Steve Harvey has no plans for another stand-up comedy special due to cancel culture.

"The only way I can do one more special is if it's at the end of my television career because it will end my television career," Harvey told media on Tuesday during the TCA panel for his ABC series, Judge Steve Harvey airing Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.

quote:


"We're in the cancel culture now. No stand-up alive that is sponsor-driven can say anything he wants to. Chris Rock can't. Kevin Hart can't. Cedric the Entertainer can't. D.L. Hughley can't. I can go down the list. The only person that can say what they want to say on stage is Dave Chappelle because he's not sponsor-driven, he's subscription-driven."


quote:

He continued, "One of the reasons I stopped doing stand-up is because my wife told me was about to do something for me that I didn't know about yet. I didn't I didn't know he was going to give me this TV career, but he did. And it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me. But if I had tried to continue as a stand-up, there's no way I could maintain a TV career because political correctness has killed comedy."

Comedy is still going strong if you know where to look

Does he still deny the existence of dinosaurs?

He won't speak up about who is responsible for the cancel culture movement, though.

We asked a hundred people: name something that will make people laugh when someone answers with penis.

You may think he's a liberal but he spoke out against OJ in the 90s in his comedy. He thinks for himself and states his options thereafter.

Steve Harvey Frick OJ bit

And then recently he went off about OJ when Cuba Gooding was promoting The People vs OJ Simpson. Cuba looked very uncomfortable

Steve Harvey goes in on OJ again

When was the last time Ced and D.L. had endorsements or were mentioned in the same paragraph with Rock, Hart, and Chappelle? Steve is trying to throw the original kings a bone

It's going strong, but you have to look for it.

What do I do? Follow the little fish symbols? Is there a secret password I need to know.

Because it's going so strong.

We asked 100 people, name a comedian who can’t do comedy any more.

“Bob Saget?”

*insert Steve Harvey shocked face*

Sounds like career comedians should follow the subscription route and tell sponsors to frick off
