Social media users and Steve Harvey fans mocked him for his appearance in his "Motivated With Steve Harvey" video promotions.

Over the weekend, the 67-year-old TV host took to Instagram to share a snippet of his interview promoting The Steve Harvey Network and an all-new "Motivated With Steve Harvey" episode. In the video, he can be seen talking via video call in a plain-painted room and a casual shirt.

Seeing his appearance, one Instagram user asked, "Why [does] Steve look like [he's] in jail?"

"Why [is] Steve looking like he's in [the] county?" another questioned after seeing the snippet.

"Steve is not in a suit," pointed out someone else.

When Steve posted a different video on X, formerly Twitter, some users on X noticed the same thing.

"For a second, I thought Steve was calling from prison," commented one X user.

"Bro, [are] you locked up? What'd they get you for?" quipped another.

Meanwhile, others praised the "Family Feud" host for the "wisdom" he has shared in his interviews.

"Steve Harvey's wisdom is priceless. His words helped me get my business started. If it weren't for his words, I wouldn't be the entrepreneur that I am today. And he just gives the wisdom away for free!" wrote one fan.

"It's amazing how one can impact someone's life that they don't even know in such a major way. Thank you, Mr. Steve Harvey....Ya can't say anything negative about him in front of me!"

"@iamsteveharveytv is a life-changing speaker," remarked someone else.

"Steve, I wish to talk to you one day," said a different commenter.

"...You may not know me or the many other people you touch, but I just want you to know how much you mean to me. I appreciate you. God bless you, Steve," added another person.
