- Steve Harvey CRIES Crying Steve Harvey Breaks Down During Surprise Reunion Steve Harvey CRIES Crying over the Couple That Took him In BEFORE He was Famous
Steve Harvey gets surprised by the Cleveland, OH couple that helped him when he was just starting his career. According to Steve the couple gave him his first contract for his carpet cleaning business and then let him travel to do stand-up comedy shows using their travel agency account and he used over $11,000. Steve says he has been looking for the couple for years but could not find them.
Daytime talk shows often stage emotional reunions, but what happens when the host is the one surprised?
During a taping last week, Steve Harvey took an unexpected satellite call from someone wishing him a happy 56th birthday. As the man came on screen, Harvey immediately choked up.
Returning shows: Where we left off
"This is Rich Liss from Orlando, Florida," the man said. "Do you still love me, baby?"
After a brief silence, Harvey finally said, "Hey man, I love you."

Harvey soon explained, "I was 26 years old, struggling, I didn't have nothing and these people owned a furniture store in Cleveland and these people took me in and gave me my first contract with my little carpet cleaning company. When I was 27, I became a comedian and they gave me an account at their travel agency...I've been looking for you for years! Thank you. You bailed me and I never forgot it."
Just the fact these people didn’t look for steve when he got money, shows they did it with integrity because they cared. Mann you just made me cry.. what a feeling 😢
Word
With all his money and the internet these days. It’s a wonder why he didn’t find mention these people long time ago First time hearing this stuff.
@@rozamaioran206 he said it himself man just lost contact and couldn't find them when he did look
@@jonathancasais6491 ok but maybee he was embarrassed because like he said he ran up a bill money. If that was me and I became famous I would been found them long time ago.
True
The fact that the dude you took in made it in life because ya'll helped him... that's a reward within itself.
Thomas Christopher White and never looked back to say thank you .... yeah .... feels warm and tingly lol
That was huge Thomas
Foxdiesolid He said he'd been looking for them for years. So yeah it does feel warm and tingly.
Thomas Christopher White people don't understand that. they think its greed. those people don't care about getting their money back. they are just happy that Steve made it and they were a part of that.
Thomas Christopher White 100% yes.
They didn't wanted his money, they wanted him to succeed
Exactly
This made my grown ass cry, can't imagine that feeling as he saw richs face
Ong bro I feel ya
Ain’t nothing wrong with crying
@@psilocybinvibin502 I know, I never said there was
Me to…shows we are human beings who haven’t lost touch with our hearts, that’s all. These people helping him - no finer example of Christ’s love !
swear bro
They saw greatness in you Steve. Sometimes that's all you need.
Greatness? I respectfully disagree. I believe they saw into his humanity. Not greatness but humanity, my friend. Each and everyone of us merits such loving-kindness, no matter how useful we are deemed by others.
@@frankstaredI think this is what he might have meant. Each one of us has "greatness" and someone who sees that "greatness," whatever it is, or someone deserving humanity can really help a person do what they want to do.
Everyone has greatness.
In Steve Harvey's case: become a comedian.
@@Victor-tl4dk I am not a fan of superlatives, but I can see how for many it makes things comprehensible. That being said, it is important to grow and that can look like challenging one's appropriated binarisms to embrace nuance and shading. To me life is neither good nor bad, black nor white, sacred nor profane, etc., as it is described by orthodox preachers, superhero films or governments attempting to manipulate people for their own nefarious ends-control, profit and oppression.
Someone believing in you makes literally all the difference 🎉❤😂😢
@@frankstared I don’t thing that’s being disregarded but I think you might be mistaking talent for “greatness” in your argument…. While we should and CAN all be Kind to one another… doesn’t mean every single person is talented… that’s why it’s call.. Talent..😅🎉😂❤
Another person may have birthed Steve, but that couple birthed the Steve we know today.
This was good
Wow your comment is so old.. i hope you're still kicking. 👍👍
@@Mr_Techroid geezum crows I just spit out my damn drink laughing at this comment
@@Mr_Techroid 😂😂
Wow! What a statement! Well put!
This was one of the most emotional moments I've seen on his show. I almost cried myself
I cried just watching God bless those who help and God bless Steve for not forgetting them 🙏
@@jayleendiaz1736 I agree
I cracked and burst crying when both of them said i love you man
@@miskokral
But I am seriously wondering how he was unable to find them? I mean he must have at least thought to repay the money that they gave him.
people like you are unable to just allow things to be good. goddamn@@onlythetruth883
Those people didnt even contacted Steve even if he's already rich and famous. They are happy far away looking after him while he is enjoying his success. Those people has the purest of hearts!!
