I’d like you all to review and adhere to the following notes and rules for Season 5 of my talk show.
There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE.
Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.
Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.
My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me.
I want all the ambushing to stop now. That includes TV staff.
You must schedule an appointment.
I have been taken advantage of by my lenient policy in the past. This ends now. NO MORE.
Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly. Either knock or use the doorbell.
I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day.
Do not wait in any hallway to speak to me. I hate being ambushed. Please make an appointment.
I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.
If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.
Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.
Thank you all,
Steve Harvey
Sounds like a jerk.
... who is Steve Harvey ??
I wouldn’t approach him because he probably stinks
He sounds like the perfect antagonist for a “What About Bob Part 2” movie.
Another star struck individual with success going to his head?
“There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE.
Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.
Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.”
Hmmm...I wonder what they do in there.
If y’all remember, he was lambasted for speaking positively of a meeting with Trump shortly after the inauguration. Articles like this are meant to destroy him publicly. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this. If you disagree, feel free to send me your phone # so I can contact you anytime I want.
I guess Mr. Harey wants control over his life...
The bastard.../ S
Got no more time for the backstage drama.
This memo would have benefited from more context. I can understand him trying to get ready for his show and not wanting to be interupted in his dressing room or makeup chair. But he should have said something like there will be time set aside for meetings.
Sounds like a first class Ahole to the people who work for him and are trying to make him look good.
What’s shocking about the memo? He’s a prima donna.
he will blame the russian hackers for this , ,
He’s going to L.A. and wants the leftie, liberal scumbags to keep their perversions away from him.
Can’t say that I blame him.
This is a hit piece plan and simple.
Harvey spoke favorably about Trump.
He was not supposed to leave the plantation.
It is obvious by many of the comments on the threads here that a large part of the members have no idea what kind of culture war is going on here.
Some of you need to try a management job or take ownership of a fast moving company sometime and see what it is like.
Those little "five minute" interruptions are HUGE day killers. Three "five minute" interruptions per hour, and you'll find that you've accomplished nothing you set out to do during the day. If you've got deadlines, that means YOU end up putting in the extra hours to get the things done you need to get done. And after a while, that can tax anyone.
Sounds perfectly reasonable.
The guy is a celebrity (albeit minor), trying to make a multi-million-dollar TV show run smoothly on a tight schedule.
He _needs_ time to focus on getting himself prepared & focused for an intense process that has to run without a hitch.
Lots of people interrupting him derails his preparations & mindset, making his show suffer, especially when he’s deliberately “ambushed” - which by definition is catching someone off-guard for the purpose of taking advantage of the ensuing confusion.
Most people don’t realize that someone who’s entertaining on set isn’t entertaining off set. It’s an act, and that act can be grueling to perform and is not their normal personality.
If he’s being that severe and blunt, it’s probably (as he does note) the result of long trying to be accommodating but finally can’t take it any more.
It’s a business. Make an appointment. Have a reason. Sure he makes viewers feel like he’s everyone’s close & funny friend - he’s not.
I’m sorry but who is Steve Harvey?
Just be more of an ass and people will leave you alone. Don’t ask how I know that works.
