In season 1, episode 18 of "The Steve Harvey Show," titled "Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner?," Steve's brother-in-law, Mike, is coming over for dinner and Steve is excited to show off his cooking skills. However, Steve's plans are derailed when Mike cancels at the last minute and Steve is left with a fridge full of food.
Steve's co-workers, Cedric and Lovita, suggest that he invite their friend Regina over for dinner instead. Steve is hesitant at first since he doesn't know Regina very well, but he eventually agrees. Meanwhile, Regina is also hesitant about accepting the dinner invitation since she knows Steve's reputation as a ladies' man.
As Steve prepares for dinner, he becomes increasingly nervous and orders Cedric and Lovita to help him out. They try to come up with ways to impress Regina, including setting the table with fancy dishes and dressing up in formal wear. However, their plans backfire when Regina arrives in casual attire and is surprised by their over-the-top efforts.
Throughout the dinner, Steve tries to impress Regina with his cooking skills and wit, but she remains unimpressed and even challenges Steve on his views about relationships. As the evening goes on, tensions rise and Steve begins to realize that he may have misjudged Regina.
As the night comes to a close, Steve reflects on the dinner and realizes that he was too focused on trying to impress Regina and didn't take the time to get to know her on a deeper level. He resolves to invite her over again and make it up to her.
Overall, "Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner?" is a comedic episode with a message about not judging people based on first impressions. It highlights the importance of getting to know someone beyond surface level and challenging one's own preconceptions and biases.
