@@pakimanheaven6435 He was broke and living in his car and thinking it was finally time to give up trying to make it as a comedian. He got a call for a late night spot at the Apollo (performance above) and the start of a $200M journey.
yea but why black people gotta be funny, athletes or singers?? why the other race gets a $900,000 house while working a normal job but we gotta be superstars to afford it?? why a famous black person can't die with a good name?? these are questions
The Apollo hired Steve Harvey to be the regular host after this. Steve was the host for 8 years. Longer than any other host. I used to watch the show all the time.
The added context to this performance is that Public Enemy was performing that night and because one of them missed the show they would only perform one song. The crowd was pissed. Steve came out and saved the show with this performance. The Apollo producers never forgot that, and was on the top of their list when looking for a new host. If you watch Season 15 Episode 4 of Showtime at The Apollo they actually talk about this story on a spotlight segment.
Goes to show how fickle fate can be. If all of Public Enemy had shown up, Steve does not get invited, kill his set, and become the host of Showtime at the Apollo host. He may have kept doing comedy gigs on the road and maintained a career, but it might not have led to where he is now. Then again, maybe if he missed this break, he would have done another gig instead where a TV producer saw him and it lead to a No. 1 TV show that lasted for 8 years and made him as rich as Seinfeld! LOL Ya never know....
I don’t know why I got so emotional watching this. He really feels like an uncle to me. I listen to him every weekday morning. And to see where he came from to where he is now. Lawd have mercy!!
Here from the Club Shay Shay interview ❤ Seeing how confident he appears, you would never know he was going through what he was going through at the time. I see a bunch of comments saying it’s not funny and that’s understandable because I’ve seen a few comedy shows from the 80’s/early 90’s that’s not funny to me because some things you just have to know about to understand. I recently went to a comedy show and this one dude’s whole set was about cartoons and shows that used to come on in the 90s. Unless you knew those shows, none of it would’ve been funny. But for those of us that knew, we were in tears laughing so hard 😂
Same! I'm here to examine his hair. And I can tell he was definitely going bald in the middle here! I know after this, he started investing in those man units!💁🏾♀️
And to think that this was the beginning of it all. He was made for this. Steve keep get’n yo’ flowers cuz you’ve earned them all. Much love & The Lord’s Blessings💜
And Jamie Fox got Booed Off The Show This Same Night...jus goes to Show...Never Give Up...Jamie Fox is So Successful (Now) and im gon be successful too...now boo!!
Absolutely Jamie Fox and Steve Harvey are my biggest show business inspirations😀 almost like my entertainment muses I would be elated and honored to have my career mimic theirs
Catching up on 2024. I watch Club Shay Shay when Steve Harvey was first on.. He said he had a standing ovation, Nope!!! Especially with the Mike Tyson / Mitch green joke at the Apollo theater,The joke at the time was funny😂… But definitely there was no standing ovation… 🤦🏽♀️ 😫😳
@@Beignetboy yes he did all through the Steve Harvey show! He finally came out the hair closet later on. Took him awhile to be comfortable rocking a baldy

1:50 He was 32*
@@electropika7759 and? your point?
@@jidowu6019 My point is directly above your reply… as well as him copying someone else’s comment.
32
Dude went in front of a notoriously hostile crowd with a chance to shoot his shot and killed it. Nothing but respect.
THE STORY OF HIM JUST GETTING TO THE APOLO WILL MAKE YOU CRY 🔥🐐.
He went from being homeless to doing something that he loves. It doesn't matter where you start. It matters how you finish.
🙏🏿💡
He’s never stopped talking about this day. It changed his life forever. Respect to you Steve

True, I clicked on this video so fast cos I've been looking forward to seeing how he got his big break.
This is his turn back moment he talked about, this has changed his life forever ❤️
He went from living in his car to living large! NO EXCUSES!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! STEVE HAS PROVED IT!!!

Bloody legend Steve
This is the segment and joke that put them on TV for life
Had to come check this out after going to Club Shay Shay!!!
Watching his interview about his life and how he made it at 38 and it led me come Here
A moment to remember, and turning point for Harvey.
It crazy to think that he was homeless with no money at this point, just trying to make it. Awesome story of rags to riches.

