Popular comedian and beloved game show host, Steve Harvey, has teamed up with another well-known television personality to create one of the most impressive startup networks in recent history. The host of "Family Feud" is teaming up with Dr. Phil McGraw in a strategic partnership with Merit Street Media, where he will serve as an equity partner. The first project on their agenda is an exciting docu-style special that will follow Harvey's Steve Harvey Mentoring Program. This program, held at a week-long camp in Georgia, aims to empower young men and equip them with the tools and inspiration to become positive leaders in their communities and families.
In a written statement, Harvey expressed his excitement about this new venture, saying, "Partnering with my good friend on such an innovative network allows me to continue my mission of empowering and inspiring individuals through entertainment." He also shared that the upcoming docu-style special, which will air this fall, is especially meaningful to him as it highlights the impactful work of his foundation, the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation. He believes in the power of mentorship to transform lives and is eager to share this journey with viewers. Together, he and Dr. Phil hope to make a positive impact like never before.
With this new partnership, Merit Street will handle production, talent development, and on-air services for Harvey. Together, they are set to become one of the most prominent startup networks in modern times. As part of the deal, Merit Street has also acquired over 300 episodes of Harvey's previous syndicated talk show, "Steve," which aired from 2017 to 2019.
Dr. Phil, who announced the launch of Merit Street last November, also expressed his excitement about working alongside his longtime friend. "Steve and I have been personal friends for over a decade, and it's always the best experience when we work together," he shared. He also praised Harvey's sense of humor, saying, "It's easy to say that he's the funniest human I've ever met." But beyond that, he admires Harvey's kindness and passion for helping others, which he believes are unmatched.
In addition to the partnership, Dr. Phil has also recently premiered his new show, "Dr. Phil Primetime," on Feb. 26. With two of the most beloved personalities in the entertainment industry joining forces, it's safe to say that Merit Street Media is off to a fantastic start. Fans of both Steve Harvey and Dr. Phil can look forward to more exciting projects and collaborations in the future as they continue to spread positivity and make a difference in the world.
