1 COMMENT

  1. Steve Harvey’s English is not on par for someone who attended college. With his money and experience, you think he would have learned to say “their selves” and not speak broken English like “win they self…” I cringe every time he says it at the beginning of each Family Feud show, so I mute the volume until he finishes. However, I cannot watch this show regularly. It has become cheapened and disrespectful, similar to The Price Is Right.”
