Steve Harvey and Dr. Phil: From “Family Feud” Face-off to Media Moguls
Comedian and host Steve Harvey recently put Dr. Phil in his place during a celebrity edition of “Family Feud.”
When Dr. Phil offered a less-than-precise answer to a question about sea creatures, Harvey jokingly reminded him, “This ain’t your show!”
The playful exchange highlighted the pair’s camaraderie.
This friendly rivalry takes on a new dimension with the recent announcement of Harvey joining Dr. Phil’s new media venture, Merit Street Media. Harvey will contribute his expertise as a talent scout and production expert, and also holds an equity partnership in the company.
The two have a long-standing friendship, and this collaboration further cements their professional relationship. Dr.
Phil expressed his admiration for Harvey’s humor and dedication to helping others, while Harvey emphasized his enthusiasm for empowering individuals through entertainment. Merit Street Media has acquired the rights to Harvey’s former talk show, “Steve,” and will also feature a documentary special highlighting the work of the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation.
Dr. Phil’s move to launch Merit Street Media follows the conclusion of his long-running show with Paramount Global and CBS Media Ventures.
All past episodes of “The Dr. Phil Show” will now be available through Merit TV, consolidating Dr.
Phil’s content under one platform. This strategic decision positions the new company for growth, leveraging Dr.
Phil’s established brand.
