This boy came from a poor family, but he had big dreams that he believed in.
He pursued his dreams relentlessly and achieved them despite several obstacles he faced.
The boy is now a famous comedian, a celebrated TV host, and an accomplished author and businessman.
This African-American boy knew from a very young age that he wanted to be on TV. His philosophy in life was to dream big and believe that one day, he would succeed. So, the boy held on to his dreams of being on TV as much as he was a stutterer.
The boy was born on January 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia, to his dad, Jesse Harvey, a coal miner, and mom, Eloise Vera Harvey, a Sunday school teacher. The boy grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and the place still remains special in his heart.
