Steve Harvey’s talk show, Steve, will be ending its run in June. Other outlets have reported that the show’s demise may have come as a result of a battle between NBCUniversal and Endeavor’s IMG Original Content.

 Harvey first jumped into the talk show game in 2012 with The Steve Harvey Show, which was co-produced by Endemol Shine North America and NBC Universal. The show taped in Chicago and followed the same type of format as Oprah or Dr. Phil, with Harvey’s signature “comedy” interjected.When the five-year deal with Endemol ended in 2016, Harvey accepted a deal from IMG that gave him a much larger ownership stake in the show, a higher salary and more creative control, and relocated production to Los Angeles. The new iteration of the show focused more on celebrity guests and comedic segments, and was renamed Steve. As Variety notes, the new deal raised concerns about a possible conflict of interest as IMG is a corporate sibling of WME, which represents Harvey.According to Variety, NBCUniversal was big mad over losing its stake in Harvey’s show. In September, the media conglomerate signed a deal with Kelly Clarkson to launch a talk show with her in the same slot currently occupied by Harvey’s show. The Kelly Clarkson Show will debut in the fall.
In the meantime, Steve taped its last episode Thursday. The show will continue to air original episodes through June and will air reruns through September.
Even without his talk show, Harvey will continue to be a regular fixture on television as he hosts Family Feud.

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard  everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music  at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want  you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be  rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality.   This r

  Where are you from and what’s it like in your hometown? I am born and mostly raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. New Bedford is full of hardworking and creative people. It's got It's ups and downs just like everywhere. For me it's home and where I feel the most comfortable. The art scene is really taking off over these last few years and added with some great restaurants, it's really growing. What inspired you to develop your craft as a music artist? The journey started without music. Poetry started as a way out from the world. It saved my life. So I guess you could say my struggle with depression at an early age was the match that lit the fire. After that it was just curiosity and finding out where I wanted to go with it and being open to new adventures.

I get lost in my head and writi

With New York Lady highlighting women empowerment that exists in the spirit of New York, Calm Before The Storm makes the listener realize that this is the melody he/she was longing for.