Steve: "Mike Tyson in the news again"
Audience: Aw shit
This is the set he was talking about with Shannon Sharpe! Great interview, good set.
That’s crazy, he went from being a contestant to hosting
"It's too late!, Mike heard him!"
I'm here after the katt Williams interview on club shay shay I just has to see it for myself 😂 😂 😂
2 Legendary Comedians Sinbad and Steve Harvey!!! DAMN!!!
And to think he was about to quit standup right before this happened.
Yeah man. Glad he kept going 🙏🏽
Mitch’s eye sound like Samuel l Jackson on Afro samurai 😂 legendary comedy bit from mister Hightower aka Steve harvey
This dude should take over hosting Family Feud
😂
This is the first stand up comedy in apollo for Steve harvey you did pretty well good job
I remember watching this when it aired on a Sunday afternoon! Memories....
The comedic genius of Steve Harvey.
And to think that this was the beginning of it all. He was made for this. Steve keep get’n yo’ flowers cuz you’ve earned them all. Much love & The Lord’s Blessings💜
I think this guy might be going places.
Woooooooow I’ve heard him talk about this day never actually witnessed it woooow he killed it 👌
Steve knew he killed it look how he licked his lips 👅 at the end... like yea my foot in the door now 😎

I grew up watching Steve Harvey host Showtime at the Apollo.
To think this man had to hustle up everything he had to make it to the Apollo this day is remarkable… read his book “Jump” you’ll get it
Such an inspiration!
Him and Martin have to have the funniest gestures.
I just seen the Shannon Sharpe interview with Steve Harvey & he mention Mike Tyson joke in the interview killing it
He was going bald then! Lol
He had something special from the get go. Cant explain it
we love Steve. we wanna party with him. lol. c'mon steve! hit us up. we're a blast. cheers y'all!!!
This is the performance that launched his career.

@@IncredibleC85 time travel ;)
@@IkeMotivationStories 😂😂😂 that explains it
steve harvey looks alot like michael b jackso
2:14 "Aww shit" LOL
Hearing the back story of how he got to this soecific stage performance is inspiring. Watch Shannon Sharpe interview with him if you havent seen it.
That’s back before he started wearing those ridiculous toupees.
Steve looks like Chris Brown low-key
Catching up on 2024. I watch Club Shay Shay when Steve Harvey was first on.. He said he had a standing ovation, Nope!!! Especially with the Mike Tyson / Mitch green joke at the Apollo theater,The joke at the time was funny😂… But definitely there was no standing ovation… 🤦🏽♀️ 😫😳
I can see why Steve made it big!! 😂😂😂😂
Lmao his eye took over the interview
Peep the slight balding area😭
When did Steve Harvey have a bald spot like that?
Killd it! Straight outa CLE..
He said he got a standing ovation... that wasn't accurate
The length of this video probably couldn’t record it for us to see it in time…🤨🧐🤔
That was wild haha
Nigga made Me laugh under 5 minutes
I like Steve Harvey on his TV show.
3:27 😅😂😊
He told these exact same jokes on def comedy jam
I'm here frm club shay shay
I see a slight resemblance in a young Steve Harvey and Michael B Jordan's facial features
1:17 humor 😂😂😂😢😅😊
4:11 ❤
He's lucky Sand Man didn't get him off stage.
This is the first time he came to the apollo
His hair was thinning
All comedians dressed the same back in the day.
Naaah, who said "Ahh, shit" when they heard Mike Tyson 😭
LMBO,🤣🤣😂😂
He looks Good ❤
I wonder was his hair glued on in this clip like he had on the Steve Harvey Show?
This is back when he still had hair.
34 and boost really quickly
Key Glock look like a young Steve Harvey
Mike's alright with me.
You can see his bald spot. This is his hair before he started wearing his wig.
He wore a wig? 🤭
Steve never wore a wig😂
@@Beignetboy yes he did all through the Steve Harvey show! He finally came out the hair closet later on. Took him awhile to be comfortable rocking a baldy
You're right, he glued it on too
@@battlerapclass9408 When did he say this?? 😂
Club shay shay brought me here
This was a great set though.
Sinbad and Steve are the same age.
Steve went through hell to get to this show. Barley had enough money to get there.
