“You know, I always keep an eye out for what God’s planning. Right now, I’ve got someone really coming at me hard. I’m just sitting back, waiting to see how God handles it all, because they’re going after the same Steve who once tagged along to Mark Curry’s sitcom and allegedly swiped everything Mark had. Now Steve’s starring in his own sitcom as a principal, all suited up, and it looks like he and Cat are gearing up for a long-awaited showdown after years of tension. Things really hit the fan when Cat dropped some bombs during a recent Club Shay Shay podcast, causing a stir across the internet. Cat didn’t hold back, taking shots at Steve for allegedly stealing jokes and fibbing about being homeless.
But Steve’s not taking it lying down. He’s throwing shade back at Cat, and let me tell you, the drama’s heating up. Personally, I’m just an observer here. Unless you’ve been living off the grid, you’ve probably caught wind of Cat’s explosive interview with Shannon Sharpe. Cat’s been dropping hints about the shady side of the industry for years, but he really spilled it all on Club Shay Shay. For those who missed the marathon interview, let me break down the juiciest bits.”
Cat Williams recently stirred up some serious drama in the industry, especially when it came to his long-standing feud with Steve Harvey. According to Cat, who didn’t mince words, Steve didn’t just climb to the top on talent alone—he allegedly took some shady shortcuts.
Cat claims Steve ripped off the whole idea for ‘The Steve Harvey Show’ from Mark Curry, the guy behind ‘Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.’ Apparently, Steve used to hang out at other comedians’ gigs, pretending to be supportive while secretly taking notes for his own benefit. And it seems there’s evidence to back it up: fans dug up old clips showing similarities between Mark’s routines and Steve’s later performances.
In a nutshell, Cat Williams isn’t backing down, calling out Steve Harvey for what he sees as foul play in the comedy game.
“Growing up, Halloween was a simple affair for me—I wore the same homemade brown box costume every year, despite wanting something new. My dad insisted I stick with it, and while it wasn’t fancy, it was what I had.
Now, let’s get to the facts. Mark has been accusing Steve of stealing his jokes for years. It all started when Steve used Mark’s Halloween jokes on his talk show without giving credit. Mark publicly called him out, questioning why Steve would take from him when he was already successful.
In 2020, Mark spoke out again, revealing that Steve had used his material not once, but twice—first on his talk show and then on ‘Little Big Shots.’ Mark even offered to help Steve use his jokes properly if he asked.
Steve’s response? He brushed off the accusations, telling Mark to focus on his own career and denying ever stealing jokes in his 35-year career. But fans found evidence suggesting otherwise.
And the plot thickens. While Cat didn’t directly accuse Steve of theft, fans uncovered instances where Steve seemed to use Cat’s material too. From jokes about gas stations to their stories of overcoming adversity, the similarities were striking.
Steve has long touted his rise from homelessness to success as part of his narrative. It’s a story that resonates with many and inspires hope. However, Cat has questioned the authenticity of Steve’s claims, suggesting they might be more about marketing than reality.”
Does this capture the essence of what you were looking for?
During the interview, Cat pointed out that Harvey was never really struggling on the streets. According to Cat, Harvey was making a solid $3,000 per show while touring with Mark Curry decades ago. Cat claimed that the story of homelessness actually belonged to him, describing his own past of living in a car and worrying about rent payments. He suggested that Steve Harvey appropriated his personal narrative.
Cat also criticized Harvey’s career trajectory, comparing it unfavorably to comedians like Kevin Hart who successfully transitioned into acting. Cat alleged that despite Harvey’s intelligence, he avoided working with established comedians in films he didn’t produce himself. This implied a deliberate strategy by Harvey to maintain control over his public image.
