It shouldn't be Richard Dawson. It should be Steve Harvey.

22 Dec 2015 13:40 Steve Harvey just messed up the announcement. Richard Dawson would have slapped her on the *** & called her "toots".

Yup, even better than Combs 14 Oct 2014 16:31 Steve Harvey?

That's like going from Richard Dawson to Steve Harvey ð­ð­ 13 Mar 2014 20:32 Steve Harvey is the best host this show has ever had! And I remember the first time it aired with Richard Dawson as host. 19 Feb 2014 18:58 Steve Harvey is an excellent host and adds humor to the game. However it has developed into a contest between the blacks and white as evidenced by a group of each on most of the shows. This could lead to a controversity brought about by some of our so called "special interest groups" who disagree with just about everything. I watched the show since Richard Dawson was the host. 13 Dec 2013 15:37 Family Feud .

Since its premiere in 1976, Family Feud has aired during 31 non-consecutive seasons. The show premiered on ABC and was hosted by Richard Dawson from 1976 until it was canceled in 1985, by which point it had been popular on both the network and in syndication. The series was revived by CBS in 1988 with Ray Combs hosting and expanded to an hour-long format in 1992 until its cancellation in 1993. Combs also hosted the accompanying syndicated series until 1994, when he was replaced by Dawson for one season, which also expanded to an hour-long format before being canceled in 1995. Later versions were hosted by Louie Anderson (1999â2002), Richard Karn (2002â06), and John O'Hurley (2006â10). Since the 2010â11 television season, Family Feud has been hosted by comedian/actor Steve Harvey.

16 Nov 2013 00:04 All respect to Richard Dawson, is now Steve Harvey's show. So funny. He's made watching the show a joy. 14 Nov 2013 15:05 I'd have to say either Richard Dawson or Steve Harvey. John O'Hurley was decent, Richard Karn was by far the worst 14 Nov 2013 14:52 Question for the day: favorite Family Feud host? Richard Dawson, Ray Combs , Louie Anderson , Steve Harvey. 28 Sep 2013 01:14 Steve Harvey is one very busy man. From hosting his morning radio show and his popular Daytime Talk Show, the comedian, actor and author is everywhere. AS the host of the syndicated Game Show â Family Feud ,â Harvey puts his comedic skills and his people skills to good use in the show so successfully hosted by Richard Dawson for so many years...

27 Sep 2013 21:31 It was some other guy, Richard Dawson, Richard Karn , John O'Hurley, and now Steve Harvey 31 Aug 2013 03:56 Steve Harvey is absolutely brutal as host of Family Feud . Just awful. An insult to the memory of Richard Dawson. 30 Aug 2013 03:02 binge watching Steve Harvey & his teef edition of Family Feud on GSN this entire love it, but wanna see sum Richard Dawson eps 12 Jul 2013 04:45 Steve Harvey you have NOTHING on Richard Dawson!!! He was the KING of Family Feud right ?!? 10 Jul 2013 21:47 Reference to Family Feud & a comment about needing Steve Harvey. Depressed that no one mentioned Richard Dawson. 27 Jun 2013 06:26 Wel, horse teeth Steve Harvey has cemented his position on the list( the .338 lapua list)I miss lil horny stumblin, slobbering, smooch in Richard Dawson on the died.

The list you ask?, here we go- when I have the looot , phys ability & motivation, I have compiled a list of people who, I feel warrant a trip off of our beautiful planet quik fast an in a hurry, used to be wacko Jack, but the kind dr Conrad Murray has freed all of us from that moo walkn chi-mo( child molester) 11 Jun 2013 23:17 What made Richard Dawson a great Family Feud host was that he: 1) Was quietly funny and clever, only raising his voice when he called out key phrases like "survey says!" and such. 2) Knew how to make the CONTESTANTS funny and did it well. Steve Harvey is exactly the opposite. He's yelling and making stupid faces through the entire show, and he doesn't let the contestants be funny. He always needs to top what they said. What an *** Horrible host.

