Steve Harvey, one of the hardest working men in Hollywood, is adding yet another job to his resume. FOX has picked up “Showtime at the Apollo” as a one-hour weekly series. The show is set to debut during the 2017-2018 season.
“We all had such a blast on the two specials that aired earlier this season, that we thought it really deserved being a weekly event,” said Harvey on hosting the show. “But our mission is a little different this time around. Instead of just putting on a great show, we’re going to do that and find the next great comic and the next big music star. That’s what the Apollo is all about. My roots are on that stage and I can’t wait to be there every week, looking for great talent. Who said you can’t go back home again?”
Many of the original series features on the show, which included performances from some of the biggest names in music will transfer over to the new series. The Apollo audience is part of the theater’s long history as well as the place to showcase up and coming talent in front of the toughest audience in the world.
In each episode, Harvey will be joined by some of the biggest stars in comedy and music.
