According to Wikipedia, Broderick Stephen “Steve” Harvey (born January 17, 1957) is an American comedian, television host, producer, radio personality, actor, and author. He is a three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner, and a 14-time NAACP Image Award winner in various categories.
Harvey was born on in Welch, West Virginia, the son of Jesse Harvey, a coal miner, and his wife Eloise Vera. His first name is Broderick, named after actor Broderick Crawford of the TV series Highway Patrol. Harvey’s family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, living on East 112th Street, which would eventually be renamed Steve Harvey Way in 2015. He graduated from Glenville High School in 1974. Shortly after high school, he attended Kent State University and West Virginia University and is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. He has been a boxer, an autoworker, an insurance salesman, a carpet cleaner, and a mailman.
Harvey has been married three times and has seven children. From his first marriage, to Marcia Harvey, he has twin daughters and a son. From his second marriage, to Mary Shackelford, Harvey has another son. The couple divorced in November 2005. In 2011, Collin County, Texas, 199th District Court Judge Robert Dry expressed concern about Mary Harvey spreading false information about the divorce, with the judge suggesting that she had not been left materially destitute.
In June 2007, he married Marjorie Bridges, who he says is responsible for making him a better man and changing his life. Marjorie Harvey has three children of her own. Steve raises them as his own. Steve and Marjorie have four grandchildren: two through Jason’s marriage to his wife Amanda, one through Morgan’s marriage to her husband Kareem and one through Karli’s marriage to husband Ben. Harvey and his family split their time between Atlanta, where his radio show is broadcast and Family Feud is recorded, and Chicago, where he hosts his talk show for NBCUniversal from the company’s Chicago studios, though he will host his radio show there as well.
In September 2014, he launched a new dating website called Delightful to “help Women become more dateable”.
In January 2017, Steve Harvey made jokes on “Steve Harvey” about Asian men, ridiculing the idea that any white woman or black woman would want to date them. “Excuse me, do you like Asian men?”, he said, “No, thank you.” He went on to add, “I don’t even like Chinese food.” The remarks were met with criticism from members of the Asian American community, including New York lawmakers and author Eddie Huang. He targeted Asian men in a string of racist jokes, implying Asian men are not attractive. He mocked the 2002 book “How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men”.
