Ellen DeGeneres will air an interview with comedian Kevin Hart on her talk show on Friday, bumping up the air date based on the conversation.

DeGeneres announced the interview via Twitter: “I had an incredible and honest conversation with @KevinHart4real about hosting the #Oscars. It was supposed to air on Monday. I don’t want you to have to wait, so now it’s gonna air tomorrow.”

Hart stepped down from hosting the upcoming Academy Awards after a controversy mushroomed about past homophobic remarks. DeGeneres notably came out on television and is a former Academy Awards host.
