Steve Harvey Talks Being Replaced By Kelly Clarkson

Steve Harvey

STEVE HARVEY's NBC daytime talk show was replaced last year by one hosted by KELLY CLARKSON.  But he's fine with it.

He says, quote, "I'm happy for people.  You know, I'm a person of faith, so when a door closes for me, I just walk up the hall. It's more doors.  I like Kelly Clarkson, I'm happy for her."

Is he really, though?  He added, quote, "One of my friends said, 'Man, that's really big of you to be happy for somebody who replaced your show.'  

"I said, 'I'm happy for her.'  He said, 'So you watch [her show]?'  I said, 'I ain't that happy!'"
