I did not bother to watch this fuckin video until a minute ago.
And don't get me wrong: It's 99% bullshit.
It's on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which begs faithful Christians to donate money every hour. Does an all-powerful god need money? No, of course not.
But I like standup comedy and I know Harvey made his bones as a comic, so I took a listen.
And for the first two minutes, Harvey bullshits.
But at exactly 2:04, he starts to break down. He doesn't have tears for dear Jesus. He doesn't have tears for the glory of "god."
No, he starts crying... a 50+ year old man starts crying because he recalls that his mom used to talk about grace and mercy. And he feels that he has nobody to talk to about his real thoughts in his late adult life now.
I would like to think that he's faking it, honestly. I would.
But I read up real quick on Steve Harvey, and YEAH, he's done some shit. He's been a shitty guy, sometimes. But if you check him out, you find out he's born in West Virginia. That's practically a cultural death sentence in the US. His old man was a fucking coal miner.
Then he moves to Cleveland. Well, fuck that shit.
But he graduates from a University, he fuckin BOXES, sells insurance, and delivers fuckin mail for odd jobs.
Finally, he figures out that he can work an audience and decides to be a standup comic.
Now, I don't think he's funny, but obviously some people do and his career finally fucking takes off.
And if you look at all the famous standup comics, you notice that they're all tragically misunderstood and alienated figures. Harvey can't fuckin act, so when you look in his eyes when he's bawling like a bitch, you can tell he can't help it.
I love Steve Harvey.
