Last month Steve Harvey hinted he was thinking of leaving his daytime talk show after NBC blindsided him by announcing the new Kelly Clarkson talk show [click here if you missed that].
Now Steve is looking past his TV career...
From Variety
“I’ve got to generate businesses that can secure something for my family,” he said. “If I don’t get into these apps, and if I don’t expand globally, if I don’t look at the tech space, I have no way of leaving them anything.”
“I’ve already proven myself to be the hardest working man in show business,” he said on the latest episode of “Strictly Business,” recorded last month from the stage of Variety’s annual CES summit in Las Vegas. “Now with global business opportunities, I’m trying to work a lot smarter instead of harder.”
Those new opportunities range from investments far from the entertainment world to apps, where he has turned a game from his talk show, “Harvey’s Hundreds,” into a mobile experience. With the possibility that he and NBCUniversal may go their separate ways after seven years of doing “Steve” on stations across the country, Harvey knows he has to think about business differently.
