There is no evidence to suggest Harvey has died. There are no credible news reports about the game show host’s purported death. His verified Facebook and Instagram pages continue to share pictures of him without any mention of his alleged passing, while his official website does not mention anything about him dying.

Episodes of his podcast “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” are still being uploaded daily to his iHeart page, with the most recent episode being released on May 11. (RELATED: No, Joe Rogan Has Not Died)

Harvey spoke to former radio host and attorney Mo Ivory’s law class at Georgia State University April 25, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The game show host also participated in a live interview with E! News May 9 where he discussed his “fashion evolution” and appeared to be in good spirits.
