After introducing the returning champs, the Waites family, Steve moved to the other side of the stage to get acquainted with the episode’s challengers, the Stephens.

Once there, Steve asked the family spokesperson, Demone, “what you got there,” while pointing to the framed photograph placed in front of him.

It was then revealed at the Waites weren’t the only ones making their return to the long-running game show.

Demone held up the photograph and answered: “Forty years ago our family was on this show.”

The black-and-white photo showed then-host, Richard Dawson, talking with Demone and his cousins’ parents, also monikered the Stephens family.

The current Family Feud host appeared shocked as he repeated: “Forty years ago?”

The spokesperson nodded in response before adding: “Our aunts and parents were on this show.”

Apparently still taken aback, funnyman stated: “Wow, and you’re back forty years later,” as the studio audience applauded.

Steve then, somewhat jokingly, added: “Now it was a good show back then but this the one right here.”

DEFINING MOMENT

Later after all the intro were made, another member of the family revealed to the host: “I got something that I need to do for you?”

Confused, Steve repeated his statement before allowing him to proceed.

The Stephens family member, Derone, continued: “I’m here to validate a very defining moment in your life, Steve.”

Both the audience and the game show host seemed apprehensive as Derone revealed that Steve once did a show at a club called the Comedy Zone in Memphis, Tennessee.

He disclosed: “All of a sudden you started your show and then you stopped and in through the door comes a beautiful woman.

“You stood there for a moment and looked at her, you picked up the mic finally and said ‘Woman, I don’t know who you are but one day I’m going to make you my wife.’”

Steve, who appeared to be having an out-of-body experience, pointed at the man as the crowd cheered.

He then walked over and fist-bumped Derone before he announced: “That’s a true story.

“That woman he’s talking about is a chick named Marjorie.”

Steve married his wife, Marjorie Elaine, in 2007.

In disbelief, Steve asked: “You were there that night?” as the contestant confirmed that he was.

The standup comic then looked back at the man and stated: “D**n Derone, that’s alright.”

ONE WORD

Earlier in the week, Steve brutally mocked a contestant for saying that you could get in trouble for “streaking” on a nude beach.

The host kicked off the round by instructing the contestant, Kwame, to “Name something you might get in trouble for doing on a nude beach.”

Kwame confidently replied: “Streaking, going nude. Letting it all out.”

Steve cracked up laughing as the audience cheered and said sarcastically: “Good answer.”

Looking stern, he then said to the player: “Now listen to me Kwane, I’m going to read the question again and I want you to say the exact same answer.

“Name something you might get in trouble for doing on a nude beach.”

Kwame’s face dropped as he realized his mistake.

“Oh, OK,” he said sheepishly. “I missed that one word there. I missed that word.”

Steve continued to chuckle, saying: “Uh, uh. Streaking!”

Later in the show when it was Kwame’s turn to answer a question, Steve again brought up his mistake.

He fist-bumped Kwame, before imitating him by declaring: “Streaking!”

NOTHING BUT JOKES

Steve has no problem poking fun at contestants, which he demonstrated when he mocked Sherri Shepherd‘s wild appearance on Celebrity Family Feud.

Steve dubbed Sherri, 55, as one of “the top three worst celebrity” players in the history of Family Feud.

During his recent appearance on the Sherri show, Steve recalled her off-the-wall moment from 2018 which featured the 55-year-old answering “Cut his penis off!” to the prompt: “Name something a lady cop might do to her husband in the bedroom.”

“You are the worst!” Steve began his mini-rant.

“What did that have to do with the question?”

Sherri defended herself: “I was so nervous when you were asking the question.”

The comedian disagreed and continued: “I know your history! I’ve been with you through your marriage and everything!

“That was personal!”
