Who is Steve Harvey? 

Born to Jesse Harvey and Eloise Vera, Steve Harvey was born in Welch, West Virginia. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated from Glenville High School in 1974. He would later attend Kent State University where he met fellow comedian Arsenio Hall before transferring to West Virginia University. Ultimately, he’d drop out and continue to pursue his showbiz aspirations.

He’s worked many jobs in his lifetime, even though showbiz ended up working for him. From insurance salesman to carpet cleaner and even a mailman, Harvey has gone through many stints. Ever noticed how big is? Well, he’s been a boxer too. Mr. Harvey has been no stranger to hard work. In his youth, he worked on a farm in the summertime. As a son of a coal miner, working hard has shaped the values he continues to live by today.

It wasn’t always bright lights and doting crowds for Steve. At some point in his life, he was living in his car. Early in his career, while living from gig to gig as a comedian, they just stopped booking him. He had to bathe in public washrooms, places like gas stations and hotels served as havens during those trying times. It seemed like he’d reached rock bottom. Fortunately, these hard times turned out to be nothing but a rough patch on the road to success.

What’s Next for Steve Harvey? 

Steve has always wanted to be a judge, and while he isn’t exactly qualified to be one, he plays one on TV. His program, Judge Steve Harvey premiered on ABC earlier this year, and it’s been getting some pretty positive reviews for it. The first show was watched by 2. 3 million viewers and the numbers have been pretty consistent from week to week.  The seriousness of the law is diluted here with Harvey’s comedic genius and all his hilarious antics. There’s no doubt viewers will keep demanding more and more seasons.

While many viewers were of the impression that Family Feud has been canceled, it’s only being renewed. The revamped version, Celebrity Family Feud is set to air in July this year, adding a star-studded touch to an already successful franchise.  It’s clear Steve has got a lot of TV appearances left in him. He’s showing no signs of cutting or withdrawing from media and entertainment in general.  It seems he’s yet to grace our skins and keep us giggling for years to come.