27 May 2013 04:32 I swear, Steve Harvey on Family Feud has to be the best one since Richard Dawson 27 Mar 2013 21:49 Walked in the barber shop looking like Richard Dawson left looking like Steve Harvey. My Thai lady lays a mean fade. 27 Mar 2013 20:45 I liked John OâHurley okay. He was no Richard Dawson (or Steve Harvey), but he was alright. 16 Mar 2013 03:49 Steve Harvey might be the best Family Feud host since Richard Dawson. 14 Mar 2013 20:24 Steve Harvey was meant for the Family Feud ! Still would like to see Richard Dawson give him a big kiss...and TUPAC also. 11 Mar 2013 12:02 Is it just me---or has " Family Feud " gotten really risque with their questions/answers lately? Now I've always enjoyed playing along dating back to the Richard Dawson days (no, I do NOT plan on auditioning!), and Steve Harvey is a great host...

But have any of you parents had to shield your kids' ears or change the channel? I suppose the 70s Match Game had the same thing, and they had a long run. Still, ratings for "Feud" haven't been this high in some 20 years, they say... 05 Mar 2013 04:23 Sorry all u Richard Dawson fans, but Steve Harvey is the best thing that ever happened to Family Feud . He is stinkin hilarious. 04 Mar 2013 01:47 I just read someone say that Steve Harvey is the best Family Feud host and I died inside. (FYI Richard Dawson is. Duh.) 02 Mar 2013 04:59 Remember when Richard Dawson owned the Family Feud , we went to audition on Sunset n Vine in Hollywood. Now we Have to fly all the way to Florida ? I wonder do they pay for the flight n hotel expenses ? Steve Harvey has the Family Feud just Buzzing with high ratings , the highest it's ever been !

When we auditioned in 1983 we won the audition game and then we were diaqualified because back then we were members of AFTRA . 01 Mar 2013 03:46 Steve Harvey is hands down the greatest Family Feud host of all time. 27 Feb 2013 19:53 The Family Feud is great with Steve Harvey. 18 Feb 2013 15:27 Hosting Family Fued...Should I channel my Richard Dawson and kiss all the ladies or go for Steve Harvey and be a good Christian? :b 13 Feb 2013 18:31 I know this is stupid but Steve Harvey is the best family fued host ever. Besides Richard Dawson of course. 12 Feb 2013 21:17 Whoever said Richard Dawson was a pimp didn't know my boy Steve Harvey was Iceberg Slim 11 Feb 2013 23:36 I refuse to watch Family Feud unless Steve Harvey is the host. 09 Feb 2013 17:28 I miss Family Feud too.

Steve Harvey just isn't the same as Richard Dawson or Ray Combs ... Wait, I think I misunderstood... 09 Feb 2013 03:35 Steve Harvey is the best host of Family Feud ,, well besides Richard Dawson 08 Feb 2013 23:59 I'm not sure Steve Harvey is happy with his " Family Feud " hosting duties. 07 Feb 2013 23:05 I liked Family Feud better when Richard Dawson was groping women, or when John O'Hurley talked. Steve Harvey, I just don't get his deal. 07 Feb 2013 13:12 Watching a re-run of Family Feud with Richard Dawson it's gross how he kisses every female contestant.[ One of his trademarks, kissing all the female contestants, was one of the things that made the show appear to be a warm and friendly program, and he soon garnered the nickname The Kissing Bandit. On the 1985 finale Dawson explained that he kissed contestants for love and luck, something his mother did with Dawson himself as a child] Weird.

07 Feb 2013 04:24 What is your favorite TV Game Show ? Mine is Wheel of Fortune, Family Fued with Steve Harvey or Richard Dawson and Let's make a deal with Monte Hall. 30 Jan 2013 14:59 I never thought there would be another person that could replace Richard Dawson on Family Feud but I was wrong. Steve is so funny and entertaining. I truly enjoy him on the show and his own talk show now. He proves to be very compassion and smart. Thank you Steve Harvey for the many laughs and lessons in life. 28 Jan 2013 13:30 What do Richard Dawson, Ray Combs , Louie Anderson , Richard Karn , John O'Hurley, and Steve Harvey all have in common?

