Harvey Signs Off From L.A. Radio Show


Comedian Steve Harvey has signed off for the final time after five years hosting
a morning radio show that delivered one-liners, political commentary and
hip-hop.

"The Steve Harvey Morning Show" on KKBT-FM featured a mix of Harvey's
advocacy for the city's black community, ruminations on everyday life and
interviews with local and national political figures. The show, which also aired in
Dallas, ended Friday.

"As I close the door on this chapter, please know that the people of Los Angeles
have made me a better person, and I thank them for that," Harvey said in a
statement.

The WB network also announced this week it was canceling Harvey's TV variety
show, "Steve Harvey's Big Time Challenge."

KKBT general manager Sue Freund said Harvey wanted to spend more time
with his family and take a break, but was discussing possible future projects with
the station's parent company, Washington, D.C.-based Radio One Inc.

Harvey was featured in the 2000 standup comedy film "The Original Kings of
Comedy," and appeared last year in "You Got Served" and "Johnson Family
Vacation."
