Steve Harvey is one of the biggest names in comedy across the United States. Since 2010, he’s been the face of the hit game show Family Feud, bringing laughs and excitement to homes everywhere. His sharp wit, humor, and ability to connect with people have made him a fan favorite. But what many don’t know is that Steve does something special after every episode that never makes it to the TV screen.
At the end of each show, when the game is done and the cameras stop rolling, Steve Harvey takes a few moments to speak directly to the studio audience. It’s a side of him that fans at home rarely get to see. In a recently uncovered clip that wasn’t aired, Steve shares a deeply personal and inspiring message that left the audience hanging onto every word.
In this unaired clip, Steve stands before the crowd, looking out with a serious expression. He begins talking about what it takes to be successful in life, and he doesn’t sugarcoat it. “You want to know the truth about success?” Steve asks, his voice calm but full of conviction. “You gotta jump. Every successful person you see had to jump at some point in their life.”
He goes on to explain that taking the leap—whether it’s going after a dream, starting a business, or making a big decision—is something that every successful person has done. “If you don’t jump,” he warns, “you’ll stay on the cliff. You’ll never soar, you’ll never fly.” The audience is silent, soaking in his words.
Steve doesn’t stop there. He tells the audience that jumping doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. In fact, he says it’s going to be tough, really tough. “The parachute ain’t gonna open right away,” he says. “You’re going to hit the rocks, you’re going to get cut up, you’re going to feel pain. But you gotta keep jumping. Because one day, the parachute will open, and you’ll fly.”
As Steve speaks, the room feels heavy with emotion. He’s not just talking about success in a vague way—he’s talking about real risks, real struggles, and the courage to keep going despite the fear of failure. You can see how much this message means to him. And then, he takes it to another level.
Steve starts talking about the role of God in his life, and how faith has helped him through the hardest moments. His voice grows softer but filled with emotion. “You gotta understand,” he says, “God’s not gonna let you fall. But you have to trust Him. You have to trust that when you jump, He’s got you.” The crowd is silent again, hanging onto every word.
Steve’s faith is clear, and his message is simple but powerful—success comes when you take that leap of faith, trusting not just in yourself but in something greater.
It’s a message that stays with the audience long after they leave the studio. Steve Harvey’s words remind us that success isn’t just about talent or luck—it’s about bravery, faith, and the willingness to take a chance.
