conversation with fellow top comics, including one of the biggest names in comedy history, Jerry Seinfeld, as the inaugural guest. The podcast airs this evening at 8:00pm ET on SiriusXM’s Laugh Out Loud Radio channel 96, and is available now on the SiriusXM app, Pandora, Stitcher, and wherever listeners access podcasts.
Known for its unfiltered, relatable, and hilarious content, Laugh Out Loud’s expanded audio slate continues to push forward the company’s mission of “getting the world laughing together,” through authentic and culturally relevant series that showcase innovative and groundbreaking multicultural voices moving the needle forward in comedy.
Available now, the Inside Jokes podcast brings audiences into an intimate conversation between Hart and some of the world’s funniest people for “ear-opening” dialogue, never-before-heard stories, hilarious moments, and of course, “inside jokes.” Following the series premiere with Jerry Seinfeld, the star-studded guest lineup slated for the coming weeks includes: Steve Harvey, Bill Burr, Zainab Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer, Desus & Mero, Nick Kroll, Hasan Minhaj, and others. New episodes will premiere Wednesday nights at 8:00pm ET exclusively on Laugh Out Loud Radio channel 96 and will subsequently be released as a podcast.

“I’m sitting down with some of the best voices in comedy to give my listeners the stories behind the jokes they hear on stage. Comedians have been through it all, and I’m excited that I’ll be digging deep into the lives of my peers for my first podcast,” said Chairman of Laugh Out Loud and Inside Jokes host Hart. “I also think our fans will love the slate of new LOL programming on SiriusXM and can’t wait to introduce audiences to the dynamic talents of Jazzy, Chris, and Vanessa.”
“The only thing funnier than Kevin Hart is Kevin Hart in conversation with another comedian,” said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. “I’m excited to present our Inside Jokes podcast to listeners across the globe, in addition to the new shows on SiriusXM, as we continue to collaborate with Laugh Out Loud to shape Kevin’s channel into the pinnacle of diverse comedy programming in audio entertainment.”
In addition to Inside Jokes, Laugh Out Loud continues to expand its audio slate on SiriusXM with the debut of two new shows: The Ladies Room with Jazzy, a roundtable-style program led by comedian and actor Jasmin Brown alongside four of her closest (and most hilarious) friends, Natalie Friedman, Briana Lawrence, Renita Woodland, and Kiya Roberts; and Date Night with Chris and Vanessa, the weekly series where married couple actor and writer Chris Spencer (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Don’t Be a Menace) and casting director Vanessa Spencer (Entourage, Be Cool) invite couples on a date night to unpack the issues everyone faces in relationships and family life. Ladies Room premiered January 25, with new episodes dropping Mondays and Wednesday at 7:00pm ET, while new episodes of Date Night air Fridays at 7:00pm ET, both exclusively on SiriusXM and the SiriusXM app.
“At Laugh Out Loud, audio has been a key area of growth for us.
