Steve Harvey returns to L.A. radio
August 10th, 2009 - 6:42 pm ICT by IBNS ( Leave a comment )Aug 10 (IBNS) Actor, comedian and radio personality Steve Harvey is back after being dropped by KDAY, the comedian’s syndicated morning show returns on KJLH.
And that voice returns to L.A. Ten weeks after being dropped by KDAY-FM (93.5), his 6-10 a.m. weekday program returns on KJLH-FM (102.3), the urban contemporary radio station owned by Stevie Wonder’s Taxi Productions, reports the LA Times.
“The two Stevies are making it happen,” he quipped.
Harvey and KJLH officials hoped that what happens is more akin to the experience he had in his first L.A. radio venture, not the one at KDAY.
“L.A. has a dear place in my heart. I wouldn’t have a nationally syndicated show if it had not been so successful locally in L.A. It was a huge monster of a show in L.A. that is now a huge syndicated show,” he said.
Harvey, 53, began his career as a stand-up comedian in the mid-1980s, which led him to star in two well-received TV sitcoms, including “The Steve Harvey Show,” which ran on the WB for six years from 1996 to 2002.
Harvey then tokk his plunge into the world of film, where he acted in “Johnson Family Vacation” in 2004 and lent his voice to “Racing Stripes” in 2005.
KJLH’s ratings are generally lower than KDAY’s, but Harvey isn’t worried that his KDAY history will repeat itself.
