Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What year did "Family Feud" debut on the ABC network?

Answer: 1976

"Family Feud" aired on ABC all nine years. It also aired in syndication from 1980-1984, but "syndication" doesn't count as a network.

2. Who was the announcer of "Family Feud" during Richard Dawson's first run?

Answer: Gene Wood

This is the show that, undoubtedly, Gene is most known for.

3. Who was the announcer of the pilot to "Family Feud" in 1976?

Answer: Johnny Olson

Johnny Olson was a good announcer, but he was way too busy announcing "Match Game," "The Price is Right" and the other billion or so game shows out there, so the reins were handed to Gene Wood.

4. Before "Family Feud," Richard Dawson was a regular panelist on which other Mark Goodson game show, which "Family Feud" is considered a spin-off of?

Answer: "Match Game"

He was the one most frequently picked during the "Super Match" round. He never appeared on "Tattletales," and though he did appear on "I've Got a Secret," he wasn't exactly a regular.

5. The Bullseye round was played on this version.

Answer: False

The Bullseye round would not be introduced until Ray Combs' version in 1992.

6. In May 1980, "Family Feud" reached a milestone number of episodes. How many episodes were produced?

Answer: 1,000

For the first round, the question was "Name something 'Family Feud' would like to say to America." The four answers on the board were, in order: "Thank You," "America," "For," "1,000 Shows."

7. Finish this Richard Dawson quote: "If I look happy tonight, I am. I just got the oil drilling rights to..."

Answer: Jack Lord's hair

Richard said this on the pilot. He must've liked it; he said something similar on the actual first episode.

8. Which two families were on the pilot of "Family Feud" in 1976?

Answer: Madvig and Speir

The Hatfields and McCoys would appear on the "Family Feud" for a week in 1980. The Reid and De Leon families were on the first episode of Richard Dawson's return in 1994.

9. Which affectionate gimmick did Richard Dawson become notable for?

Answer: Kissing the female contestants

At first, the act of kissing the women was ill-advised, as Dawson was verbally bashed by many because of the fact that these women were of different races and such. "Feud" co-creator Mark Goodson went on the show and told viewers to write in and say whether or not the kissing should stay. The overwhelming response was "Yes."

10. On Richard Dawson's final show in 1985, he did a "mea culpa" act, apologizing profusely to whom?

Answer: The "Family Feud" staff

For those nine years, he had made the other staffers' lives hard with his ego, especially producer Howard Felsher, whom Dawson even threw off the set once. What'd you think? Drop me a line, hear?
