This Contestant That Made Steve Harvey Lose It On Family Feud

“Family Feud” is one of the longest-running game shows in the United States — if not THE longest. That said, host Steve Harvey has seen all sorts of people and family dynamics that nothing could possibly shock him anymore.

However, even he admits that he had this one contestant who has managed to be indelible in his memory.

In one episode, one of the contestants had appeared to be so distraught over something that Steve eventually cut the cameras and spoke to the man in private. When he found out the reason, Steve found himself breaking into tears.

All About Giving

Steve Harvey is not new to show business. Having been in the limelight since 1985, he is no stranger to living under the public eye.

His most prominent commitment, “Family Feud,” has been on TV for more than a decade now, so nothing really can surprise him anymore.

In his show, he has handled different types of people and been at the middle different kinds of family issues (whether comedic or serious). But this one contestant clearly took the cake as the most unforgettable.

That “Infamous” Contestant

During the filming of a specific episode, there was a contestant who so tense and edgy the entire time that Steve had eventually taken an interest in his personal state.

At first, the host tried to make light of the situation, being the natural joker that he is. He didn’t let the man’s poor mood also affect his hosting. When the show was about to end, that was when the contestant had started being uncontrollable.

The really strange behavior then led Steve to change how he usually closes the show.

Rising From The Ashes

Steve didn’t always have the luxurious life that he and his family enjoys now. As a newcomer, he started doing stand-up comedy in small, unknown bars.

The money wasn’t so good and there were plenty of times when they were short on cash, coming to a point when he became homeless. In between those stand-up gigs, he found himself sleeping in his car.

Needless to say, he knows how it feels to live within nothing in your pocket. But looking at the contestant, who was sweating so profusely, he said to himself that even he didn’t get to a point where he shook so badly. What was the guy’s problem?

Sweating Profusely

The man had been sweating so badly his perspiration had been seeping through his shirt. So many things run through Steve’s head upon seeing it. What could be the reason why this man was so tense and sweaty?

In fact, there was a point during the filming of the episode when the crew had to pause a while so that they could have the contestant change his shirt.

To Steve, it had two possible reasons: the man was super nervous or that he wanted to win so badly that he was already panicking.
