Steve Harvey Gets a Talk Show


A few years ago Steve Harvey was thisclose to having his own daytime talk show, that is until Oprah Winfrey shut down production after finding out how cruel Steve is to his ex wife Mary [click here if you missed that]. But that's all in the past because Steve just landed his very own talk show airing on NBC next fall...

From The NY Post
The comedian Steve Harvey has a nationally syndicated morning radio show. He’s the host of “Family Feud.” A movie based on his bestselling dating advice book is due out in March. He still does about 25 dates of stand-up a year.

And yet all this, he said, is “the calm before the storm.”

Next fall, NBC plans to begin airing his new daytime talk show, which Harvey envisions with an emphasis on “everyday people” rather than celebrities, variety-show elements such as singing contests and an overall feel he described as “ ‘Oprah’ with a sense of humor.”

“I think it’s going to get absolutely crazy,” he predicted.
