Steve Harvey
In 1985, Steve Harvey was married with two kids and working as an insurance salesman. After winning his first stand-up competition, he quit his job to pursue comedy full-time, but this decision took a toll on his family life. His marriage ended, and he lost contact with his children, leaving him homeless and living out of his car for three years.
Harvey’s persistence eventually paid off when he landed a breakthrough gig on Showtime at the Apollo, setting the stage for his future success.
