It seems unimaginable that Steve Harvey would ever retire from his role as host of Family Feud.
Yet, if reports are accurate, if he doesn’t moderate his behavior with contestants, he might find himself pushed out the door, whether he likes it or not.
While Steve’s hosting style has always been flamboyant, producers are reportedly “concerned” that his behavior is crossing lines that even his charm can’t rectify.
Steve Harvey’s ‘Family Feud’ Execs ‘Concerned’ After Wild Comments At Contestants
For over two decades, Steve Harvey has hosted Family Feud to the delight of fans worldwide. His most devoted fans include everyone from Kanye West to Meagan Thee Stallion.
The latter recently appeared on the season premiere of Celebrity Family Feud, and her wild answer during Fast Money sent Steve over the edge – in a good way.
However, the same cannot be said of Steve during regular play. Over the years, Steve has often struggled to hide his annoyance with contestants who provide “stupid” answers. Typically, these interactions are humorous, but lately, things have taken a turn.
“Steve’s king of the hill and has become an intrinsic part of the show’s success,” shared an insider with Closer Weekly. “But insulting contestants and calling their answers stupid right to their face is the last thing people need.”
Steve Harvey Pushed To Retire Over Bad Behavior?
As of now, fans can relax. There are no reports that Steve is considering retirement or that the show is forcing him to do anything … yet.
But the reality is, if Steve can’t control his emotions with contestants, he may find himself right behind Pat Sajak as the next game show host “pushed to retire.”
If the rumors are to be believed, Pat was actually pushed out of Wheel of Fortune after four decades due to his irritability with players towards the end.
“Pat has put his foot in it one too many times and offended people with his off-color humor and temperamental behavior,” an insider told OK! in the fall of 2023. “Network brass and top-level producers have come down hard on him and read him the riot act.”
By the following year, Pat was out as host, with Ryan Seacrest set to replace him at the end of 2024.
But What Has Steve In Such A Mood?
Steve being a curmudgeon with contestants over ridiculous answers is nothing new. It’s part of what makes the show entertaining.
Why then do execs feel like he’s crossing the line? And what’s going on with him that’s keeping him from recognizing that he’s towing that line?
According to the Closer insider, it has everything to do with his family. No, he isn’t getting a divorce – people love to speculate on that – but there’s still some family drama he’s contending with.
“It’s got people around him panicky,” said the insider. “They’re concerned Steve’s working too hard. Maybe there’s pressure at home that’s getting to him and making him short-tempered.”
One of those pressures may be his eldest daughter, Lori Harvey, who has become a celebrity in her own right over the last few years.
“Lori’s had a high-profile love life that seems to be going nowhere, and Steve wonders when she’ll ever settle down,” adds the insider. “Everyone’s hoping this is just a phase and not Sajak-gate all over again!”
Here’s hoping it all works out for him!
