Did I already tell you.........

that I really don't like the Steve Harvey Morning Show? I have been trying to get into it, but I'm still having a hard time getting into it. part of the reason I listen to it in the morning is because I only get one other morning talk show program on my radio in the morning and that station has Star and Buckwild on it and I absolutely despise them. I'd take Steve Harvey over them any day!

Last Friday Steve Harvey did his show here in Philly, just a couple of blocks from where I work, so I went up there to see it live. He came with my girl Jacque Reid and his other host that he calls his nephew Tommy. It was my first time seeing Jacque in person and though I was kind of far from her, she looked quite beautiful in person. I did like how they interacted with the audience, but after about 15 minutes I was done with Steve's bufoonery (not sure I spelled that right). One of the things I don't like about his show is that he seems to make a big deal out of the fact that Jacque has a college education and apparently he doesn't. Several times I've heard him refer to her as "white lady". Black folks need to stop that nonsense of associating college educated Black folks with Whites. As if only Whites are educated. I think that Jacque should find a better gig. She's a classy lady, with a good reputation for her journalism skills. She doesn't belong on a show like Steve Harvey's.

Another bone I have to pick with him is that the past week or so he keeps referring to "The Down Low". Today he was talking with Anita Baker I think it was, and he said something about "Ain't nobody on the down low up in here, I'm all man". As far as I'm concerned, the hetero's can keep him, because he's nothing special to look at. It's interesting how Black comedians will often use homophobic jokes in their comedy routines and make money off of doing it, but be quick to distance themselves from any kind of real association with gay folks. Mr. Harvey is no exception, as one of the regular characters he features on his show called Eugene, who does birthday shoutouts talks in a stereotypically gay voice. But don't say anything that might challenge Mr. Harvey's manhood, 'cuz he'll make it clear that he's "all man".
