Comedian Steve Harvey with wife Marjorie attend a fundraising gala for the Steve Harvey Foundation in New York May 2010.

Video production and film production projects including feature films, TV shows and music videos are eligible for cash rebates of between 15% and 22% of budgets or in-state shooting. Such benefits have lured multiple game show productions to Florida in the past. TV gamers shot here include “Fear Factor,” “Wheel of Fortune,” “Beat the Clock” and “My Family’s Got Guts.”

Besides new digs, the Florida video production of “Family Feud” also will feature a new host. Famed comedian, actor, author and syndicated radio show host Steve Harvey will become the new face of the show this season. Harvey began his entertainment career as a standup comedian in the mid-1980s before a hosting gig with “It’s Showtime at the Apollo” and numerous TV sitcoms including ABC’s “Me and the Boys” and The WB’s “The Steve Harvey Show” and “Steve Harvey Big Time Challenge.” He is perhaps best known for his comedy DVDs including “Don’t Trip … He Ain’t Through With me Yet” and “Still Trippin,” as well as for the 1997 “Kings of Comedy” Tour with fellow comedians Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley and the late Bernie Mac. His current stint as host of the 64-market syndicated radio show “Steve Harvey Morning Show” led to his surprisingly successful stint as one of America’s favorite relationship advisors and author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.

Harvey is no stranger to Florida video production, having taped an episode of “The Steve Harvey Show” here. His new gig as host of “Family Feud,” which pits two families against each other in a contest to correctly guess the most popular responses to survey questions, will make him a regular in Florida video production industry circles.
