I was living in this car for three years, man, I ain't got no money.

And, uh, I was gonna call my mom and dad and ask them could I come home.

And just stay in the attic for about four months till I find a job.

My father told me, you can't come back home.

Once you leave my daddy's house, you gotta figure that shit out.

But they had put an answering machine in the attic for me.

And so, I was bathing in a hotel in Pensacola, Florida.

I used to go to hotels that had those bathroom doors that went floor to ceiling.

I would go to real fancy like Ritz Carlton's and stuff like that cause they had linen towels wrapped up in a basket.

And I would take a bunch of them in there, run hot water on them, and I take them in the stall and shut the door.

Then I would wait till the coast was clear and I run out and get a bunch of more rags and soak them up and come out and wipe it off.

Then I stand there and dry, put my clothes back on, that's how I bathed every other day, man.

And so I was in there one time and they had a convention in town.

And when I got all the stuff, I soaped up, this convention let out and men was just coming in the bathroom.

So I let the toilet seat down and I'm sitting there, man.

I said, man, I can't take this shit no more, I'm fitting to quit, I'm gonna go call my daddy, just ask him can I come home, man, I can't do this no more.

So before I called him, I called the answering machine and I got a message.

And it says, Steve Harvey, this is Chuck Sutton from Showtime at the Apollo, we saw a tape of you.

If you would come to New York Sunday night,

Showtime at the Apollo, that was my dream.

How was I gonna get to New York with $25?

I said, man, I went back in my car and I'm crying again.

I said, man, God, I finally get a shot to get on TV and then I can't even go.

And I'm 30 something now, man, I've been waiting my whole life and I,

So I said, man, let me call this machine back and just see if he said this Sunday.

And I called it back and it said, Steve, this is Chuck Sutton from Showtime at the Apollo, we saw a tape, we have an opening for you Sunday.

So I got ready to hang up and I heard boop.

And the message said, Steve Harvey, this is Tom Sobel from the Comedy Caravan, I don't know where you are now, but I have a gig available for you in Jacksonville, Florida to pay you $150 Friday night.

I go the next night, I make the $150, but I was so funny, the club owner said, if you stay the next night, I'll pay you another $150.

I called Tom Chuck Sutton back at the Apollo and said, hey man, I just got this message.

If you still got room for me in New York,

So I went to Eastern airline, bought a round trip ticket for $99 from Jacksonville, Florida to New York.

Wrote the joke that made me famous, Mike Tyson hit this fighter Mitch Green in the eye and his eye start talking.

I have been on television ever since that night right there.
