Steve Harvey Takes Advice From Fans and Changes His Look

Steve Harvey is rocking his new look after fans told him to switch up the “mustache.”

The television host is in the midst of gearing up for his second season of “Steve” and decided to join the “beard gang.” Harvey decided to revamp his jet Black mustache and let the salt and pepper beard grow in.

Harvey told ET, “Every now and then I reinvent myself. … I grew a beard out, but last year it wasn’t enough grey in the mustache yet, but this year when I didn’t color it, it was a lot more grey. So I’m flipping the script and I’m a see how the beard game go.”

The comedian initially showcased his salt and pepper beard while he was doing a radio show in Paris, France. He wrote on Instagram, “Coming back home soon and I will be taking votes on keeping the beard or not.”

Fans weighed in under Harvey’s comment section and voted for him to “keep the beard.”

“Love that Beard, & I know that Marjorie does You Look So ready For A Under Cover Movie, Detective, and President over a Very Prominent Firm. Keep the Beard,” one fan wrote.

“Before I even saw the question about keeping beard, I was going to say that beard looks good on you. Definitely keep it. Lovin this beard on u and u rock the grey sooo Well,” another added.

“I’m feeling the beard!! Good look on u, keep it! Filed under Zaddy.”

“I vote keep the beard!!! Distinguished gentleman vibes. Isssa look!! Please keep it!!! We like!”

One fan voted, “That beard though…WOW!!! Nice suave – on and popping – look for you makes you look sophisticated… KEEP IT!!!! #maturityatitsbest.”

The second season of “Steve” will air September 4 on NBC Universal for a second season. Harvey said viewers can expect to see more of “regular people with human interest stories.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
