One recent episode left him so stunned that he clutched his chest in mock distress, barely able to contain his disbelief.
A Wild Question Leads to Even Wilder Answers
In a face-off between the Piergrassi and Scott families, Harvey posed the survey question: “Name a word or phrase that starts with ‘pot’.”
As is typical on Family Feud, the responses ranged from logical to completely absurd—something Harvey has come to expect after more than a decade hosting the show.
Laura from the Piergrassi family was first to hit the buzzer and confidently answered, “Potluck.” The board lit up, confirming her response as the top answer, giving her family control of the round. The next few answers, however, took things in an entirely unexpected direction.
Linda attempted “Pot roast,” followed by Maurice with “Pot belly.” Surprisingly, neither of these made the board, leaving the team with two strikes. The pressure was now on Scott, who hesitated before finally saying, “I’ll never hear the end of it, but pothead.”

Harvey, known for his quick wit and expressive reactions, immediately seized the opportunity to roast Scott. “It’s not what you said. It’s the enthusiasm you had. That’s what threw me,” he quipped.
Despite the controversial nature of the response, the board confirmed “Pothead” as a correct answer, drawing cheers from the audience.
The Answer That Nearly Took Steve Harvey Out
When it seemed like things were settling down, Nick followed up with “Pot pie,” another correct response. The turn then circled back to Laura, the contestant who had started the round strong. But this time, she had an answer that would shake the entire set: “Pot-tato.”
The audience erupted in laughter and applause, much to Harvey’s disbelief. Stunned, he turned to the crowd, demanding, “Why are you all clapping?” The contestant stood her ground and confidently asked, “Does it start with ‘Pot’?”—a logic that even Harvey had to admit was technically correct.

Still convinced there was no way it would be on the board, Harvey prepared to walk toward the Scott family, expecting them to steal the round. But to his absolute shock, “Pot-tato” was not only correct, but it ranked as the second most popular answer.
Harvey, completely overwhelmed, clutched his chest as if having a heart attack, staggering back in disbelief. “Oh my goodness! I am so sorry!” he said, apologizing to Laura while struggling to recover from the absurdity of the moment. Laura, victorious, simply grinned, enjoying her moment of triumph.
Fans React to the Viral Moment
The hilarious exchange quickly became a viral sensation, with fans flooding social media and YouTube with comments.
One viewer joked, “Steve: I’m just gonna start walking this way. Let’s see if it’s up there… POT-ATO! Steve proceeds to have a heart attack.” Another commented, “I legitimately thought Steve was having a stroke when I first saw the POTato video.”
With Family Feud constantly delivering unforgettable moments, this episode proved that even after years of hosting, Steve Harvey can still be completely blindsided by a contestant’s unexpected logic. And in this case, it was all thanks to one incredibly creative interpretation of a simple word.