When he cried...that hit deep man. Thats a man with a story right there, and only God and he knows what he's been through.
Not being from America, I didn't know Steve has had a difficult childhood, I always thought that he was just a funny guy. But after seeing a couple of these video's I think it's really touching that he got so far, made something of himself, despite his difficult childhood. Everybody follow your dreams and I hope that they all may come true someday...
That's understandable if you find the material important.
Look at your values and they will reflect to you what you find meaningful.
Also Steve is one of the only few who really struggled i mean there's a lot of famous people who said I'm struggling and all that but in reality when compared to Steve's struggle it's just insanely different and he's also a defination that you don't need education to make it
@@kima5401 That being said, a humanistic ecucationn is the foundation for not only growth, community service but also wellness. Take care.
A lot of comedians had dark childhoods and learned humor as a coping strategy or a way to lighten the moods of angry people around them.
I pray your dreams come true as well my friend. God bless you for saying that.
How wonderful to see a man who can cry, show emotion and still be a man.
0:24 when you run into someone you haven’t seen in a while that you owe money to.
That’s a funny comment 😂
😂🤣
Awww.... I Cried
He never forgot where he came from ! (y)
*wild bad bitch appeared*
TheYorkMan you was fast with that one
Sure he did........Lol On purpose not to pay them back.
Steve's middle name is TOM.
I think that the tears meant the he was just reminded about where he came from, reality is if he hadn't forgotten he would mention them every time he could, well, at least once before haha, I've listen to his comedy for years and speeches and radio shows, this is the first time I've heard about it
I am confused. He couldn't find this couple for the past 30yrs to pay them back?
Yeah, he is full of shit.
It's the point that they called him on his birthday. Plus, he hasn't had much contact with them over the years because he is so famous.
why are you confused? people lose contact sometimes and thru a blessing they are reunited.If you paid attention to the video they never said ONE thing about money.God helped him thru them/they were blessed in return.
IsabellaSleeps
Seems like more incompitent people are coming out of the caves daily. Everybody at some point in life has lost contact with friends and loved ones,only to be blessed to be reunited later.Anybody full of $@*#%* its your empty head.
Robert Cannon You feel better now? Got that bit of internet rage out of your system? Good, now consider - he claims to have searched for them for years, but his office lackeys found them in less than a week (says so in the full episode) so NO, he did not search for them. Don't be mad at me because I have the ability to figure out obvious bullshit.
Omg people on here is so cruel, Those were real emotions and anyone with a heart and soul can see that. If you don't like him why are ya'll watching this anyway? Just move on. Another thing stop with the oh he's racist, all comedians talk about all races now if u get offended by it then don't watch the show as simple as that. As for those stating he did not look for them and that he left them in debt and moved on, how are you so sure? Did they tell u he left them high and dry and how do u know he's not going to repay them now with even more than 11 stacks. Ijs some people don't want to be found so maybe they reached out to his people because they were ready to be found. Those were real tears! So everyone who is coming on a beautiful post stating negativity on here has no heart. Maybe some of you have to go through it in order to understand. Learn humility people!!!!!!!
Cammibaby signing out!
Well said!!!
I am with you. I watch videos on here and people can turn into animals. Apologies to animals! You have to search for these clips. Why then, start getting sooo nasty? Steve Harvey seems to be one of the most authentic celebrities out there. Goes to show that some people just NEED to find something to hate. I am just really blessed to not feel that way. It is a blessing. I can't even imagine wanting to be so miserable.....THanks for saying what you did, JAe.
JAe trilogy. I agree 100 what a great man. And one hell of a role model.
Show you right. For those that don't know it, that is real emotion.
Those are tears of gratitude from one human being to another.
MLA citation
Damm man, you made me cry along with you. These people really LOVED YOU. They had trust and believed in you - - - and they didn't expect to be paid back either. What great people. It tugs at your heart strings. This is "Real!" You are one lucky SOB. :-)
Amen
Jumpoff A.
Every single comment is bigging up Steve.
They just showed, unintentionally albeit; that they are more worthy than Steve.
He should have been the one to find them. He did at the very least, owe them money.
@@Momnitt
I hope that Amen is saying that he should really have found them before they found him.
I've watched this 100 times and still tear up.
I got money now 😭
Still tear up right !
