‘You Better Get Him Back on TV!’: Steve Harvey Throwback Post Leaves Fans Hungry for His Talk Show to Return

Even though Steve Harvey can still be seen on TV as the host of “Family Feud,” a lot of people miss his talk show, which was evident after he posted a throwback clip of a Halloween episode.

Harvey’s talk show “Steve,” which began in 2017, was taken off the air earlier this year, and his time slot was taken over by Kelly Clarkson‘s “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

It was a move that Harvey blasted NBC for, because he said the network never told him about the switch, and he learned about it through the media.

Under his throwback Instagram video, people had a lot to say about his talk show, and how they’d love for it to come back.

“I wish they’d bring your show back!!” someone wrote.

“I miss his show! It was my favorite!! Love Steve Harvey!!💜💛😄💚❤️,” another stated.

“You better get him back on tv!” a third person commented.

Another one of Harvey’s followers said he should follow in the footsteps of Jada Pinkett Smith, who created her own talk show with “Red Table Talk” and put it on Facebook.

“Steve you look so cool. I miss you so much,” that person wrote. “How about you do a Steve Harvey red table on YouTube or on Facebook. Come on man I got to see you more often. The world can’t do this without you💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍❤️❤️❤️.”

Harvey’s video, posted on Thursday, amassed nearly 40,000 likes since it hit Instagram, and he also shared another clip from that same Halloween episode.

In the second video, the funny man linked up with his “Original Kings of Comedy” partner Cedric the Entertainer to sing a funny song about disrobing. That second clip was liked nearly 35,000 times and 125 people left comments.

“Wow ! You have so many talents. I had no idea you could sing 👍👍🎤,” someone wrote about Harvey.

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.