25 Jan 2013 23:36 NO disrespect to Richard Dawson, BUT Steve Harvey is freakin hysterical 25 Jan 2013 23:29 Watching Family Feud I think Steve Harvey is the best so far since Richard Dawson 12 Jan 2013 00:36 Steve Harvey on Family Feud rivals that of THE Richard Dawson 10 Jan 2013 00:42 Steve Harvey is certainly the best Family Feud host since Richard Dawson.. I don't know why it's important to say that, but it's true 21 Nov 2012 07:24 Who's your favorite Family Feud host? I would say Steve Harvey because he's funny and groovy. But the late Richard Dawson was the King of the Feuds. I like the answers on the surveys on Steve Harvey's incarnation of Family Feud . 17 Nov 2012 07:48 ya Steve Harvey. He's no Richard Dawson, but he's way better than Richard Karn !

14 Nov 2012 23:57 Steve Harvey surprised me at Family Feud he is better than Richard Dawson was. Sorry *** 11 Nov 2012 04:43 Steve Harvey on Family Feud is funny, but I do miss Richard Dawson. Great host, personality, and sense of humor. *** he got some every show too by kissing every woman lol 09 Nov 2012 00:56 No the crap is that its rigged...and Steve Harvey is no Richard Dawson. 06 Nov 2012 00:52 Growing up, I liked watching Family Feud with Richard Dawson. Now that they have Steve Harvey as the host, I love watching it. He is so funny. 28 Oct 2012 20:59 Steve Harvey is great, but Richard Dawson was the man. Current batch of surveys are racier than 30 yrs ago. 26 Oct 2012 17:41 Steve Harvey gets third at best behind Richard Dawson and Richard Karn and YOU KNOW IT.

19 Oct 2012 01:43 all I need is Richard Dawson, Louie Anderson , Richard Karn , John O'Hurley or Steve Harvey. 11 Oct 2012 16:37 Richard Dawson is still the king, but Steve Harvey is the best new-era Feud host. 11 Oct 2012 03:56 I never was a Game Show fan , Steve Harvey has changed that now I love watching Family Fued ! Richard Dawson use to love to kiss all the women on the show! Steve Harvey loves to find humor in everything! 10 Oct 2012 16:00 With all due respect to the late Richard Dawson, Steve Harvey was born to host Family Feud . 10 Oct 2012 11:25 As my gym has certain cable channels locked in thus forcing one to watch certain shows while in the cardio area, I have come to a simple conclusion. Steve Harvey, I have seen Richard Dawson host " Family Feud " and you are NO Richard Dawson.

26 Sep 2012 21:50 Steve Harvey is the best thing to happen to Family Feud since Richard Dawson. 18 Sep 2012 12:29 I have to say, I love the Family Feud , and I've watched the latest ones with Steve Harvey. I'm watching an old one this morning with Richard Dawson. With all due respect, Steve makes the game funner to watch. Mr. Dawson seemed very grumpy back then. Makes me wonder if he enjoyed being a Game Show host. 17 Sep 2012 21:02 Steve Harvey > John O'Hurley > Louie Anderson > Richard Karn . Richard Dawson is still the king though. 10 Sep 2012 20:02 I haven't watched Family Feud since Steve Harvey took over. Richard Dawson is probably rolling in his grave. 06 Sep 2012 22:12 I love the Family Feud with Steve Harvey, but Richard Dawson will always be the Best!! 24 Aug 2012 16:32 I love Steve Harvey he just totally cracks me up !!!

He makes some of those people on Family Feud look so stupid... He has made that show and I've watched it through about 6 hosts, since Richard Dawson... Yeah I know I'm OLD !!! 21 Aug 2012 03:43 When Richard Dawson was host of Family Feud mom used to say we shd go on that show. Can we go now mom? Steve Harvey cracking me up! 06 Aug 2012 23:25 Ok we are watching Family Fued(Steve Harvey) Peyton-Hey,that's not the original guy. She says, its it( Billy Mayes -stain remover man). Meaning the original guy is Billy. Me-No, original guy is Richard Dawson. Me- eye roll and laughing, thinking Only Peyton! 31 Jul 2012 22:42 Compare the questions and answers back from the Richard Dawson days to the current Steve Harvey days.

15 Jul 2012 20:07 Richard Dawson, dude from Home Improvement , Steve Harvey, handsome old white guy w/white hair but black eyebrows,love em ð 15 Jul 2012 03:03 My favorite Family Feud host is Richard Dawson, not Steve Harvey. 12 Jul 2012 05:06 Ok!!! To all my men!!! And you know who I'm talking about! I have to say this. Everyday at 12 noon I am in front of my tv watching Family Feud ! I watch it (2) because I love the show, always have even when Richard Dawson was the host but my number (1) reason now is because I love Steve Harvey!! Not only is he a great host, but as my Daddy Lovern Garnett would say, "he's sharp as a tack"! Men please take notice!!!

