MEMO: Steve Harvey does not want to talk to you

[MaxDepth]

Found this on Variety.com. Apparently Steve Harvey closed his old production of 'The Steve Harvey' show from Chicago and is now moving to LA. Where, apparently, he'll interview more celebrities and less 'weird, creepy people.

So Steve wants his new crew to know one specific thing, don't talk to him. Because you know, he wants to enjoy his life and you really aren't a part of that enjoyment.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back.

I’d like you all to review and adhere to the following notes and rules for Season 5 of my talk show.

There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE.

Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.

Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.

My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me.

I want all the ambushing to stop now. That includes TV staff.

You must schedule an appointment.

I have been taken advantage of by my lenient policy in the past. This ends now. NO MORE.

Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly. Either knock or use the doorbell.

I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day.

Do not wait in any hallway to speak to me. I hate being ambushed. Please make an appointment.

I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.

If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.

Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.

Thank you all,

Steve Harvey

Nothing to see here ...

I had to google the name to see who he was...Steve can get bent

There's a group of people on this earth whos soul purpose is to aggravate the fuk out of everyone else, right on steve.

 

[IronWing]

I can relate for I too have been a famous TV personality accosted by people who want to determine my schedule and my work priorities for me.

He left off the clause:

Unless you are a hot chick that wants to get freaky.

Also, LA to get less wierd creepy people? I think he read the wrong brochure.

I saw his picture on my boss' computer screen this morning(yahoo home page). He looks like a black G Gordon Liddy :^D

Has the feel of a somebody broke his last straw message. Sure he could have been more tactful, but I agree with his message.

 

[NutBucket]

I thought he was working in Georgia between his radio and (multiple) TV gigs.

When I hear Steve's side of the story, I get it. He was constantly getting bombarded with "HI STEVE! MEET MY FRIENDS STEVE! SIGN THIS STEVE! CAN YOU HELP ME STEVE!"

That would drive me nuts too, and I'm sure it resulted in him doing a lot of things he either didn't want to or felt uncomfortable refusing.

When I read this I thought "Yeah, Make me smile is an ace song but do people really remember Cockney rebel that much?"

I need new glasses.

 

[Mayne]

I still love the man. His face when he does those sexual innuendo questions on Family Feud is priceless.

When I hear Steve's side of the story, I get it.

The part that makes him a jerk is this:

Most if not all of the estimated 80 employees who worked for Harvey here will be out of work after the show closes down at NBC Tower.

“He didn’t offer interviews to many people who have been with him since beginning, and hurt lots of people who would move on their own to L.A. to be part of the new show,” RadarOnline reported last week. “Steve never even addressed the staff about it. He never said a word about them all losing their jobs.”

I assure him the feeling is mutual.

Still not sure that makes him a jerk. If I had to write up a memo to tell people to give me space I'm not sure I'd want to bring them with me if I move my business to a different city.

Good riddance, nice to know that his show is leaving Chicago.

This is the same guy that could not read from a cue card right in his face, wrote a book about relationship while himself was divorced more than once and how nasty he was to another minority group - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gjVyM2tajA

Get a grip.
