"Just like me."
These were the words comedian Steve Harvey used to describe South Africans.
The US funnyman is in the country to shoot season two of the American-inspired comic game show, Family Feud Africa.
"You are African and I am African-American — everything we are in America we got from you [and] that's the part that I don't understand, the rush to go to America.
"Everything we do is [because] of you — our soul, our rhythm we got from Africa, colours and jewellery we got from Africa," he said.
Harvey also spoke about the impact of Covid-19 on the production of the show, similarities to the American version and Michael B Jordan, who is dating his daughter, Lori.
He was being interviewed via Zoom.
He said fans could also expect to see more SA celebrities and more excitement on the show.
Harvey, who is sometimes left tongue-tied with the pronunciation of the names of contestants, said he had been more prepared this time.
"I have learnt a little bit more about the names and the pronunciations and how the consonants and syllables work a little better," he said.
Family Feud Africa season two will be aired every Sunday at 6pm from May 9 on the e.tv channel.
