Real Husbands of Hollywood (abbreviated RHOH) is an American reality television parody on BET which debuted on January 15, 2013.[1]

Background

The series was created by comedian Kevin Hart, and follows the daily lives of him and other married celebrities, each playing a fictionalized version of themselves, as they venture through their surreal life in Hollywood.[2] Members of the initial cast include: Boris Kodjoe, Nelly, Duane Martin, J.B. Smoove, Nick Cannon, Oliver (Hart's assistant, played by James Davis), and Robin Thicke, who didn't return for the second season due to his music career, though Hart has stated that the door is open for Thicke to return. Thicke returned to the show but it unconfirmed as a main character or a guest character. The proof is on Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart snap chats of Thicke's appearance [3]

The series is intentionally filmed in a style similar to Bravo's The Real Housewives. Episodes often hinge on the "real" Kevin Hart's desperately unsuccessful attempts to climb Hollywood's celebrity social ladder (which always backfire in humiliating ways), and the character's barely-hidden jealousy of his more successful celebrity friends. A sneak peek was shown as a segment during the 2012 BET Awards and the official promo was released in October 2012.[4]
