Steve credits Chip for saving his career after sitting him down for 12 hours at the edge of the cancellation of a gig. This encounter was part of Kim&#8217;s brief visit to the show to discuss her new autobiography, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/kimfieldsfan\/2017\/07\/07\/kim-autobiography-available-now-for-pre-order\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Blessed Life<\/a>.&#8221; Kim was rocking the red mohawk look in her characteristic self-confidence and grace. I only wish she had more time to discuss the details in the book.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Steve did not ask Kim about anything specific in the book. He made me wonder whether he had read the book yet. I realize he and the Fields family are close, so perhaps he does not feel the need to read the book. However, a golden nugget or a particular insight is always good to encourage book sales.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Steve casually flipped the pages and observed there a lot of good pictures; he also expressed confidence in the book&#8217;s content. He then asked Kim what was hardest about being on &#8220;The Facts of Life&#8221; as a child actress. Kim responded by noting that she had to spend her formative years in a fish bowl, but she had a strong village to support her. <\/p>\n<p>Steve also asked Kim what she hoped people would get from the book. Again, I would have preferred for HIM to provide his personal insight and get Kim&#8217;s response. Kim said she hoped people would get inspiration and enjoyment. It was at that moment Steve announced that everyone in his audience would receive a free copy of Kim&#8217;s autobiography. (He also later gifted them a Butterball Electric Fryer from Masterbuilt just in time for Thanksgiving!).<\/p>\n<p>The other half of Kim&#8217;s time on the set was spent sharing the stage with Tatyana Ali. Tatyana and Kim play sisters in the Lifetime Christmas special &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mylifetime.com\/movies\/wrapped-up-in-christmas\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wrapped Up In Christmas<\/a>.&#8221; They each agreed that working with the other came naturally. Kim said it was easy and things &#8220;fell into place.&#8221; Tatyana responded by saying Kim is down to earth.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip below Kim shares her experience dating her now husband Christopher Morgan as a dating testimony. Kim said neither she nor Chris were actively looking to date when they met through a mutual friend at dinner. In an eyebrow-raising moment of candor, Kim admitted that when she saw Chris she said to herself that &#8220;he can get it.&#8221; Oh my! Read the book for more!<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/GlC7oJrH-wDEn8s82.html\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nKim discusses her dating life after Tatyana Ali reveals her dating secrets&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the above clip from Steve Harvey&#8217;s talk show, Harvey and Chip Fields, Kim&#8217;s mother, have a touching moment.
