Ep 9. Big Brothers

The Steve Harvey Show is a popular comedy talk show that features Steve Harvey as the host. In season 1 episode 9 of the show, entitled Big Brothers, Steve takes on a serious topic – the importance of male role models in the lives of young boys.

As the show begins, Steve welcomes his first guest, Kevin Powell, a political activist and writer who is a passionate advocate for mentorship for young boys. Kevin shares his own personal experiences of growing up without a father figure and how he found guidance and support through mentors in his community. He stresses the importance of male role models in helping to build self-confidence, character, and leadership skills in young boys.

Next, Steve introduces his second guest, NFL star Michael Strahan, who is also an advocate for mentorship. Michael talks about his own experiences growing up in a single-parent household and how important his grandfather and coaches were to him as role models. He encourages viewers to get involved in mentoring programs and to consider becoming a mentor themselves.

The show then shifts gears, as Steve welcomes a group of young boys from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program to the stage. The boys, ranging in age from 8 to 14, share their own stories of growing up without strong male role models in their lives. They talk about the challenges they face and the impact that their mentors have had on them.

Steve and his guests then surprise the boys with a special treat – a visit from their Big Brothers. The boys are thrilled to see their mentors and share emotional hugs and high-fives with them. The mentors talk about the joys and challenges of being a mentor and share their own stories of personal growth and fulfillment through the program.

Throughout the episode, Steve and his guests stress the importance of getting involved in mentoring programs and being a positive role model for young boys. They encourage viewers to seek out opportunities to volunteer in their communities and to make a difference in the lives of young people.

As the episode comes to a close, Steve thanks his guests and the Big Brothers Big Sisters program for their valuable work in making a difference in the lives of young boys. He urges viewers to take action and become a mentor themselves, to help build a brighter future for the next generation.
