His fans know that he’s always impeccably dressed, but Steve Harvey will really outdo himself on next Tuesday’s episode of “Steve Harvey” (3 p.m./Ch. 4).
Harvey, who always wears really nice clothes and fancy suits, surprised his studio audience (who were themselves fancily dressed) by donning a navy plaid tuxedo jacket and satin tie — embellished with Swarovski crystals — along with blue rhinestone shoes for the show, entitled “Steve Harvey: Sexy Edition,” which taped last Friday in Chicago.
On the show, Harvey interviews a few of TLC’s “Extreme Cougar Wives” and reveals his Top 5 songs to “set the mood.”
Harvey, by the way, made TV Guide’s “Hot List” issue as “Hot Talker” in the magazine’s current issue.
