Harvey has also enjoyed a successful career on the small screen. His television debut came with a starring role on “Me and the Boys” on the ABC network in 1994 which led Harvey to his long-standing role in “The Steve Harvey Show.”  The sitcom was featured on the WB network for six seasons and yielded numerous NAACP Image Awards. He is currently the host of the long-running family game show, “Family Feud.” Harvey announced this week that this fall he will be debuting a syndicated television talk show that will focus on relationship themes including romance, marriage, parenting, friendship and the workplace.

In 2000, Harvey joined the radio airwaves with “The Steve Harvey Morning Show.”  After originally airing in Los Angeles and Dallas, Harvey’s radio show has grown to syndication in over 60 markets across the United States including Majic 104.9 in St. Louis. 

In 2009, Harvey added “Best Selling Author” to his long list of accomplishments with the publishing of “Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man.” Harvey’s self help book for women on how to understand the male mind became a No. 1 Best Seller and has been adapted for the film “Think Like a Man” which opens in theatres April 20 and stars Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart and Jerry Ferrara.
