This Stuttering Boy First Saw a Toilet Flush at 5 — At 66, He’s a Millionaire TV Host & Devoted Family Man
This boy grew up in poverty but dreamed big. Despite many obstacles, he pursued his dreams relentlessly and achieved them. He is now a famous comedian, TV host, author, and businessman.
Born on January 17, 1957, in West Virginia, Steve Harvey knew from a young age that he wanted to be on TV. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, in a poor family, with his dad working as a coal miner.
The road to success wasn’t easy. Steve stuttered as a child and faced homelessness for three years. Despite these challenges, he promised God that if he made it, he would give thanks. Today, Steve keeps his promise, sharing gratitude at the end of every show.
Steve’s big break came in 1990 when he won a national comedy competition, leading to more opportunities. Now, he’s known as one of the busiest men in Hollywood, running his own TV show.
Family is Steve’s greatest achievement. He married Marjorie in 2007, and they have seven children and seven grandchildren. Steve credits Marjorie for his happiness and peace, saying she’s the reason for his success.
