Steve Harvey Just Got VERY Real With an Audience Member About Getting Fired

From Good Housekeeping

• Steve Harvey has recently dealt with his talk show Steve getting canceled on NBC and losing his Little Big Shots hosting gig.

• Still, he's staying optimistic, as his conversation with an audience member shows.

Steve Harvey may not have a ton of time left on his talk show Steve, but he's definitely making the best use of it.

News broke earlier this month that the Family Feud host's daytime talk show on NBC was getting canceled to make room for Kelly Clarkson's hour-long program launching in September 2019. And just two days later, the network announced that Steve was no longer going to host Little Big Shots and that Melissa McCarthy was taking over.

But even in light of this bad news, Steve is keeping his head up and continuing to do what he loves - giving advice to others. On Instagram, the 62-year-old star reposted a video from his talk show's account of him having an intimate conversation during a commercial break with an audience member. Particularly, the audience member wanted to know how Steve has stayed motivated after facing rejection.

"Well first of all, let's look at the layoff for what it was [referring to the audience member, who apparently got fired from a job]. It was time to go, for you," Steve began. "And sometimes, man, we don't jump. Sometimes we get pushed."

He continued: "You see, God is really fair, and when he wants you to do something else and you won't do it, he'll bring about a set of circumstances that will cause you. So now, there's obviously something that you should be doing instead of what you was doing."

At the end of the clip, Steve asked the audience member what he thought his gift was. When he said he was good in the kitchen, Steve asked him why he was working at a computer store then.

It's clear that Steve felt personally touched with this conversation, as he wrote on his post that it felt like "watching me talk to myself."

Steve's wife of 11 years, Marjorie Harvey, posted another inspiring video of the talk show host just a few days ago. In it, her husband directly addresses his show getting canceled to the live studio audience. While it's clear that Steve is sad to say goodbye, he seemed optimistic about what this means for his life in the days to come.

"You gotta understand how it works. Your life ain't nothing but a book. I happen to be 62 years old," Steve explained. "In this 62nd chapter, I got my finger on the corner of the page. All I'm doing is I'm about to turn it. I can't wait to see what God's got for me on that other page."

So good to hear Steve is looking forward to that next page - because his fans most definitely are.