He DOES NOT wear such colors as sparkling pinks, neon colors that change when you move, suit coats that are only long enough to cover his nice backside (being nice here) or are his sleeves hanging down to his fingers or his pants dragging the ground, and I could go on. My men if you get a chance check him out and please take notice. I love a well dressed black man!!! Yes I said it! And thank God I still know a few. Stay away from places like NYF'S!!! Try a Men's Warehouse. I love you my brother's, really I do and i'm just saying. 11 Jul 2012 12:11 Other than Steve Harvey, Richard Dawson was the 2nd best host of Family Feud .. 06 Jul 2012 18:03 Steve Harvey is the best, funniest Family Feud host since Richard Dawson. He may even surpass him in my book. 03 Jul 2012 23:12 Steve Harvey is by far the best host of Family Feud since the late, great Richard Dawson. There, I said it! Phew!!

03 Jul 2012 17:32 some vile woman just told Steve Harvey that he was a better Family Feud host than Richard Dawson. 03 Jul 2012 13:26 Steve Harvey is a fool! Steve said family fued didnt ask them kinda question when Richard Dawson worked there... 28 Jun 2012 01:25 *** I can't tell which episodes are hosted by Steve Harvey! "Steve Harvey, Richard Karn , Richard Dawson" 25 Jun 2012 01:00 Who has more game Steve Harvey or Richard Dawson? 17 Jun 2012 05:53 " Family Feud " these days with incumbent host Steve Harvey are just as funny as the original shows back from 1976-1985 with the now late Richard Dawson! All the X-rated type responses & Steve's reactions to them are THE BEST! I crack up every time I watch the show! XD 12 Jun 2012 21:59 Why did I have a dream about Richard Dawson last night? Must have something to do with my repressed feelings about Steve Harvey's FF.

06 Jun 2012 22:15 These three clips are some of the funniest things I have ever seen on television. They all come from the " Family Feud ", the first one is from the Steve Harvey run, and the next two are from the Richard Dawson run. In the first clip, the question is "name something you put in your mouth but don't swallow." Of course, one contest says...well watch the clip and you will find out. The second is perhaps the most famous mishap of them all, the famous episode where during Fast Money Dawson asks "in what month does a woman begin to look pregnant?" Although the answer if funny enough, the hilarity does not begin until the second challenger comes out! Finally there is another famous clip, this one is funny from beginning to end. 05 Jun 2012 22:41 Richard Dawson, the longtime host of " Family Feud " known for planting kisses on female contestants, has died, his son said in a statement Sunday. He was 79. 04 Jun 2012 20:13 Richard Dawson's ghost just felt me up and shoved his tongue down my throat.

Louie Anderson 's / Steve Harvey's ghost would never do that 04 Jun 2012 00:58 Long before Steve Harvey was the host of Family Feud , there was Richard Dawson. Alfre Woodard will return for the fifth season of HBO's True Blood . 03 Jun 2012 23:37 Shame on the media. How could they not report on the passing of Richard Dawson? For those of you who don't know, he was the original host of the Family Feud . I remember he would get hate mail from sissy *** *** because he would occasionally kiss any black female that would be a contestant on the show (Dawson was a white man from Britain). He paved the way for many Family Feud hosts such as Ray Combs (god rest his soul too), Louie Anderson (I felt like he did well even though not many people felt the same way) and Steve Harvey (who I think is the best host since Dawson). R.I.P Richard Dawson. You will be missed. 03 Jun 2012 19:22 RIP to Richard Dawson, the best Game Show host ever.

