Steve Harvey was talking to the Family Feud audience, and he told him the story about how his mom didn’t know he was famous.
The comedian said his mom didn’t accept that he made it until he was on the cover of Jet Magazine. When she saw his face on the mag, she bought 20 and spread them out on her coffee table. No one was allowed to touch them.
However, before that, the actor tried to show his mom he was a star by sending her $10,000 every week from his paycheck for Me and the Boys. His mom thought he was selling drugs, so she sent his dad out to talk to him. That is when Harvey explained that he made $55.000 every Thursday because he was the star of a sitcom. His dad didn’t believe his son, so he asked to stay until Thursday so that he “could watch these white folks give you 55 mother f@cking thousand.”
Of course, he let him stay, and his dad was so proud. He told everyone that story for the rest of his life!
I love stories like this!
