Although Steve Harvey is known as a funny-man first and foremost, sometimes he moves his audience in an entirely different way. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, via YouTube, the beloved TV star shared that, on a recent family vacation in France, he was shocked when the local DJ started playing the theme tune to "Family Feud." Even more surprisingly, "everybody in that restaurant knew that song, and I started crying."
When one of his daughters wondered why Harvey was getting emotional, he admitted, "Because I'm a hood guy. I'm from Cleveland. I come from nothing." Harvey added, "These people are doing the 'Family Feud' theme song in the south of France. I went to Glenville High School. I have a damn diploma. It just messed me up, man."
Fans watching the clip on YouTube were moved by Harvey's story, with one writing, "Always so humble and never forgets where he came from," while another added, "Steve has worked super hard in life and deserves ALL THE SUCCESS AND LOVE." A third admitted, "What a touching story. I'm not crying, you're crying."
Harvey has been open about all the hard work it took to get where he is today, telling People in 2013 there was a time, after his first marriage ended, that Harvey ended up homeless and living in his car for three years. Thankfully, "even in my darkest days I had faith it would turn around." Now, he inspires others.
