Steve Harvey is crazy. There isn't much else to say really. I mean, this guy has some serious balls to get on television and say the things he does, especially considering a very large majority of his target audience are two groups he offends the most, that being women and black people. Steve Harvey had been working the comic circuit for years before he rose to prominence; this is understandable, considering that rising to prominence in performance is quite difficult for most people. However, his brand of comedy remained unappealing to most people because well...it was old. Harvey even admits this in his act, frequently referring to himself as "old school", as if that were some kind of excuse. He must not have known that actors like John Witherspoon, who was about 30 years older than Harvey, had been using that act for years, while at the same time honing their skills for a newer audience, exactly what you are supposed to do as a comedian, and the reason John Witherspoon remains a beloved figure in entertainment after his passing. Steve Harvey fails to realize that saying you are "old school" is pretty meaningless while you have a new iphone in your hand. You have to change with the times or you become irrelevant, which is exactly what happened to Steve Harvey before his rise to stardom. Steve had fell off and fell off hard. Enter Spike Lee, who directed the now critically acclaimed King's of Comedy, featuring D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac. The performances is Kings of Comedy were so great that all the stand up comedians who starred in the show would receive a ton of offers for shows and movies. Bernie Mac got his own show. The Hughleys were also born from this movie. And Cedric the Entertainer was in every movie involving black people for almost a decade. The movie also showed a lighter side of Spike Lee, and made his work more accessible to the general public. The movie was a smash hit. But what to do with Steve Harvey? Steve had already starred in his own show on the WB prior to ever hosting the Kings of Comedy. Steve did a few movies here and there, but didn't really get as much acclaim as the other performers. His standup was much less topical than the other performers and he just didn't really get as many laughs as the others. So, the movie did nowhere near as much for him as he probably would have hoped. Steve ended up hosting a morning radio show on KBLX; this, not the KIngs of Comedy, is what really solidified him in the daytime talk show host community. However, Steve Harvey was not really the funny one on the show. The show was a success because of Tommy "Nephew" Miles, Harvey's nephew, which is where he gets the stage name. I used to listen to the Steve Harvey morning show all the time, but I clearly remember hoping that Steve would shut the hell up and let Tommy do his thing. Miles was great at impressions, so great that a whole segment was devoted to Tommy's prank calls because that was the funniest segment on the show. Tommy Miles is a true talent, and way funnier than Steve has ever been. Harvey spent most of his time on the radio show plugging his latest book, the title of which I don't remember or care to know. It was basically a book on how to get women that he dressed up as some guide to being a man. Women on the show would call in looking for help for real problems and Steve would give them awful advice. The show remained popular because of Miles. Then Steve basically ghosted on his nephew when he started getting offers for daytime television. Now he hosts the family feud and also appears on various talk shows, making the rounds and spreading his false gospel on how to be a man. Well, Steve, you have to be a man before you can give advice on being a man. Real men can obviously separate their sexual urges from everyday life. I am about as straight as you can get. Most of my friends are women, and I have never had sexual contact with any of the women that I call friends.
