New year, baby!

Fox has announced that Steve Harvey will anchor their New Year's Eve bash.

Last year's NYE effort by the Family Feud host brought some cackles on Twitter about his fashion choices (see screenshot) and some more substantial criticism over a few racial remarks. But as usual in TV land, the Nielsen Company had the last word. Harvey and co-host Maria Menounos, who will also return to the show, drew record numbers for Fox's NYE to-do.

For those who don't remember or never knew, Steve Harvey officiated at Maria Menounos' wedding on last year's bash. I doubt that she'll get married again, but maybe the Feud master will preside over another couple's nuptials. Or maybe not. Let's just hope the weather is a little warmer and Steve can wear something less goofy. The mammoth white coat and hat have got to go.