@@ANTIStraussian
I am tearing up; wondering how he was unable to find them, and that they were the ones to make the first move.
@@onlythetruth883 they retired from Ohio and moved to Florida.
@@ANTIStraussian
Sorry. There was nothing about his demeanor that suggested that he earnestly tried to find them.
But that aside. What really concerns me is that almost the entire comment section is accolading Steve showing a lack of understanding of who the real heroes are. I am deeply troubled by that.
“hey man, you bailed me, man, i never forgot it” made me cry
There’s no words he could say to explain his gratitude for them
Steve Harvey really is one of the worlds greatest people. Hands down. No questions asked. He is humble, funny, family oriented, with a heart of platinum!
World needs more Steve Harveys
They was like "yo, homie, we were looking for you too. I gots a bill for $11, 000 with your name on it, sucka!"
lololololol
I truly wonder if he A: "sent the jet to pick them up to come to the show."
and
B: Repaid the debt.
Lmfao yoooo weakkk
🤣🤣💀
😆💯
I never get tired of these videos. Real people with real emotions. Bless them all.
I am 25 years old, like young Steve, i have nothing on me right now. Almost gave up and want to gave up, then Steve said he is 26 have nothing on him. This video gave me a hope. If Steve have absolutely nothing at 26 and he has a lot now, i can be like him too. I still have one year. Thank you so much Steve Harvey.
❤❤❤
26 now? Doing better I hope, if not there is still plenty of time. You'll make it.
that made me cry!
Richlist knew exactly how much of a bill he ran up and he hasn’t forgotten 😂
He wants that money back with 30 years worth of interest 😂… Jokes aside this was a heartfelt video, really powerful to see. Considering how successful Steve is today.
So often we say we have nothing, but when you have love, you have everything you will ever need.
It's always the little things that people do for others that makes them be a better, and bigger person in the world.
Don't let your heart grow cold.
True but 11k isnt a little thing
What a lovely couple , you can see from the pure emotion how much they helped him , especially when he had nothing,
I cry every time I see this! You NEVER forget the ppl who was riding with you when you don't have shit!
Wow.. its obvious that this couple here had no motives, no hidden agendas. They genuinely helped out a struggling man out of the goodness of their hearts. Look how many years later after he became successful they reunite. Tear jerking moment.. I won't lie. Good folks are still around.
I’m crying. Biggest reward that a couple strangers that took Steve in with no reward in return, only to see him succeed in life. And it made me see how humble Steve still is to this day. Steve Harvey is definitely one of the greatest in Our lifetimes
Subie _ Lou
That showed, how humble Steve is??
You got to be kidding. By Steve's own admission he could not have made a big enough effort to find them. I find that very very disappointing. Offering them tickets to his show was so patronizing; that I hoped they refused it. He should have said;-
I am flying down to see you tomorrow. I owe you money and with loads of interest.
Imagine believing in someone so much you let them run up bills under their name and give you the opportunity. This is it ❤️
Very touching. I want to see the reunion and the hugs. See what they have to say about when they helped him and him giving them a suitcase of money~
I admire Mr. Steve Harvey for not forgetting who helped him when he needed it the most. Many times i have helped people and after when they see you again they pretend that they dont know you anymore.
0:44 that’s that “damn they found me, now I gotta cough up that dough!” 😂
Simply beautiful... Never forget those who were always there for you!
U still there?
Gotta love a person who admits his struggles before his success
I love Steve! This really made me cry. I love to see emotion in men & I just wanted to hug Steve so tight! Glad you found them, Steve!
That's so touching & yes we're crying. Steve's awesome
Wow....u never know what people went through to get where they are....what a blessing!!
SO TRUE
This is awesome. It reminds me that that every single thing we do for/to others, good or bad, multiplies and reverberates in ways we can't predict...forever. The smallest kindness or courtesy can sometimes mean everything to someone & you'll likely never know it in this world.
Beautiful...I'm tearing up. GOD BLESS U ALL
wow thats was amazing!!! Your a real man Steve Harvery, Go ahead and Bless them people for Blessing you and being there for you when you was down!!!
Ive been looking for you 4 years.. now that is hard to believe 🤪
I really love moments like this! It's those loving acts like this couple helping Steve out in bad times that really can make ALL the difference to help someone stand up and have hope again. Of course it takes effort on the other persons side but if you work at it to build a strong foundation in your life you have the ability to do more for people the stronger your foundation is. Doing things for people and benefiting others with the skills and things you have no matter how small is what life is all about. It's how we love...loving the people around you makes you feel so much better than anything else out there. And it's much more lasting than things like sex, substances, eating, entertainment of any kind. Even though those things can bring you some temporary happiness/relief it's NOTHING like doing all you can to be the strongest you can be and along the way helping others with what you can. It's just awesome...and it produces moments like this which is the true reward!
THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL.
I love Steve Harvey. He deserves everything he gets for working so hard & never giving up. Love his talk show too.
He really is a passionate caring person. I like Steve Harvey. Good man, and he's absolutely hilarious, good comedian too.
What a bloke Steve is he deserves everything he's got 👏
Him saying he had nothing at age 26 and me being 26 makes me feel a lot better about having nothing at this age.
Comparing urself with others will do nothing it doesnt matter what age you gotta get ur life on track. And ur capable of doing it at a very young age
He but he started grinding like crazy… you gotta get to work now
Steve Harvey has never forgotton the love and sacrifice he was blessed with then…and he's carried it forward ever since….Blessings to the family that took him in, and blessings to you Steve…God Bless!
Semper Fi
man stfu homie he left them 11,000 dollars in debt fuck you talking about. and for him not to find them years and years back. the people that OWN a fuckn company and he just don't know where they live anymore. cmon man wtf kind of shit is that. you and i both know it aint that hard to talk to fuckn siri on your iPhone or look it up on the internet or fuckn go to cleveland. i mean WTF
Carlos Cavazos Perhaps, now hear me out now, perhaps this person had no idea the premise of this video... They saw a touching video and made a comment on it. Relax, homie.
perhaps he's blind and listened to the fuckn audio.
Carlos Cavazos Let's see, they now are in Florida, not in Chicago. They moved across the country. How stupid are you fucking moron.
And you prove you are the fucking moron I said you are. But maybe grow up, move out of mommy's basement, then talk. You don't even know how life can get in the way of any plan, but what do I expect from a dumb fuck with no idea about what life outside mommy's basement is like.
I just cried like a baby!! He may be very wealthy now...but his Heart is Always Pure!!❤
This is why I love Steve Harvey, he is real!
Man I love Steve.........he is the realest man. And of course I cant hold back the rears either! Love you Steve!
The people who loved Steve. He remembers it all. Bless you all.
XxRight TwixX
Steve didn't remember nothing.
He should have been the one to find them!!
Steve has such a pure heart I love him
How beautiful.. this really touched my heart especially because I’ve been struggling and I hope to be in a similar position as Steve when I get older
Life can be a storm indeed, but the further you go the stronger you are. Keep at it, Im sure you will find your own little piece of heaven on this blue rock.
I always love this clip. I remember when I first came across it many moons ago. I had only known him for his funny clips, you know the ones on Family Feud and other places. There's something about seeing such a genuine and pure moment - the couple minutes here are a microcosm of the best of humanity, what we could be if we could get around our stupid hang-ups/biases/fears/assumptions/greed.
I appreciate him for being so open to showing emotion as a man. He has a good hesrt
Whenever I’m down I look at this video and have a cry, Steve is so humble to these angels. They truly did love him.
Steve...you deserve it...they saw in you what most people see..a genuine need to survive to help others survive...thank you
"we can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone." -Ronald Reagan
You could tell that Steve was reminiscing and having flashbacks of hard times and his friends really be in there for him that's love!
theres still good people in this world. THIS IS JUST GREAT
That was so special Steve God Bless they're hearts and yours. God is good all tha time. Amen Amen Amen
So Steve couldn't find them for all those years but somehow the studio did when they didn't know anything about them? Makes perfect sense.
Goosebumps , Aww 🥰
The impact we make in people’s life is through sharing !!!
I love this & Steve Harvey. I have a whole new found love & respect for him. Wow this was powerful!
In all honesty, he rich for a while now. If he wanted to search for them he could have a long time ago.
This was a great moment, but this is Steve Harvey, He has A LOT of money now, and if he really cared about them as much as he showed he could of found these two people. He said he had been looking for them but you really think he couldn't find them?
well, if you can't find a plane with the whole world footing the bill...
They moved around. In the video, he stated that he was picked up by them in Cleveland and they eventually wound up in Orlando. Unless he can hire the FBI to track them down, he was pretty much lost.
If something can't be done, it can't be done no matter how much money you have. And besides his reaction seemed genuine enough so I don't think he intentionally failed to find them even if there was some way he could have. Either that or he's a really damn good actor.
