One roommate, now an attorney Harvey says he remains friends with, responded: “I just don’t know how to live with a black person…but he said, ‘can we still be friends?’ I said, ‘For sure.’ I learned a valuable lesson from them guys and I think they learned something from me. You know what I did? I forgave them.”
He grew up working on his family's farm.
"Ever since I was 9.. every summer I had to work the farm: slopping hogs, feeding chickens, baling hay, watering mules. We ate everything in the back yard, never went to the store. It did create a work ethic in me. I'm not afraid of hard work."
He sat down with Patti LaBelle and her famous fan James Wright for a nibble of the famous "Patti Pie." Check out his lively reaction!
He does the most hilarious "church lady" voice you have ever heard.
He and Rickey Smiley made some kind of joyful noise sending up church announcements on a recent episode of Harveys' talk show.
