Brief History Of Family Feud
Family Feud premiered on July 12, 1976. Richard Dawson served as host. The show ran from 1976 to 1985 on ABC and in syndication. The series was rebooted in 1988 with Ray Combs as host until 1994.
Dawson returned to another version of the game show in 1995. The show has undergone many changes over the decades. Steve Harvey is currently the host of the program. He’s the host of Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud.
The show has exploded in popularity in recent years. Snippets of the contestants’ answers often go viral on social media. Most of the responses baffle the host, who’s left baffled. This is what brings new viewers to the show.
As a result, producers continue to push the envelope. They love to create surveys with spicy questions. It’s what gets people talking. But some viewers think there’s too much focus on sex.
