Funnyman Steve Harvey gets serious on Black Family Channel's
new series "STRAIGHT UP" and gives viewers insight about his
childhood to his struggling days as an amateur comedian to the superstar that
he is today. The Original King of Comedy also discusses his relationship with
God. "I'm in a space where my life is changing for the better. "I want to be a just man. Count on me for
"righteousness and goodness," said Harvey.
Harvey's film,
"DON'T TRIP...HE AIN'T THROUGH WITH ME YET" hits select theaters on
Friday March 17. The hilarious, PG-rated stand-up performance was filmed
"live" at Bishop TD Jakes' MegaFest in Atlanta,
GA last year. Harvey, a six-time NAACP
Image Award winner, playfully pokes fun on "church life" to a packed
audience filled with 16,000 members within the faith-based community. Harvey
"keeps it real" through laughter and humor while delivering
hysterical, gut-busting comedy about everyday situations that are culturally
relevant to African-American families and urban communities.
Black Family Channel's new interview series "STRAIGHT
UP" will continue to bring frank, provocative and enlightening
conversations in the upcoming months with Dave Chappelle,
Star Jones and many more! For additional information, visit
