What to Expect From 'Steve Harvey' in Daytime

"Life can get pretty confusing," Harvey said in the show's first promo (above). "That's why I'm coming to daytime. I'm here to help. You and I will get through this together."

Another promo reminds viewers that Harvey's more than just a comedian, author and radio and game show host. 

"Did you know, Steve Harvey is also happily married, raising seven kids, always searching for the perfect diet?" asked the voiceover. "And he's learned from his mistakes! Anything that you're going through at home, Steve probably is too."

Harvey expanded on that message in a recent interview.

“I just have a life experience that I’m willing to share, and to be open about my flaws, my faults and my shortcomings,” Harvey told The Boston Herald. “I think I’m a pretty good example of how you can really, really get it wrong. I mean really, really mess it up, and then get it right…  I’m just a common sense guy.”

Harvey is looking for guests via the Steve Harvey TV facebook page, which also features videos of him answering life questions and promises, "Harvey will entertain, inform and inspire, covering a vast range of relatable topics such as marriage, dating, finance, parenting, workplace issues, friendship and the daily dramas we face throughout our lives, all with his unique comedic spin."

A look at the stories he wants to hear give a better indication of what viewers can expect.

Of course, Harvey is also a funnyman. He's giving up his stand up life, with his final performance scheduled for Aug. 2, and planning to bring those laughs to daytime. He's so confident he'll be the funniest pick on the daytime lineup that one of his promos simply features two African American women and redhead laughing, with Harvey chiding, "Wait until the show starts! Save some of that."