Yes, better than Alex Trebek , Pat Sajak , Chuck Woolery , and esp. Steve Harvey. 03 Jun 2012 18:38 'Let's play the Feud" - Richard Dawson, Family Feud host from 1976-1985. He passed away at the age of 79. Richard is best known for kissing female contestants, an idea that Ray Combs or Louie Anderson or Richard Karn or John O'Hurley or Steve Harvey did not do. 03 Jun 2012 16:15 Before Louie Anderson and Steve Harvey, there was Richard Dawson, a man who hosted Family Feud with charm, good cheer, and a predilection for kissing contestants. 23 May 2012 14:26 Name a kind of crack. The first answer in the face-off was "crack-head". That stopped the host, Steve Harvey cold as he stood there in disbelief. Meanwhile, bot 23 May 2012 03:01 I haven't really enjoyed since the Richard Dawson days, but I'll admit that Steve Harvey is doing a helluva job as host!

20 May 2012 03:28 I like that on Family Feud Steve Harvey is giving away the same amount that Richard Dawson did in '74 19 May 2012 23:14 Family Feud hosts in order of greatness: 1. Richard Dawson 2. Steve Harvey 3. Louie Anderson 4. John O'Hurley 5. Richard Karn 6. Ray Combs (Looking back, his impending suicide was well-telegraphed) In other news, I will be at BareBones Grill in Ellicott City , MD w/ the Big Boy Little Band tonight. All of the Family Feud Hosts in Chronological Order Game Shows Expert By Carrie Grosvenor Family Feud has had a number of different hosts since its inception in 1976. Fortunately, the format of the game itself has remained almost the same throughout the years even with different names and faces at the helm. Here is the list of men who have taken on the role of Family Feud host over the years. AP 1. Richard Dawson If you had to associate only one name with Family Feud, that name would be Richard Dawson.

Dawson was the first host of the show and he defined the role like no one else could. He hosted from 1976 through 1985, and came back for a single season in 1994. Dawson's signature style and habit of kissing all the women on the show earned him a great deal of recognition. Sadly, Richard Dawson passed away on June 2, 2012, due to esophageal cancer. His body of work, which also includes acting roles in TV shows like Hogan's Heroes and movies such as The Running Man, leave us with an enduring legacy. continue reading below our video Highest Paid Female Actors Ever Ray Combs. Licensed under Fair use via Wikipedia 2. Ray Combs Ray Combs became the host of Family Feud in 1988, when the show was brought back after a three-year hiatus upon Dawson's initial departure. Combs was a comedian and fit in well with the show's format and style, though fans didn't take to him immediately. This likely has more to do with their love for Richard Dawson than any lacking on Combs' part. He hosted the show until 1994. Combs' story ends in tragedy.

He died on June 2, 1996, after hanging himself in his closet at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center, where he was being observed for signs of depression.

While most fans agree that he wasn't the best host the show has seen, he stands out for putting together a charity episode of the show after 9/11. The New York Fire Department played against the New York Police Department, and together they raised $75,000 for recovery efforts. Anderson hosted Family Feud through 2002, at which time he stated publicly that the show would not last much longer. He was very wrong in this prediction, of course. Richard Karn at the GSN Game Show Awards. courtesy Alex Purnell 4. Richard Karn Richard Karn replaced Louie Anderson in 2002, and stayed with Family Feud until 2006. Karn was a co-star on the hit sitcom Home Improvement, and was well-known to television audiences.

His style was a little more subdued than that of, say, Richard Dawson, but he made the game show his own for the years that he hosted. Richard Karn went on to replace another game show host a few years later when he succeeded Patrick Duffy on GSN's Bingo America. John O'Hurley. courtesy Getty Images Entertainment 5. John O'Hurley Though he had tackled numerous acting roles before joining Family Feud, John O'Hurley was best-known for his role as J. Peterman in the sitcom Seinfeld. Fans of Feud didn't warm up to him right away, but soon O'Hurley was one of the most popular hosts the show had seen. His warmth and professionalism were big draws for viewers. He also knew how to have fun on the show. John O'Hurley hosted the Feud from 2006 through 2010. Steve Harvey. courtesy Debmar-Mercury 6. Steve Harvey Comedian Steve Harvey joined the show in 2010 and is the current host of Family Feud. His sense of humor, obvious joy in the contestants, and impeccable timing have made him one of the most successful hosts the game has ever seen.

