Nephew Tommy’s Prank Phone Calls from The Steve Harvey Morning Show read less

Our Editor's Take

Run That Prank has been a regular, beloved segment on The Steve Harvey Morning Show for years. During the four hours of the radio show, Harvey invites his nephew for a short, five-minute feature. Thomas Mile, whose stage name is Nephew Tommy, calls people up and asks them the wildest questions. He asks if he can dig up someone's deceased aunt to use her specialized casket. He asks another if he can film her gynecological exam for his medical school thesis.

Tommy wants to see how far he can continue the conversation before the people he's called get too angry or upset. Then, he lets them know it was all a joke and there's nothing to worry about. These absurd conversations often get even more hilarious as they progress. They all end on a lighthearted note when Tommy reveals who asked him to do the prank. Listeners of The Steve Harvey Morning Show can listen to all pranks with the podcast version.

Prank calls are Tommy's trademark as a comedian. The jokester has released over ten compilation albums of this Run That Prank segment. Some of them even focus on a specific type of call, like ringing up celebrities or phoning people to inform them their spouse is cheating. The comedian is also quite prolific outside of this type of work. Tommy has been the opening act for Luther Vandross. He's also hosted the New Orleans Essence Festival for seven years. On television, Tommy is the host of the dating show Ready to Love and Black College Quiz Show.

The podcast Run That Prank offers listeners an entertaining escape from everyday life. With its short installments, people can play it whenever they need something quick to cheer them up. New episodes come out every weekday.
