The “Family Feud” host — who reportedly supported Barack Obama in his elections — will meet with the president-elect at Trump Tower on Friday, Sean Spicer said.

Though he did not endorse him, last February Harvey said he thought Trump would make politics exciting if he was elected.

“Donald Trump—we’ve seen nothing like him in politics before,” Harvey told the Daily Beast during an interview. “He’s very entertaining to me. I’ve got to tell you, I can’t take my eyes off of the man when he’s talking — mostly because I can’t believe he’s saying what he’s saying out loud.”

“But I like him, personally. I do! I think he’s exciting for politics. Politics haven’t been this exciting in a long time — or as confusing, ever, in the history of it. I think Donald Trump not being a politician is making a lot of people nervous who are politicians.”

“He uses words that politicians aren’t supposed to use,” he added.

“He called everybody up there stupid the other day. ‘You’re stupid.’ I didn’t know you could say ‘stupid’ as a politician! As a comedian, it works just fine. I’m endorsing him for making this fun to watch, but I’m not endorsing Donald Trump.”