Clips of his funny moments abound on YouTube and his antics have often been fodder for water-cooler laughs. Harvey was also the host of the 2015 edition of Celebrity Family Feud. While once it was difficult to imagine Family Feud without Richard Dawson, it is now hard to see where the show would be without Steve Harvey. Courtesy NBC 7. Celebrity Family Feud - Al Roker While the six men listed above have all been regular hosts of Family Feud, let's not forget the special event programming that was Celebrity Family Feud . That edition was hosted by Al Roker , who has appeared on numerous celebrity game shows himself and also hosted MSNBC's short-lived game show Remember This? A Revolving Door of Talent While Family Feud has had a string of vastly different hosts throughout its runs, they have all brought something exciting and new to the show. Everyone has his or her favorite!

Decatur husband and wife on 'Family Feud' | Local News | decaturdaily.com Decatur husband and wife on 'Family Feud' By Catherine Godbey Staff Writer Sep 22, 2015 Buy Now Experienced reality and game show contenders will return to TV on Wednesday when a Decatur husband and wife duo, backed by relatives, go head-to-head with another team on “Family Feud.” “We were on ‘House Hunters’ and ‘The Newlywed Game.’ You would think we would get used to it, but it is still so nerve-wracking,” Kenyala Hicks said. For Jody and Kenyala Hicks, though, the fun outweighs the nerves. Anchored by Jody, the team included Kenyala, her sister and brother-in-law, Kristi and Derrick Garrison, of Arab, and her mother, Faye Marion, of Arab. Marion, Kenyala Hicks said, served as the team’s inspiration and motivation. An avid daily “Family Feud” watcher, Marion has remained a devoted fan through the eras of hosts Richard Dawson, Ray Combs, Louie Anderson, Richard Karn, John O’Hurley and Steve Harvey.

After four decades of watching the family competition and talking about one day auditioning for the “Family Feud,” Marion realized her dream when tryouts for the show, now filmed in Atlanta, took place in Birmingham in May. A week after auditioning, the family received a callback for a second tryout in Atlanta. “They want to place you in a game-type situation, so they know who is going to freeze up and whose personalities shine through,” Kenyala Hicks said. The family passed the final tryouts and, on their second day in Atlanta, faced off in the 30-minute episode scheduled to air Wednesday on WAFF at 3 or 3:30 p.m. “Being at home compared to being on stage is crazy different. At home you are relaxed and there is no pressure. “When there, you have Steve Harvey looking at you, the lights are on and the crowd is waiting,” Kenyala Hicks said. “I’m sure we gave some entertaining and absolutely off-the-wall answers.” The years of “Family Feud” watching paid off for Marion, who her daughter described as the “all-star” of the team. “She loves Steve Harvey and he loves her.

He told her that whenever he came to her for an answer she had a look on her face like, ‘Of course I know the answer.’ And usually she did,” Kenyala Hicks said. In 2011, Jody and Kenyala Hicks appeared on “The Newlywed Game” and won an eight-day trip to St. Croix, the Virgin Islands,. In 2012, a “House Hunters” crew followed the couple as they navigated the real estate market. “This is all about making memories and having fun. That’s why we do it,” Kenyala Hicks said.

When asked a question, the first person to give the number one answer on the board (based on a survey of 100 people) wins the round. If the person guesses an answer that is not number one, the other family's team member gets a chance to guess. The person who wins then gets to decide if they want to play the round for themselves, or pass it to the other team. ♦The rest of the family members on the team that's playing now have to make guesses. If their answer is on the board, the next member guesses. If it isn't, they get a strike. 3 strikes mean that family is now done guessing and the other family gets a chance to steal. If they give just one answer that's still remaining on the board, that family steals the points.

If they don't get it, the original family gains the points they had originally accumulated. ♦The first family to get to 300 points now gets the chance to send 2 of their members to the Fast Money round. The first person makes their guesses while the other is backstage. Then the first person goes back with the group while the second person takes their guesses. To win the $20,000, together the two must come up with 200 points within the 5 questions they are asked. If the second person's answer is a duplicate to the first person's, they will hear a buzzer which tells them to guess again at that question. The first person in the original show got 15 seconds to answer and the 2nd person got 20 seconds because it was harder. Now they get 20 and 25 seconds.

Trivia The 25 Greatest Game Shows Of All Time - PopCrunch The 25 Greatest Game Shows Of All Time by William March 18, 2013 TV game shows have entertained viewers for years with everything from trivia questions to reality competitions – read on for our picks of the 25 greatest game shows of all time. 25.

