Steve was in SA about two months ago and did several media interviews to promote the local version of Family Feud.
The game show sees two families compete to give the most popular answers to surveyed questions, often with hilarious results. It has been on air in the US since 1976, with Steve hosting since 2010.
He told TshisaLIVE that coming to SA was like "coming home".
He added that he did not believe Mzansi's artists, such as Thando Thabethe, Somizi, Mo Flava, DJ Fresh and others, who were doing the most on home soil, needed to leave the country for the bright lights of Hollywood.
“Why would you have to leave your home country to make it? It is just not being done the right way. Everyone keeps living in their own pocket, someone needs to unify the whole continent. If you go to Hollywood right now, there is a line. That line is long. I say, why not maximise your potential here.”
