Steve Harvey's Infamous Hosting of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"

Before he hosted Family Feud (but was already signed to host), Steve Harvey cracked over the "Who Wants to be the Millions" show (or whatever it's called). And surprisingly, he was way better at hosting it than Regis, Meredith OR Cedric ever was! Here are some of his best moments on the TV!

I came to see this after watching Keenan on SNL parody it.

[@666Brago]

I'm glad that did not become a full-time gig for Harvey. He just seemed uncomfortable and spent way too much time promoting his book.

[@occono3543]

The timers era was a bad time for him to be a guest host. It would have worked a bit better when the guests could spend hours on the chair

mayim bailik(Amy from bbt) was on this episode(also on the title) how is no one noticing that

[@mchawk315]

Yikes, at least he fits in on Family Feud.

[@danhantheman]

Aiya fiya fee fi fo

[@francesca7093]

I love Steve Harvey. But I think this game is too close to a million dollar. He's too nervous to host this game. He didn't flow good. He flows better at Family Feud because the most contestants make is $20,000 at the time. He can't handle the million dollar sitting so close to him.

[@logantew9983]

He's better then Cedric The Entertainer, & he's not a bad host for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, he's better on Family Feud though. I personally feel he makes Family Feud a lot better. At first I would watch Family Feud a lot with the host being Richard Carn but then all of a sudden the spark went away, & I didn't want to watch Family Feud at all for a while, then Steve Harvey came along & I looked at one more time just for old times sake & that there was nothing else to look at, & I actually found myself laughing at his jokes. So I started looking at it more often & he gave Family Feud that spark again.

[@NightHawk12to81]

I went the other direction. I thought Family Feud was great with Richard Karn, and then when Steve Harvey came along, I thought the show wasn't good anymore. I find him annoying.

[@logantew9983]

Well back when I had my original spark I loved Richard Karn, used to think he was the best host ever. Now that I look back on it, he was a good host but not a great one. Louis Anderson was the worst. The best hosts were are Dawson, Combs, & Steve Harvey. John O' Hurley was a pretty good one too.

[@NightHawk12to81]

I honestly think Steve Harvey is the worst.

[@logantew9983]

To me he's hilarious. I know there are other people supporting you too. I'm just glad that I do as well.
