Comedian Steve Harvey made himself known through a variety of avenues during the late '90s. He appeared on his own TV series, The Steve Harvey Show (playing a '70s soul singer turned high-school teacher), starred in the HBO special One Man, hosted the perennial comedy favorite It's Showtime at the Apollo, and earned a record contract through Polygram for his 1997 album debut, Live...Down South Somewhere. ~ John Bush, Rovi
