Kevin Hart reprises his role as "SNL" host.

Saturday night, it was comedian and actor Kevn Hart's turn to take yet another stab at Saturday Night Live when the 38-year old hosted the latest episode of the sketch comedy show for the third time in a row.

Naturally, all eyes set to Hart's opening monologue in expectation of a poignant take on the world's current issues and a few nods toward his own personal life. Hart came into this appearance in promotion for his forthcoming Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle film, his Irresponsible stand-up tour, and celebrating the birth of his newborn son Kenzo with wife Eniko. While we expected Hart to throw at least one jab toward his publicized infidelity, he opted instead to deliver some jokes on the more positive changes in his life--parenting.

While generally well-received, some people still took issue with some of Kevin Hart's remarks, inlclduing a joke he made about moms and dads that some viewers saw as sexist.

"You never heard a kid say, 'I can't wait to get home and play with my mom,'" Hart said in the routine. "You ain't never heard that. 'Can't wait for mommy and me time.' That don't exist. Don't no kids say that. All the fun responsibility lies on the shoulder of the father."
