Steve Harvey was falsely rumored to be fired from ABC’s Family Feud after a May 2024 Facebook ad claimed he was let go due to a mistake during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. The ad spread misinformation, including the claim that Harvey had supported a product called Canna Labs CBD Gummies, which was also untrue. Clicking the ad led to a fake CNN story on a dubious website, featuring a fabricated post supposedly from Harvey’s X account. The story even misquoted ABC CEO Chris Dungey, who denied any connection between Harvey’s comedy and his alleged firing.
