Steve Harvey’s Hilarious “Family Feud” Ribbing: From Tardy Veterans to Edible Underwear
Steve Harvey, the quick-witted host of “Family Feud,” never misses a beat when it comes to playfully teasing contestants. Whether it’s their questionable answers or their personal anecdotes, Harvey finds the humor in every situation. Recently, even a US Army veteran wasn’t immune to his comedic jabs.
When contestant Ashley from the Jastrzembski family (all in uniform!) took a little too long to reach the podium, Harvey quipped, “You’re the last person I expect to see late!” Clearly, military punctuality didn’t quite translate to the game show setting.
The question that stumped both families? “Your lover is dieting.
Name a low-calorie food you might make your edible underwear out of.” The ensuing answers ranged from the sensible (“Fruit,” offered by Antonio) to the slightly strange (“Lettuce,” declared by a celebratory Lee).
However, things took a truly bizarre turn with answers like “lean meat” (Shawn) and “salmon” (Michael). Harvey’s reaction to Michael’s fishy suggestion?
“Oh, I smell like salmon. Michael pulls his pants down, smells like salmon.”
The laughter in the studio was contagious.
Even when Tanashia offered “rice cakes,” Harvey wasn’t impressed. “That ain’t no good answer…
You put some pants on made out of rice cakes, see how long I stay over there. Not fittin’ to chew off them dry drawers.”
Despite some initial success, the Watkins family ultimately struck out, giving the Jastrzembski family a chance to steal. Unfortunately, they couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity, losing the round. But even in defeat, the laughs provided by Harvey and the contestants made for another memorable “Family Feud” moment.
