The format of the show, Judge Steve Harvey, is quite simple. People with real issues will appear in the comedian’s court and he will pass judgment using his common sense.

Explaining the show, Harvey said in a promo clip:

"It’s a big world out there and it’s filled with people that just don’t see eye to eye. See that’s where I come in. See I ain’t got a law degree and I’m way too fly to wear a robe. But this is where common sense presides in my house. Court is now in session.”

The trailer for Judge Steve Harvey gives a promising vibe. The popular host is seen saying that it feels good to come to a court where he can’t lose.

This twisted form of giving orders and doing justice has the potential to help Judge Steve Harvey turn into a hit show.

The upcoming reality show of the Emmy-winning entertainer is backed by Den of Thieves in association with Walt Disney Television's newly formed alternative unit.

Judge Steve Harvey has many executive producers, including Harvey himself, Evan Prager, Brandon Williams, Jared Morell, Myeshia Mizuno and Jesse Ignjatovic. Mizuno is also the show runner of the new reality series.
