Steve Harvey, born Broderick Steven Harvey on January 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia, is a beloved comedian, television host, and family man. Despite growing up with a stutter that affected his confidence, especially when mocked by a teacher for his dreams of becoming an entertainer, Harvey persevered with support from his family.
Starting his career performing stand-up comedy in 1985, Harvey faced many struggles, including homelessness where he lived in his car and survived on sandwiches. Yet his persistence led to a breakthrough at the Apollo theater followed by hosting roles like “Showtime at the Apollo” and his own sitcom “The Steve Harvey Show.”
Today, Harvey is known worldwide as the charismatic host of “Family Feud.” He is not only a successful entertainer but also a husband to Marjorie Bridges and father to seven children. His transformation into a style icon recently has also captured public admiration.