Love Connection Hosts: Chuck Woolery (1983-1995), Pat Bullard (1998-1999) Years on TV: 1983-1995; 1998-1999 Super-suave Chuck Woolery hosted Love Connection, a different take on The Dating Game, where contestants would select their match from three potential dates. The audience voted on which date they thought was the perfect match and the contestant would reveal his/her choice. Chuck’s interview of the couple’s date provided some of the best moments – especially when the dates were a total disaster. 24. Name That Tune Hosts: Red Benson, Bill Cullen, George DeWitt, Richard Hayes, Dennis James, Tom Kennedy, Jim Lange Years on TV: 1953 -1959; 1974-1981; 1984-1985 Name That Tune is the predecessor of shows like “Don’t Forget the Lyrics,” and yeah, looking back it is heavy on the cheese. But who didn’t love the courage of those contestants who could “name that tune in two notes” – for reals? 23.

Double Dare Hosts: Marc Summers, Bruce Jenner, Jason Harris Years on TV: 1986-1993 Nickelodeon kids’ channel featured plenty of slime and other messiness with the kids’ game show Double Dare. Hosted by super cheeseball Marc Summers (he of the Cosby sweaters), kids were put through their paces with trivia questions and physical challenges. Each show ended with a sloppy obstacle course. 22. Press Your Luck Host: Peter Tomarken Years on TV: 1983-1986 Any game show where eager contestants shout out “Big bucks! No whammies!” has to make the list, despite the dorky animated “Whammy” character that took away contestants’ cash and prizes. Check out this video of some whammy highlights: 21. Queen for a Day Host: Jack Bailey Years on TV: 1947–1964; 1969–1970 An oldie for sure, but in its day, Queen for a Day allowed women to escape their everyday drudgery and become royalty (if only for a day) when the audience voted the biggest sob story with the applause meter.

We’d love to see this one make a comeback – but spa vacations would have to replace a new washer and dryer, for sure. 20. The Mole (1st two seasons) Host: Anderson Cooper Years on TV: 2001 – 2004; 2008 The Mole had a great thing going during its first two seasons on the air with host Anderson Cooper. Then he went and got all schmancy CNN newsman and The Mole took a dive into celebrity territory. The Mole made a revival in 2008, but it couldn’t hold a candle to those first two seasons. 19. Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Host: Jeff Foxworthy Years on TV: 2007- present Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader is genius, right? Challenge contestants to show their smarts with elementary school questions… only it’s not so easy to recall fifth grade history when you’re all grown up. Hosted by the most famous redneck of all, Jeff Foxworthy makes the losing contestants fess up “I am not smarter than a 5th grader.” Oh the misery. 18.

Cash Cab Host: Ben Bailey (US) Years on TV: 2005 – present Who needs an elaborate and/or cheesy game show set when the whole thing can take place in a pimped out taxi cab? Hosted by comedian Ben Bailey, this game show on wheels is a clever diversion from your typical trivia show – and makes you wish the cash cab would pull up the next time you hail a taxi. 17. The Dating Game Hosts: Jim Lange (1965-1980), Elaine Joyce (1986-1988), Jeff McGregor (1988-1989), Brad Sherwood (1996-1997), Chuck Woolery (1997-2000) Years on TV: 1965-1980; 1986-1989, 1996-2000 The Dating Game is the original matchmaking game show (Take that, The Bachelor!), starting in 1965 and running through 1980 with host Jim Lange, who introduced the show’s signature ending of blowing a kiss to the viewers.

The Dating Game saw a variety of hosts through the years but ended with the big cheese of game show hosts himself, Chuck Woolery. Host: Ken Ober Years on TV: 1987 – 1990 This MTV game show classic combined pop culture with quirky host Ken Ober, a unique format and a set that was supposed to be Ken’s mom’s basement. Losing contestants were sucked off the set in their leather recliners and don’t forget the final challenge – naming music videos from clips played on a pile of TVs. 15.

