    Steve Harvey: “We asked 100 people, what is the male reproductive organ?”

    Contestant: “The penis”

    SH: “A WUH… HUH??” audience erupts into laughter Steve Harvey grabs onto podium to support himself laughter gets even louder

    SH: O lordy… one man goes into cardiac arrest and many others begin vomiting profusely from laughing too hard

    SH: YOU PEOPLE NEED HELP the Earth shatters and Satan rises from the underworld to claim unworthy souls the universe begins rapidly closing in on itself

    SH: (putting on a weary voice) Survey says… the board shows 100 for “penis” Harvey is able to get off one more shocked look before existence as we know it comes to an end

      lol I read that as “existence as we know it comes to an ad” thinking you meant going into a perpetual commercial break

      you forgot the part where Steve Harvey, in the anguished tones of a man who has crossed hell and is delivering one final message, screams to the stage directors

      “THE PENIS”

      Not to mention his being massively misogynistic, and his ‘Moral Barometer’ bullshit.

      and completely unfunny, never done anything in his entire career except gape at the camera in mock surprise-- you could throw a rock in Antarctica and hit someone with more talent

    The person sad “Jail” and of course he collapses into the podium Whaaa. And of course it was the #1 answer.

      It’s from an episode of Pingu. I only know this because it terrified me as a child and still haunts my nightmares as I approach my 40s.

      You say that but his stupid shocked face literally kept the show alive long LONG after it should have passed away peacefully.

      I mean its almost like his semi incompetence is a cultivated branding trait now.

        Maybe it’s an American thing

        To me Canada’s version is much better because we have a host that can actually read the questions and banter with the people

          Yeah American TV is definitely lowest common denominator. It’s popular because it caters to the same kind of people that would like ‘ow my nuts’ from idiocracy, and those kinds are endless in number.

          Again, he’s not a good host for comedy, delivery, or pacing, but his stupid face and bumbling nature is beloved by many.

          Like a children’s birthday clown without makeup.
