NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution has renewed rookie talker "Steve Harvey" for a second season.

The syndicated entry, which earned host Steve Harvey a People's Choice Award on Wednesday for favorite new talk show host, is currently sold in 98 percent of the country, including all NBC owned TV stations.

The hourlong show in the November sweep was the only new syndicated entry to post gains year-over-year, build on its lead-in and grow among households and women 25-54.



“The instant success of Steve Harvey with the daytime audience is being greeted with long-term commitments from our station partners,” NBCU Domestic TV Distribution president Barry Wallach said in a statement announcing the news Thursday.

"Steve Harvey" hails from Endemol USA, with Harvey, Alex Duda and Rushion McDonald on board as exec producers and taped before a live studio audience in Chicago.
