During the ever-puzzling Two Truths and a Lie segment on “Claim to Fame,” Monay’s clues were that her famous family member is her dad, an athlete, and/or has won an Emmy Award. Another contestant posited that Monay looked similar to “Family Feud” host Steve Harvey. However, a quick Google search reveals that Harvey has merely won a few Daytime Emmy Awards (still impressive, of course, but not what the clue said), and Monay is definitely not one of his seven children. “Monay is not related to Steve Harvey,” one knowing fan wrote on Twitter. “Her celeb is a comedian though. She might win because I don’t think these people know him.”
So, who has the Internet come to a consensus on as Monay’s relative? “I’m pretty positive ‘Monay’ is J.B. Smoove’s daughter,” concluded one user. Trust us, you’ve seen Smoove in several movies and television shows, from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the younger-leaning “Claim to Fame” cast might not know this actor right off the bat. Considering the clues, Smoove fits into the Emmy-winning category for his 2021 win for his role in “Mapleworth Murders.”

To top it off, another online sleuth found a podcast episode in which Monay appeared as Jerrica Brooks in 2021, in which she specifically discussed being Smoove’s daughter. “Yep: Jerrica Monay Brooks,” the user guessed from her “Claim to Fame” pseudonym.
