Steve Harvey was on vacation and the theme song for Family Feud came on and brought tears to his eyes. And he shared about that emotional moment when he was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"I went to this island off of Cannes in the south of France, and the only way to get to this restaurant is by boat," he said. "And I walked in and Elton John is there....and then all of a sudden, my daughter said, ‘Daddy, Elton John's walking over here!' He said, ‘Steve, my man!' and we hugged and everybody in the restaurant was watching. And I talked to him, and he went back to his seat."
