Steve Harvey on the loss of Bernie Mac... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Atlanta resident and radio host Steve Harvey worked with Bernie Mac for four years on the groundbreaking, hugely successful “Kings of Comedy” tour. He said the quartet (which also included D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer) earlier this year talked about a 10-year reunion tour but said Bernie wasn’t up for it, healthwise.

“I am just numb,” Harvey said Saturday afternoon after doing a succession of interviews to CNN and other media while in Chicago. On the tour, “B Mac killed every night. Every night! He would close the show. He was the go to guy.”

His best memory of Bernie on the tour? “At the end, he’d take off his handkerchief, wipe the sweat off his brow, throw it in the audience and open his arms wide open,” Harvey said. “That is the image I’ll always remember.”

He plans to spend his entire syndicated show, which airs mornings in Atlanta at Grown Folks 102.5, sharing memories with listeners about Bernie Mac on Monday. “Right now,” he said, “I’m flying back to Atlanta and I’m going to hug my family,”

That's a touching statement. I believe he's broken up about it. They worked together for years. Cedric The Entertainer and D.L Hughley as well. It's a tough loss for them. Thanks for posting, Brian.

Not a problem, it must've ripped the heart out of the "Kings of Comedy." You spend all that time on the road with one another, it must be like losing a brother.

Everyone's talking about Steve now because he and Bernie had serious beef over the "Ocean's" films and actually hadn't spoken in several years, but now that Bernie's gone, Steve is the main one mugging for the camera as if they were best buddies. Bernie spoke on the "Ocean's" incident himself, so its definitely true.

I believe that Steve Harvey's grief is sincere. Even good friends fight, especially good friends. If a person dies when they've had a falling out with someone, it doesn't take their pain away or make it any less real. I think it's a lot of hooey anyway, cooked up by Steve Harvey detractors.

Yea I agree. So what if they had a fight...it doesn't mean Steve didn't care about Bernie. I hear the same thing about TC all the time concerning Suzanne and John . That she didn't care for him. It is all a bunch of hooey. Friends fight...it doesn't mean they stop caring. It just happens sometimes.
