For a few hours on Wednesday, November 26, Steve Harvey left his followers scratching their heads when a seemingly routine Happy Thanksgiving post went awry.
“I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday!” read the ill-timed Instagram post. “Remember to be Thankful for Life, Say a Prayer & God Bless!” The post, which was yanked down an hour later, racked up over 3,000 likes — and lots of wise cracks.
“Is this from last year,” deadpanned one.
“Unc lemme eat the turkey first!” read another.
“Your social media manager needs us,” quipped a third.

This is far from the first time the Family Feud host, 68, has been the unintentional butt of jokes.
Back in 2023, a post from his official Twitter account asked fans to name someone they “don’t find funny at all.” Per BET, that post was also yanked, with Harvey explaining: “I would’ve never done nothing like that.”
And who could forget the infamous Miss Universe mix-up in 2015, when he crowned the wrong winner live on air?
Harvey later summed up the fiasco bluntly telling fellow funnyman Kevin Hart in a 2021 interview that it was “the worst week of my life in show business” and “painful as hell.”
