Steve Harvey To End Daytime Talk Show, Launch New One with IMG & NBCU
by Nellie Andreeva
November 11, 2016


"The Steve Harvey Show" will be coming to an end after five seasons.

However, Harvey will remain a daytime fixture with a new talker, set to launch in September. He will produce the new show with IMG. It will be distributed by NBCUniversal Domestic Television, which also distributed "Steve Harvey".



The NBC stations, which currently carry "Steve Harvey", also will be the core station group for the new show next fall. NBCU is currently shopping it to other stations with the expectations that the new show will be taken on by the majority of stations that carry "Steve Harvey".

The terms of the deals are unclear but a shows of this caliber usually seek and get a two-year initial pickup.







There had been speculation that Harvey would end his successful talk show when his contract with EndemolShine North America ends in 2017. EndemolShine produced "Steve Harvey", based in Chicago, which will wrap after completing its current fifth season in May. The comedian is teaming with a new producing partner, IMG, for the new talker, which will be based in Los Angeles.

Because of the new location, the new show is expected to be more celebrity driven while keeping Harvey’s trademark comedy.



Harvey’s star as a TV host has risen meteorically since his eponymous talk show launched in 2012. Having his daytime talker in Los Angeles will be convenient for Harvey as three other shows he hosts are produced here, NBC’s "Little Big Shots" and ABC’s "Celebrity Family Feud" and "Funderdome". (The "Celebrity Feud" syndicated strip films in Atlanta but such game shows usually are filmed in large batches).

"Steve Harvey" has consistently been a top tier talker, ranking #4 behind "Dr. Phil", "Ellen" and "Live! with Kelly". During the most recent week reporting, it averaged 2.3 million viewers and a 1.7 in adults 18-49.

by Denise Petski
April 24, 2017


Steve Harvey’s new daytime talk show "Steve" has been slotted for premiere on Tuesday, September 5, with Shane Farley boarding as executive producer. The nationally syndicated show has been cleared in over 95% of the U.S. and will air on NBC Owned Television Stations along with leading station groups across the country.

It was announced last November that Harvey’s "The Steve Harvey Show" was ending after five seasons, but he would remain a daytime fixture with a new talker to launch in September out of Los Angeles. The new show will tape on a new set at the Universal lot, and as previously reported, will be more celebrity-driven with more celebrity interviews, along with Harvey’s trademark comedy.



“As I embark on this new adventure, I’m excited to explore everything Los Angeles has to offer for this new show,” said Harvey. “Steve is going to be different than my current daytime show. The new location will allow me to welcome more celebrity guests and more importantly let me do what I enjoy doing best, being funny!”

Harvey is co-producing with IMG.

I havent ever watched it......

Steve Harvey has made himself a household name and ever since he was chosen to host Family Feud I think Steve Harvey has become a big huge success and with his new talk show Steve I think he will become a TV powerhouse because when you look at it I think 2016 will be a huge year for Steve Harvey because not only does he have Celebrity Family Feud Family Feud and Little Big Shots and another show for ABC I think Steve Harvey will be the king of TV in 2017. While many fans will be sad at the cancellation of Steve Harvey's talk show I think the new talk show Steve will help gain a new audience of fans to him. I hope this new talk show does great for Mr. Harvey when it debuts and make him even more successful than ever

Yet another successful vehicle for our man Steve Harvey. Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud is still going strong as well as Little Big Shots and Fox seems to have a New Year's Eve hit that challenges ABC's long-running New Year's Rockin' Eve.

Congrats to Steve Harvey on his talk show “Steve” returning for the sopohmore TV year
