“Lights! Camera! Confusion!” – Steve Harvey Left Baffled by “Family Feud” Contestant’s Pointing Prowess
“Family Feud” is no stranger to hilarious on-air gaffes, often leaving host Steve Harvey in stitches or, in this recent case, utterly bewildered. A contestant’s struggle to find the right word led to a memorable moment of pointing and perplexed expressions that had everyone in the studio scratching their heads.
The question posed by Harvey was, “Name something a rich guy might spend thousands of dollars on when he throws a party.” The Milanese family kicked off with Kris’s quick answer of “Women,” landing at number four on the board. Chris followed up with “Food,” securing the number two spot.
The game continued with Alicia confidently stating “Alcohol,” which was the top answer. Then came Tony, who boldly declared, “Drugs, Steve,” much to Harvey’s unenthusiastic but accepting reaction, as the answer was indeed on the board.
It was David’s turn next, and this is where things took a turn for the hilariously perplexing. He clearly had an answer in mind but seemed to have lost the word somewhere between his brain and his mouth.
Instead of speaking, he began pointing emphatically at the studio ceiling. A visibly confused Harvey mirrored the gesture, trying to decipher David’s silent clues.
Finally, with a breakthrough, David exclaimed, “Lights! I was gonna say lights!”
ending Harvey’s bewilderment.
Alas, “lights” was not on the board. Renee’s answer of “Clothes” also missed the mark.
Chris, back for another attempt, offered “People to come to the party,” a response that amused Harvey but didn’t earn any points. With three strikes, the Milanese family’s run ended.
The Seymour family then stepped up for a chance to steal the game. After a tense family huddle, Malea confidently declared “The DJ,” which proved to be a winning answer, securing victory for the Seymours.
The final unrevealed answer on the board? “Ice sculpture.”
It was a classic “Family Feud” moment, proving that sometimes, even when the words fail you, a good pointer can still leave a lasting impression-and a very puzzled Steve Harvey.
