Synopsis
Washed-up soul singer Steve Hightower (Steve Harvey) was now a music teacher at Booker T. Washington High in Chicago. Budget cutbacks meant Steve also had to teach drama and art, which he didn't know. Cedric Robinson (Cedric the Entertainer) was a chubby coach and Steve's friend. Regina Grier (Wendy Raquel Robinson), Steve's former classmate, was now the principal.
Steve seemingly met his match in a pair of his students: Romeo Santana (Merlin Santana), a stylish, charismatic ladies' man, and Romeo's dense, horny sidekick, Stanley Kuznocki, nicknamed Bullethead (William Lee Scott).
In 1997 Regina hired as her secretary Lovita Jenkins (Terri J. Vaughn), who soon started a passionate relationship with Cedric. Joining the cast in 1998 were Coretta (Robin Yvette Allen, aka The Lady of Rage), a bully in romantic pursuit of Romeo and Lydia Guttman (Lori Beth Denberg), a studious girl whom Romeo and Bullethead grudgingly accepted.
Awards
The Steve Harvey Show has won several Image Awards, and has been nominated for other Image Awards, American Latino Media Arts Awards, and NCLR Bravo Awards.
