I watched a documentary on Family Feud and apparently he was a topical rude it’s all about me star off camera unfortunately. I was shocked when I heard that myself.

I second that. Nice to contestants but terrible to staff.

instaBlaster...

also was a WW2 veteran and a POW, British RAF.

@@jamesradcliffe3985 I have never heard of this & can't find anything supporting this. He was born in 1932 too. Way too young to be plausible.

RIGHT!! That line gets me everytime

He actually said “Well Played” 😂

@@JamesK7911 No he didn't.

@@dii392 Yes he did

@@JamesK7911 Nope, you’re wrong.

@Mort COIL Oh honey, start taking your meds again. When you go off them, you say stupid shit like that on the internet.

@@beatlequeen06 😂😂

Blues Boy - bang on and they're so polite with hair that doesn't move LOL

I love how all of this is made practically because they had to, and the behind the scenes dude was late a few times.

70s & 80s. I miss those days. We watched this show and Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right everyday.

Sameeee

@@zeagazetotsiyon2942 Card Sharks The Dating Games. Match Word. Newlywed Game. Hollywood Squares. Ok. I seriously showed my age.LOL

So did the contestants back then.

Richard Dawson will never be matched.

I mean so does Harvey.

@@and_the_first_last that's not because of the show... The whole society became immoral now

Steve Harvey is a thug....

Blood Legion Oh that was a beauty, that one. Felt so sorry for Richard - he couldn’t keep a straight face. 🤣

C21L01 He really couldn’t! He kept laughing for several minutes straight and for a point couldn’t even ask the question without laughing 😂 it just cracked him up!

One of the best clips if the show.... "September"

Can’t be contained in a compilation, deserves its own vid lol

It was hinted at the very end. A legendary moment in the history of this show. Just hysterical.

I grew up watching the show. Though I was a child, it was good to see Richard be so genuine, unique. The contestants of course added to it, but Richard helped it along

yet he was a dickhead behind the scenes, fought Felsher most of the time, would bark at the producers at a new change or a simple error, and got hated by Mark Goodson later on

He's not wrong

Fun fact: The woman on the other side of that face-off question is Gretchen Johnson (of the Johnson Family), who would later go on to marry Richard Dawson.

Oh...

@@B1izzardHawk He's actually not wrong. It kills a lively party quite literally (actual bodies on the floor with blood)

@@zeeboss2762 that's what I said

Ikr? Wayyy better now

@@markjohnson9458 No. Richard Dawson was the BEST.

@@austindreher2791 IMO he was awesome, Ray Combs was pretty cool too.

True, but Steve Harvey got pretty close. He is the best host not named Richard Dawson.

Richard Dawson was the best ever because he was a sweet loving man in every way. RIP.

Q: Name an animal with three letters in its name A: Alligator

There was a famous moment on the British version of the show - called "Family Fortunes" - in which one player gives the answer "turkey" to the first three questions in Fast Money. Hilarious! Search KZfaq for "family fortunes turkey"!

An animal with three letters: Alligator.

Ralph Ewell you do know he randomly kissed children?

He was a creep, just like Joe Biden

@@johneasler9967 Like Donald Trump

@@salimelchappo2307When?? He did have permission from the Ladies he kissed on the show. Some preferred being kissed on the cheek so they were kissed on the cheek. I remember episodes when the Ladies would say where's my kiss. It's really sad these days you can't show any type of affection. If you do your sick. Sad. Just Sad

These days, women will talk about breasts and not bat an eye.

It's so sad that women like that are extinct now

We've come a long way now folks. Someone's I wish I was born few decades earlier just to relish the zeitgeist.

I really liked him on Match Game They always picked him when it came time to win the big money

I don't miss the SOB one bit.

I’m 36 so I wasn’t around or a tv watcher in Dawson’s heyday, but I find him delightful and he cheers me up - if you want to see him now, Match Game and Family Feud are on Buzzr network

ROBERT KELLY and you felt a need to comment because?? Did he hurt you personally?

