San Diego, CA — February 23, 2026
For decades, Steve Harvey has been a familiar voice in American households. Through humor, warmth, and an unshakable belief in people, he has spent his career showing up for everyday Americans — the ones carrying the most and often offered the least. Today, that mission takes on a new form.
Turnout is proud to announce our partnership with Steve Harvey, joining forces to help Americans navigate the complex government systems that too often feel impossible to face alone. Every year, Americans spend a collective 12.1 billion hours on government paperwork. That number represents real people: working parents, veterans, caregivers, elderly and beyond.
Millions of Americans are expected to navigate Social Security Disability, healthcare advocacy, and veteran benefits, with little guidance and even less time. These systems were not built with the everyday person in mind. And the weight of that shows up in people's lives every single day. Turnout exists to take that weight of people's shoulders by helping them navigate complex government systems.
Turnout combines experienced human advocates with AI-powered technology to reduce the friction, delays, and administrative complexity. That way, people can access what they're owed as Americans without putting their lives on hold.
To date, Turnout has helped 10,000+ Americans successfully navigate their Social Security Disability benefits alone, and we're just getting started.
Steve Harvey didn't get to where he is alone. He's said it himself — the right people showing up at the right time changes everything. That belief sits at the core of who he is, and it's exactly what Turnout was built to do.
"Turnout gives people access to the help that they need," said Steve Harvey. That's it.That's the whole thing. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for someone is make sure they don't have to figure it out by themselves.
"Steve has always spoken to people who feel stretched thin or overlooked by systems that don't work for them," said Itai Hirsch, Founder and CEO of Turnout. "This partnership is about meeting people where they are and helping them move forward with more confidence and support."
Both Steve Harvey and Turnout exist for the same person — the everyday American who deserves better and just needs someone in their corner to help them get there. This partnership signals something bigger than a collaboration. It's a reminder that navigating life's hardest moments doesn't have to be a solo act. Nobody gets somewhere alone. And with Turnout, nobody has to.
