Game Show Mayhem: Steve Harvey Cracks Up Over “Robin Banks” on Family Feud
Steve Harvey, the quick-witted and expressive host of Family Feud, is known for his hilarious reactions to contestants’ outlandish answers. But sometimes, the contestants turn the tables, leaving Harvey in stitches. A recent episode showcased just such a moment, with a “Robin ___” prompt leading to an unforgettable exchange.
Contestant Aaron from the Clay family started strong with the number one answer: “Hood.” With only four answers on the board, victory seemed within their grasp.
Teammates Akkili and Brittney followed up with “Williams” and “Thicke,” keeping the streak alive. Harvey, a fan of Thicke’s music, expressed his approval with a hearty, “That’s my boy right there!”
Then came Sang, whose response of “Banks” turned the phrase into “Robin Banks,” eliciting uproarious laughter from Harvey and the audience. “R-O-B-B-I-N.
We’re robbing banks up in here!” Harvey joked, mimicking a robbery.
Despite its cleverness, “Banks” wasn’t on the board.
The Clays stumbled with Sunni’s “Robin Woods” (an author, she explained) and Aaron’s “And Batman,” earning two strikes. With the Myers family poised to steal, contestant Pam offered the perplexing “Robin eggs,” sealing the win for the Clays.
The final, unrevealed answer? Robin Redbreast.
