[@sureshmukhi2316]

I never knew that Sammy Davis Jr. Co hosted an episode of Family Feud! This was a great find!

[@verlinden80]

2 Great Men! U don't see Legends like them anymore. RIP Sammy and Richard

[@anthonylarocco573]

Hamzah Elsulayman that is true!

[@fornitegood122jr6]

@@anthonylarocco573 it's true

[@markgaston4416]

You know, I saw this episode when it was on ABC. I was a boy at the time. What a thrill it was and so cool for Sammy to emerge. And even cooler to see the two men embrace, followed by a kiss from Richard. Sammy pinch hit well during that first question. A great moment in the series history.

[@jasonbeard4713]

Wonderful! This was a lot of fun!

[@verlinden80]

Oh amazing it must of been to appear on family feud and SDJ makes an appearance! The luckiest family feud contestants ever

[@kristinejohnson6822]

Two wonderful good men... WOW !

[@rhamiemanuelmoura-yameen8416]

You could see and feel the love these two entertainers had for each other. It was genuine , not staged. As Mr.Dawson would say , his mum truly taught him that God makes children like the 🌈 of different beautiful colours.

R.I.P. Sammy Davis Jr and Richard Dawson

[@davidrichter9164]

Sammy was my all time favorite of the Rat Pack. Everytime he would start singing "Candy Man" people would go nuts.

[@janellewilliams7908]

Thanks for the memories!, loved Richard Dawson on the feud,Steve is Ok,but Richard is Classic and add Sammy Davis Jr and it was a double thrill!.

[@katrinagoss8138]

Sitting here waiting on my food to get ready, and working on my friends laptop. i decided again, to type up Family Feud Sammy Davis, and to my ultimate suprise I found it. God Bless YOU Sir! I have to say that I was thrilled to finally find it. And it was long over due. Thanks for putting it on here.

[@barbaraboyd3967]

Love it!....Two great guys!

[@Rlotpir1972]

Sammy also made a cameo on Jim Perry's "Card Sharks".

[@LandondeeL]

There was absolutely no mention on the Family Feud clip special of this, what was perhaps without question and probably without a doubt, the greatest Family Feud episode of them all.....

[@jwavada]

I remember hearing that Sammy was a big fan of Family Feud

Today is Richard Dawson's birthday. It would mean a lot to see some more of his episodes. Hoping you may have more of the Morast family. Again, thanks for uploading the Dawson era!

[@pamhowden8161]

Two of the funniest guys

[@lynmosley2259]

That was great!

[@ckersh74]

You know, once they got past the preliminary stuff, Sammy really did okay there.

[@markgaston4416]

Yes, he did.

[@snake9911]

I thought that Sammy Davis Jr was great. He was always funny. I always thought that when Richard Dawson was the Host, he was a great Host. Sad that he and Sammy Davis Jr are both gone.

[@howtube61]

I saw the clip of Sammy Davis Jr. hosting and to me he was very funny and new the mechanics of the game well. He would have made a great game show host but he never got the chance to host one.

[@snake9911]

@@howtube61 It's to bad that he didn't get a chance to host a game show. You are correct about that. I remember seeing him play on the show All in the Family back in the 1970's. Sammy was great 👍. Thanks 👍.

[@deneenjeffries2768]

Sammy always had a lot of fun with other performers!

[@RealTime88]

My favorite episode ever!!!!

[@wudaddy]

I've been looking for this episode. Thanks for the upload.

[@dannydalrymple9225]

This episode aired as part of the Fully Stuffed Family Feud Thanksgiving Marathon last year.

[@drewcox2103]

Watching the Blower/Ohde introduction and the comments, I got this pegged as Friday, August 3, 1979.

[@jimmeasel1985]

Final answer on the board...Laxative...We'll be right back with your regular host...bhahahahahahahahaha

[@stellarocquie7957]

Fantastic! ( But Steve's audience would be asleep, ten minutes into this, LOL. )

[@thomash.schwed3662]

Very true-on both counts! The “Feud” just isn’t the “Feud” without Richard Dawson. And this appearance by Sammy Davis, Jr. made it all the better.

[@infamyinfamy]

Would love to see the 1979 episode featuring the Foltz family if anyone has it

[@dadaevan]

Sammy was one of a kind! 💌

[@stevemeinecke]

😂 He is a natural god he was so good

[@2005dave]

at about 6:08 you can see Howard Felsher

[@Jheyanneify]

Watching this n 2019 born n 1984, seeing strangers kiss is weird

[@stellarocquie7957]

Because they're not gay?

[@abcql46126]

I was in family feud I was donna

[@timothycarpenter7189]

Would it not be funny if Dean Martin would actually find the ABC Studios and surprise Sammy while Dean is already stewed.

[@HalRiggs]

What a surprise

[@toddinthemiddle]

how did anniversary not make it for a once a year celebration?

[@markstevens9249]

Would have rather had Sammy take over than Ray Combs, he was natural out of the gate.

[@marthacraig1792]

Saw that somewhere before lol

[@njr75003]

Does anybody know if the DAVIS VS LAWRENCE/GORME All-Star Special ever got made/played?

[@Adamdavidk1]

It never did.

[@njr75003]

Thought as much. Too bad.

[@RealTime88]

Nicholas Roche That would have been TV history!!

[@gabeh7923]

Sammy shoulda been a game show host. He was awfully good hosting here.

[@luvaboy772]

Sammy is COKED out of his head. 😆🤣😅😂

[@travels129]

Ur dude have respect !!

[@Chief_360]

Take a bath!