Do you think his producers magically found them? Steve obviously told someone about them. How would anyone know to look for them
Right in the feels...
So heartwarming and it got me crying. Such kindness and one never to forget.
OMG i cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grow a set, sissy!
One line that Steve said that hits me "I NEVER FORGET IT"
Man this made me cry....I love this dude
So sweet. I wish a lot of people can have the same heart. My hair food industry needs people like these.
One cannot hide deep feelings that come straight from the heart or soul,it is called LOVE.God Bless,Jesus Loves You all.
My sweet Jesus. That was unreal. Thank you, Steve. For being Steve.
Jesus is coming,Look Busy.
im holding back tears ... this video is so powerful
You made me cry Steve with your story and with the kindness of this couple…they have a big heart…GOD BLESS THEM🙏🙏🙏
with his resources.... he couldve found them before now.... but beautiful story about color lines being smashed and love ruling the day
Lmfao simmer down terrence
@@joany7166 lmaoooooo shit had me dead
100%.
Those are tears of guilt not joy
@@gospelslang9027 funny that you're name is "gospel" slang, you ain't no religious person, you's a jealous person, ain't nothing cool about that
My thoughts
I just watched a different video where he says he sends one of his grade school teachers a flat screen TV every year because she told him he couldn’t make it. But he just couldn’t seem to find these people who helped him greatly. This doesn’t add up.
Once again there are wonderful people in this world
Steve you have so much more than money, you have kindness and humanity. Oh and are a survivor. Bless you.
I wonder if he ever kept his word
Steve need to make a crying compilation
Glad I’m not the only tough grown man that shed a tear from this. Some of us. Who had it hard. All we ever had was on person we really looked up to. And it saved a lot of us 💯
Love hearing stuff like this...people helping people 🥺😫❤
When Steve broke and said "I love you man", that got me. When Richs voice cracked from choking back tears when he said "I love you too man"... consider me destroyed 😭😭😭 A great reunion, as heartfelt as they come. 💯
They did all that for him and he forgot them? Man?
He said He looked for them for them for years
@Darren McGowand damn
Thank you for sharing such a warm clip!
I watch this everyone few months, it's beautiful.
I waited for Steve to make good on his promise to this couple for helping him when he needed help the most. I never saw the "learjet" pick them up, never saw them on his t.v. show. I never watched Steve Harvey after that show. And never will. Someone dropped the ball and I think I know who it was...
I check in every few months for a follow up or whatever. Nothing yet. What is it, 7 years and counting??! Steve must be really busy 😒
Who dropped the ball?
Did he EVERR have them on his show? I've NEVER seen them on his show
Nope.
Absolutely beautiful Moment !!!!! Thank you Steve, for being a real man…. Boys pay attention!
I cried too for this😭 God bless all who help people and give them a fighting chance at life.
He's crying out of guilt cos he ain't done shit for the couple
Exactly! These people did a lot for him and does he really expect people to believe that with all the millions that he has and with everything that those people did for him he couldn't find them??? And they're still in the same place he really needs to be ashamed of himself
@@kinyaceaser8615 They went from Cleveland to Orlando!
It wasn't Steve's fault. That's like going from England to Italy! Chill out!
@@lonestar6709 @Lone Star it's my opinion and i stick to it. You're certainly entitled to yours. I heard he clearly say they they were still in the same place. And last i checked the US is the US. Not only did they give him his first contract for his cleaning business they helped him in other ways. So i say again does he REALLY expect ppl to believe he couldn't find them with all the millions he has????? But his staff can find them be Steve couldn't???😂😂😂😂
@@kinyaceaser8615 That was my thinking. The staff some how found these people but Mr. Harvey with all of his money couldn't find them? Just my opinion I just believe he got caught up in his lifestyle and didn't even try! These people probably didn't want anything in return but he could have at least tracked them down and took them on a nice vacation or something.
@@kinyaceaser8615 how did they know of them? Surely Steve told them the story. Truth is we get carried away in our lives and that isn’t being selfish. He went off and had a family and career. We mostly think in after thoughts. No shame in it and I’m sure he stuck to his word. You know what was nice? He showed the world the story. A random act of kindness that makes everyone else think about being kind. That’s enough for me.
Steve Harvey is one of the best things to ever happen to TV
I still tear up when I see this..about 50 times...so cool and real...lovely...
you made cry Steve, i can feel and imagine your emotional and words from bottom of your heart😭😭
