Family Feud Host Steve Harvey to Interview President Obama

Steve Harvey, host of the eponymous talk show and of Family Feud, will be interviewing President Obama on his daytime talk show next week, according to POLITICO.

Harvey will sit down with the president at the White House to talk “family, fatherhood and his plans for the holidays.” In a statement, Harvey said, “Sitting down with the President is something I’ve always dreamt of doing, and I am honored to have the opportunity.”

Harvey has previously spoken highly of President Obama, and in 2011 he decried Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West as Uncle Toms for criticizing the president.
