(gentle music) - [Steve] 20 Years ago, I
was semi-famous back then, a partner of mine got killed. So I go back to Cleveland, to the funeral. My best friend name Biggie Wig. He picks me up at the airport. He pull up at the funeral
home and we walk in. Big starts talking to some girls. So I'm just in line to
view the body, right? And I don't know nobody, so I said, wow, where all my boys at, they'll
probably be here later. I walked up to the casket, and my partner Amp was dead, right? But I look in the casket and it's not Amp. (audience laughs) No, we done went to
the wrong funeral home. (audience groans) So I'm standing there
and I'm going (bleep). (audience laughs) This is (bleep) up. So I wanna turn so I can tell Biggie Wig we at the wrong funeral, because he not gonna handle this like me. (audience laughs) Biggie Wig a little bit different, so. But he too far back in the line, and the funeral director
standing right there, "Let's move along, sir. "Let's keep the line moving. "So all the beloveds can
see your beloved friend." Hold up, I need to tell this (bleep) 'cause this dude, ain't
gonna understand this. "Let's move along." So I move along, and the
family is sitting right there. And one of the dudes recognized me. He said, "Oh man, Steve Harvey,
mama, that's Steve Harvey." "Oh Steve, thank you so much for coming. (audience laughs) "I didn't know you knew Ronald." I don't. (audience laughs) "I didn't know you had
a relationship with, "he never spoke about you. "Oh my God, how wonderful of you to come "and pay your respects to my child. "Oh my God, you're the
most wonderful man." And I'm standing here
and I'm going, yes ma'am. And I'm trying to say all
that you say to dead people. So sorry for your loss. I'm trying to get Biggie's attention. He a gangster, he not gonna handle this. The funeral director says, "Mr. Harvey, I recognized
you the moment you came in. "I'm gonna prepare a room off to the side. "So you can greet the people
who want to meet you." (audience laughs) I'm going hey (bleep). They ain't bout me. I don't even know this. I don't need no room off to the side! But I'm caught up in this, and
I'm trying to be respectful. And mother said, "Oh my
God, isn't he wonderful? "He came to see my son." This is bull, but I'm trapped. And they just talking and
walking me to the back. So I get in the back
and I'm doing like this, 'cause I'm trying to get Big's attention. He goes up to the casket, turn and go, "Man, this ain't Amp." (audience laughs) I'm in the back, I went, oh. "Man, this ain't Amp." So the dude brother, he mad, he said, "Hey
man, what is you saying?" "Where Amp at? He said, "This ain't Amp, this Ronald." So I'm in the back going,
we at the wrong funeral. Now all these people coming up to me. "It's so wonderful of you to come." "You're such a nice man." "Oh my God, you're so wonderful." I was standing there man, just dying. Big damn near fighting with the family, 'Cause they trying to move him along. "Get your hands off me,
you don't grab me, man. "I just bought this suit, "and I don't even know this (bleep)." That was the last word I heard Big say. That's my funeral story. (audience claps)
