Steve Harvey has been hosting Family Feud for 15 years, and he credits his success to being allowed to be himself at work.
Before joining weeknight television, Steve worked as a comedian, and his talent is evident in his job as the host of Family Feud.
To commemorate his career milestone, Steve recently sat down with Today’s Donna Farizan to talk about his tenure on the popular game show.

When Donna asked Steve what he attributes his long-term success to, the 67-year-old revealed that Family Feud’s producer gave him free rein, which allowed his true talents to shine through.
“The original producers and the original executive producer, Gabby Johnson, she gave me the free reins,” Steve explained. “She said, ‘Okay, do it your way.
