Steve Harvey has time and again proven his dedication to
changing the public perception of African-American humor by means of his unique
gift for humor. Steve Harvey’s universal truth-style and observant eye have
gained Harvey a loyal following with his top-rated show on the WB.
Steve Harvey still vocally articulates his frustrations with the racial sliding
scale of prime-time success. A native of Cleveland, OH, Steve Harvey began his
career as a standup comedian in the early '90s. With his popularity leading to a
long-running stint on television's popular Showtime at the Apollo a few short
years later, Steve Harvey 's small-screen career was soon on the rise and he
next landed a leading role (as well as a People's Choice Award nomination for
Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series) in television's Me and the
Boys in 1994. With his own series, The Steve Harvey Show, close on the horizon,
the comic's influence was gaining even more momentum in addition to a wider
audience. And though Steve Harvey would earn four NAACP Image Awards for
Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for his show, Harvey was quick to point out
that that doesn't necessarily entitle him to the perks of a role in a more
Caucasian-oriented sitcom.
Steve Harvey was one of four black comics featured in director Spike Lee's The
Original Kings of Comedy (2000), Harvey was soon joined in prime time by fellow
King Bernie Mac when Mac debuted his own namesake television series in early

Steve Harvey hosted his own radio morning radio show, The Steve Harvey Morning
Show, syndicated under Radio One, Inc. broadcasting company, from September 2000
till May 2005. The Los Angeles-based show, although fairly successful in the
L.A. market itself, was not as successful in its national syndication efforts as
either Harvey or Radio One had hoped it would be. Ultimately, the show aired
only in L.A. on KKBT, and in Dallas on KBFB, with Harvey splitting his time
between the Dallas and L.A. studios. As a result, Harvey and Radio One decided
to part ways shortly before his contract expired.
In September 2005, Harvey signed a joint syndication deal with Premiere Radio
Networks and Inner City Broadcasting Corporation for a new incarnation of The
Steve Harvey Morning Show; the show is based out of WBLS in New York and counts
Clear Channel-owned WMXD-FM in Detroit among its affiliates.
