This time around a clip from 2015 is surfacing online of the talk show on a rant about the sleeping habits of very wealthy people versus the rest of us impoverished peasants.

Steve Harvey: “Rich people don’t sleep eight hours a day!”

The stock market’s been open for two hours. They already making decisions about your life and your a** was sleep!”
