Critics may be telling Kevin Hart to get lost after Get Hard, but MTV is telling the actor to get himself to the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, April 12.

Because the actor will be recognized there as a Comedic Genius.

Hart himself confirmed he’ll be receiving the Comedic Genius Award at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards by starring in a commercial for the event in which brags about being the “funniest man alive” to a third-grade nemesis.

It’s certainly been an impressive recent run for the diminutive star.

Kevin Hart just hosted the Justin Bieber Roast on Comedy Central, which followed a string of hit movies; from Get Hard to The Wedding Ringer to Think Like a Man Too and Ride Along.

He’s also pretty darn good at dance-offing against Josh Gad and lip-syncing against Will Ferrell.

The MTV Movie Awards, hosted by Amy Schumer (the funniest woman alive?), will air on April 12 at 8/7c.

THG will have full coverage of the ceremony.
