Family Feud - Game Show Host Week (1983)

Back in the day when they had all the good, wholesome questions!! Now its, either sex, pick a number, or what rhymes with what.

[@paulwright6044]

All good, wholesome questions? With answers like "Make Love" (11:10), "Good Lover?" (27:45) "[Nervous Learning] "Sex" (54:30), and "Has Affair?" (1:32:57)? And those are just references to sex (and using euphemisms for sex doesn't change the fact that it's about sex -- even though they STILL USED THE WORD). There were also references to drug and alcohol use throughout the show this week (and regularly throughout the show's history). And let's NOT get into how a host kisses women he's not involved with on the lips...

[@jaimesonwilliams5298]

This was before the good wholesome questions.

Otherwise, he wasn't shown on camera walking, which was evident when he was a contestant on Password Plus/Super Password, Match Game/Hollywood squares hour, or any of the pyramids (Including his hosted $25,000 version, and the Dick Clark version which was his final TV appearance).

According to Adam's book for Gene Rayburn, the latter was invited to play, as a sort of "no personal feelngs" towars him for quitting Match Game on a sour note, but Gene declined.

[@deedeegreen8338]

I kind of thought that's what happened, because Gene surely would have been there if Richard wasn't the host. I read that things got quite bad, on the set of Match Game. I don't know why Richard became so bitter, but it was hard to watch him and not want to slap him up side the head, for acting like a petulant child.

[@kirstenwatkins8998]

I was wondering why Gene wasnt here. Didnt realize he and richard didnt get along

[@sharcrum]

I know that a lot of people love Richard but I don't think he could hold a candle to Gene. Richard thought far more of himself than he actually really encompassed. While on match game, he was a wonderful compliment to Gene and the show but he began to think he could do a much better job than gene and in doing so, he hurt the match game and gene. I didn't really like him on the feud. He seemed to change entirely after taking on that show. And I don't blame gene for refusing to appear on family feud with him.

[@wynottgivemore9274]
