Tom Joyner Interviews Mary Harvey and You Won't See Anymore Videos on YouTube

Urban Radio Nation mary harvey, Steve Harvey, tom joyner

That's the promise Mary Harvey gave to the listeners of the Tom Joyner Morning Show. We think..but we sensed some uncertainty in her voice. It's obvious she feels hurt and has a lot of resentment towards Steve. Joyner interviewed Steve Harvey's ex-wife Mary on his syndicated morning show and asked how he could help the situation. Tom suggested that Steve and Mary meet behind closed doors away from the media spotlight and without any lawyers present...Really? Not sure if that's a good idea. At the very least some kind of relationship professional needs to be present.

Anyway we're not sure if the entire community is affected by the personal lives of Steve Harvey and Mary Harvey. We feel that comment was a bit presumptuous on Joyner's part. But taking the high road in this situation was probably best thing to do at this point. At times he even seemed to be admonishing Mary for her comments on the show and her previous actions on YouTube. It's obvious Steve and Tom are friends and even more than that they are frat brothers (Omega Psi Phi). No one wants to see a feud develop between Joyner and Harvey; and it won't. Even though the buzz in the media it might generate would have been unfathomable.

In case you missed it you can watch Part 1 and Part 2 along with a transcript of a separate interview that was conducted over the weekend at Joyner's website, Black America Web.com.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
