Steve Harvey Details What His ‘Crazy-Ass Wife’ Marjorie Did to Go All Out for Their Grandkids

There’s no doubt that Steve Harvey is a loving grandfather, but his wife Marjorie Harvey certainly knows how to outdo him when it comes to spoiling their grandchildren.

The “Family Feud” host recently shared just how she does it during the online segment “Rapid Fire with Steve Harvey” on Nov. 12.

“We out in L.A. for Christmas, right? Guess what the grandkids asked my wife for?” ‘Nana, we want a snowman,'” Steve told his game show audience between tapings of “Feud.” “Hey, ain’t no f–king snow out here. Quit asking for s–t we got to f–king bring in. We got these f–king penguins out here. Shut up asking for a f–king snowman!”

But while Steve wasn’t down to bring the cold weather to Los Angeles for the holiday season, Marjorie was determined to make her grandchildren’s dreams come true.

“What’d my crazy-ass wife do?” Steve says before making the audience erupt with laughter. “A f–king snow machine. Snow all in the f–king backyard. Hot as hell on Christmas. Well, f–king snow all out in the g-ddamn backyard. F–king around with the ignorant-ass kids. ‘We want a snowman.’ If you grew up with my daddy? You want a snowman? Well, you not getting a f–king snowman!”

Fans reacted by laughing to the story online.

“Well they know that Grandpa got the Flow… to bring in that snow. Go ahead and give the kids what they want Steve.. 😆”

“That grandchildren for u sir”

“Got to keep the kiddos happy LOL!”

This is not the first time Steve has shared how Marjorie has gone the extra mile for the couple’s five grandchildren during the holidays.

Speaking on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last year, Steve said he tried to talk his wife out of turning their home into an all-out winter wonderland.

“I had to talk her down a little bit because Marjorie has a rational problem,” the comedian detailed on the talk show in December 2018. “I tried to get her to understand that we’re not Staples Center. You can’t bring all this stuff in here. For Christmas, she wants a little ice skating rink for the kids. And she says everybody gon’ ice skate. I can’t ice skate, I gotta go to work tomorrow.”

Marjorie managed to give the grands an ice skating rink after all, and Steve was also recorded making a few slow laps around it.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