Pyramid Hosts: Dick Clark (1973-1988), Bill Cullen (1974-1979), John Davidson (1991-1992), Donny Osmond (2002-2004) Years on TV: 1973-1988; 1991-1992; 2002-2004 Whether it was $10,000 or $100,000, the set for Pyramid was a killer – those monitors for the clues and of course, the ultimate final pyramid challenge with the fenced in “winner’s circle” and the cubes that revealed each correct answer in the pyramid. Classic Pyramid! 14. Win Ben Stein’s Money Host: Ben Stein Years on TV: 1997 – 2003 Who would’ve thought that lawyer and presidential speechwriter Ben Stein would be a worthy host and competitor on a Comedy Central game show? The host became a contestant during the second segment and the final challenge pitted the winning contestant against Ben Stein himself!

And don’t forget sidekick Jimmy Kimmel for the fun factor during the first three years. 13. The Newlywed Game Hosts: Bob Eubanks (1966-2000), Jim Lange (1984), Paul Rodriguez (1988-1989), Gary Kroeger (1996-1997) Years on TV: 1966-2000 The Newlywed Game delivered some of the best TV game show memories in the history of the genre. Originally hosted by Bob Eubanks, The Newlywed Game introduced audiences to “whoopee” as viewers learned about newly married couples’ sex lives in a test to see how well each knew the other.

12.Family Feud Hosts: Richard Dawson (1976–1985; 1994–1995), Ray Combs (1988–1994), Louie Anderson (1999–2002), Richard Karn (2002–2006), John O’Hurley (2006–present, daytime), Al Roker (Summer 2008, Celebrity Family Feud) Years on TV: 1976 -1995; 1999-present While Family Feud really hit its stride in the 70s and early 80s with host Richard Dawson (although he was totally creepy kissing all the ladies), it’s seen mini-revivals along the way with hosts like Ray Combs, Louie Anderson, Richard Karn and John O’Hurley. Survey says! Family Feud is a winner. 11.

Let’s Make a Deal Hosts: Monty Hall (1963-1977; 1980-1981; 1984-1986; 1990-1991), Bob Hilton (1990), Billy Bush (2003) Years on TV: 1963-1977; 1980-1981; 1984-1986; 1990-1991; 2003 If you had to name one of the zaniest game shows, Let’s Make a Deal would definitely fit the bill. Part of the fun was host Monty Hall’s selection of contestants from an audience of people in crazy costumes trying to stand out in the crowd. Once the dealing began, contestants could choose from behind door or curtain number one, two or three – with either legit prizes or total crap. 10.

Password Host: Allen Ludden, Tom Kennedy (Password Plus), Bert Convy (Super Password), Regis Philbin (Million Dollar Password) Years on TV: 1961-1967; 1971-1975 (Password Plus 1979); (Super Password 1984-1989); (Million Dollar Password) You had to love the hushed announcer revealing the secret password: “The password is…” Password offered up plenty of great celebrity appearances (C’mon! Betty White rules Password!) and a variety of dimwitted clues and answers. Here’s a great Super Password clip featuring major screw ups by Patty Duke, Rip Taylor and host Bert Convy. 9.

Hollywood Squares Hosts: Peter Marshall (1966-1981), Jon Bauman (1983-1984), John Davidson (1986-1989), Tom Bergeron (1998-2004) Years on TV: 1966-1981; 1983-1984; 1986-2004 Circle gets the square! It’s tic-tac-toe, celebrity style – what’s not to love? The scripted comedy on Hollywood Squares was delivered better by some than others (Hello? Paul Lynde in the center square?!) and featured regulars like Florence Henderson, Sandy Duncan, George Gobel and Joan Rivers. A 1998 revival put Whoopi Goldberg in the center square for four seasons. 8. Deal or No Deal Host: Howie Mandel Years on TV: 2005 – present Deal or No Deal put Howie Mandel back on the map – that alone has gotta be worthy of landing on our list of the 25 greatest game shows.

Add Mandel’s dramatic pauses, calls from the banker and crazed contestants playing a game of chance for $1 million, and… well, we just dare you to look away. (Bonus points for sexy girls with briefcases.) 7. Wheel of Fortune Host: Chuck Woolery (1975- 1983), Pat Sajak, (1983-present) Years on TV: 1975 – present It’s not the longest-running syndicated game show for nothing…Wheel of Fortune has only slightly evolved over the years though, updating the puzzle board with touch technology (hey, you don’t want Vanna White hurting herself by turning those letters!) and giving the wheel a new look over time. Question is, how much longer can Vanna do this before she’s rolling a walker in front of the puzzle board? 6. Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
