*During an interview with ET, Steve Harvey wished Kanye West the ‘best’ after hospitalization, and joked that he might follow and find himself heavily medicated in a psyche ward.
“I love Kanye,” Harvey told ET. “I’ve met him personally. He’s a cool guy to me. I just wish him the best.”
West was released from UCLA Medical Center last Wednesday and has since been treated as an outpatient at home with his family.
BTW — there are rumors that Kriss Jenner took out an OUTRAGEOUS life insurance policy on West. Insiders say he is one of a handful of celebrity clients that she “manages.”
If this is true: shady white woman + multi-million dollar life insurance policy taken out on successful but damaged black man = this will not end well. #staytuned.
Kanye “will remain getting outpatient treatment till he is fully recovered,” a source told E! News exclusively. “Kim wants him to continue getting therapy even after all of this. He has support from so many people.”
Harvey offered a bit of advice for the troubled star, saying, “Just surround yourself with well-meaning people — people who care about you.”

The comedian also teased that West might have found a good way of taking a break from the showbiz grind.
“I think I’m going to take a page from him,” Harvey joked. “I think I’m going to just snap and go off, and go lay down for a month. I think that’s how I’m going to get out of TV this year. I’m going to go on stage and cuss someone out.”
59-year-old Harvey is currently at the helm of eight shows, which include Family Feud, Celebrity Family Feud, Steve Harvey’s Funderdome, Little Big Shots, Little Big Shots: Forever Young, The Steve Harvey Morning Show, and the Steve Harvey talk show.
ET caught up with Harvey as he prepped to host Fox’s “Showtime at the Apollo” two-hour special. The famous New York theater is where he launched his career in 1993.
“Luther Vandross was booed here,” Harvey recalled. “The very first night I performed here, I was on stage with Jamie Foxx. I didn’t even know who Jamie Foxx was. He didn’t know who I was. We were just two comedians, trying to get on TV. Jamie Foxx got booed that night. I was standing there with him.”
Harvey explained why the Apollo audience can be more intimating than other crowds.
“They expect you to do well or else you should not have had the nerve to walk out on this stage,” he said. “Go somewhere else and work it out, but you cannot come to the world famous Apollo Theater and not have it together. We don’t care. That has never changed.”
“Showtime at the Apollo” airs TONIGHT, Monday (12-05-16) at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