I love how Dawson added to it “The dreaded Red Skeleton!” ROTFL!

She's a cutie!

Also was Steve Harvey with a family has two strikes and a contestant gives a stupid answer he would just walk over to the next family and point to the board while he's walking away and yell out this stupid answer

At least Steve Harvey kept his lips to himself.

@@damienleigh9943 normally with dawson the women were kissing him and grabbed him too do so...dawson didn't make the women kiss him or ask them too or anything else

The questions are also not as good. And there’s a good luck story with his mom or grandma behind those kisses

@@damienleigh9943 Back then physical affection was not considered as sexual harassment.

The sunglasses were actually because he had an eye infection. He wore them on Match Game at the same time.

"YES!"

Now they scream P3N15 and D1CK without a second thought. 🤭

[gasp] "Eighteen!"

Yes, that blond was the one who burst out, "EIGHTEEN!!!" with a gasp and a head-shake before saying to Dawson parenthetically "I'm not really 18." His delightful response was, "Could have fooled me, just a second..."

For those who never saw that comedy gold, search KZfaq for "I will not give up on this question"! 😁😂😆

I was about to comment that.

Thanks for warning

You get everything! You win! Good day sir!

He personally asked every contestant before the show: lips, cheek, hand shake. Nobody did it against their will.

@@almightycinder FINALLY one other person besides myself who knows (and acknowledges) this. I see so many stupid comments about "what a pig" he was, and yet he got permission prior to taping. Besides, HE was a pig!?!? What about talking about drugs and sex like there's no tomorrow like we do nowadays? "Singers/rappers" like Cardi B and her "WAP" song and video ate thoroughly DISGUSTING. Thank you for being a fellow human being with a brain!!

I showed my son an episode of this. His eyes widened when he saw Richard Dawson kiss all of these women and comment on one women's outfit. I said yeah today would be harassment guy was nice about it and he didn't discriminate on color or anything like that so I thought it was a good thing.

Poor Ray committed suicide.

I was not a big fan of Ray Combs. He was okay and had his moments. I liked Louie Anderson but I didn't like the way the producers changed the rules (high score wins vs 300/400, fourth question was one strike only) but that wasn't his fault. Richard Karn and John O'Hurley were nice guys but not that funny. Steve Harvey is the only host since Dawson with the right amount of snark, although sometimes he milks a moment longer than he should. But I have to say that again, the producers are my biggest issue with the show - it's almost as if the families are coached to be as outrageous as possible, with many answers in poor taste. Apparently "S&P" (standards and practices) is relatively non-existent now. Harvey's facial responses to some of such answers is the comedic premise on which such outrageousness is based, but I miss the ABC original version.

The second one, that is.

I thought of "60 Minutes", the hugely popular CBS newsmagazine show.

@Jay Ce Wasn't "Ocean's Eleven" a TV show before they made a movie of it?

@UCNADVkpy9nnLFqe_ZtGCvMQ The first result is a Wikipedia quote. "Ocean's Eleven is a 2001 American heist film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ted Griffin. The first installment of the Ocean's franchise, it is a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack film of the same name."

The original Dragnet had the year in its title, and Emergency! was sometimes known as Emergency! One.

Three's a Crowd as well.

everyone makes mistakes. Kind of a stupid he said that.

one was a great movie,the other a terrible tv show.

+tomloft2000 Car 54?,a terrible sitcom?.

Stalag 17 was the movie that spawned Dawson's "Hogan's Heroes." So he better have known that one.

I thought he said "Starlight 17"

And he said that to Richard Deacon from "The Dick Van Dyke Show"!

Ah yes, the character from “Who Killed Who?”

Same here man!

Ff now days is wat too sleazy for a family show.the statements are set up to make you say something sleazy.steve needs to get his grammar straight also

@@edwardmoore5325 Most of the shows these days are sleazy. It's the only way to get someone's attention today.

That's baby stuff compared to the ones you hear today.
