Steve Harvey of Family Feud

They claim he's from Welch. Anyone remember him?

Re: Steve Harvey of Family Feud

I found the following info on Wikipedia.com)

Harvey was born on January 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia, and is the son of Jesse Harvey, a coal miner, and Eloise Vera. His first name is Broderick, named after actor Broderick Crawford of the TV series Highway Patrol.Harvey's family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, living on East 112th Street, which was renamed Steve Harvey Way in 2015. He graduated from Glenville High School in 1974.

Shortly after high school, he attended Kent State University and West Virginia University and is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Harvey was an infant when his family left Welch, so no one in Welch would especially recall him except any close family and friends.

Re: Steve Harvey of Family Feud

Richard may be right. My understanding was that Steve was a little older, but still preschool when his family left Welch. Steve Harvey does show interest in Welch and West Virginia. His photo is in the hall of famous West Virginians at the Pipestem Resort Lodge. Somewhere I saw a clip of a Family Feud episode where one of the families included a pastor who had recently taken a church mission team to Welch to help with local families in need. He brought it up because he had heard there that Welch was Steve Harvey's birthplace. Mr. Harvey responded affirmatively that Welch was indeed his original home, and told the pastor he would be interested in helping support that mission if they were to go to Welch again.
