The Family Feud Host’s Rise to Fame

Steve Harvey, 67, of Welch, West Virginia, is a multi-talented American comedian, actor, author, and television show host. At one point in his life, Steve Harvey found himself living out of his car with only $35 to his name. Feeling defeated, Harvey turned to his faith and prayed for guidance. In a vulnerable moment, he recalled crying and telling God ” Man, I’ve been trying to make this dream come true. You done left me out here like this.” Harvey then said that he felt like God was talking back to him saying ” Get up, and I’ll take you places you ain’t never been.” Not long after, Steve received a message on his answering machine from Chuck Sutton.

Chuck Sutton worked at Showtime at the Apollo and invited Harvey to perform on their Sunday night lineup. The only problem was Steve Harvey didn’t have enough money to fly to New York.
