Steve Harvey has suggested that he brings a male point of view to daytime television.

The comic spoke to Parade about why he chose to cater his new chatshow to a primarily female audience.

"It's a male point of view, but from a guy who's always championed women's causes," Harvey stressed.

He continued: "My book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man was written for my daughters, so they can quit being hoodwinked [by men]. I've been through the whole gamut - I've been married, divorced. I have a blended family. I've been rich and poor.

"I've worked all types of jobs. I've failed miserably. That's a lot of experience, a lot of good stuff to talk about on TV."

Harvey went on to joke that his adult daughters Karli and Brandi are not at all impressed that he has his own television show.

"My kids want me more as their dad than anything, so they don't care that I'm on TV," he explained. "They come and talk to me about regular stuff, about problems they're dealing with.

"Being famous doesn't change the rules of parenting. It can have its perks, though. I got my daughter tickets to see Trey Songz in concert and that made me king for a month."

Steve Harvey was renewed for a second season by NBCUniversal in January.
