Steve

On September 19, 2018, it was announced that the NBC Owned Television Stations had picked up a new Kelly Clarkson-hosted talk show, produced and distributed by NBCUniversal, that will replace Steve on its stations and timeslot in the 2019-20 television season. Insiders reported that IMG had been shopping the series to a new distributor or outlet. In January 2019, Harvey stated that he was caught off-guard by the news, arguing that he "thought it would have been nice of [NBC]" to inform that he was being replaced by Kelly Clarkson. Harvey noted that, across both shows, he had hosted daytime talk shows for seven consecutive seasons, despite volatility in daytime television due to other options such as streaming. In May 2019, Steve was officially cancelled, and its final episode aired on June 26.
