Steve Harvey’s Mom Didn’t Think He’d Grow Up to Be Attractive
Game show host Steve Harvey, known for his dapper suits and expressive face, recently shared a funny anecdote on “Family Feud” about his mother’s brutally honest assessment of his looks growing up.
During a round where contestants had to “name something a bald guy does to look more attractive,” one answer, “shine his head,” prompted Harvey to recall his mother’s words. “Son,” she told him, “you’re not gonna be attractive when you grow up.
We don’t have attractive men in this family.” She advised him, however, that “every woman loves a well-dressed man,” encouraging him to focus on style and kindness.
This explains Harvey’s impeccable wardrobe on the show, which even the contestants acknowledged.
Other answers to the prompt included “shave his head bald,” grow facial hair,” and “dress well,” all of which amused Harvey. One answer, however, ruffled his feathers.
“He wears a hat,” a contestant suggested, much to the chagrin of the proudly bald host. “I’m not wearing no damn hat!”
he exclaimed, feigning outrage. Ironically, “wear a hat” was the number one answer.
The game continued with a twist. While Harvey’s family stumbled on their final answer, their opponents capitalized on the “baldness” theme, correctly guessing “toupee or wig” to snatch the win.
