Steve Harvey’s “Family Feud” is typically a mild, TV-G program that families can sit down and watch together on Sunday nights. This past Sunday, Harvey and one of his celebrity guests brought a few laughs when the comedy went a bit TV-14.
In Sunday night’s battle of NFL greats on “Celebrity Family Feud,” Bruce Smith, a former Buffalo Bills defensive end, was struggling to think of answers during the high-pressure “fast money” round. He and other NFL Hall of Famers were competing for charity against some current NFL players.
In the round, Harvey asked Smith a series of questions that were scored by what a group of surveyors would respond with as the best answer. One question sparked a rather adult response.
“If Captain Hook was moonlighting as a handyman, he might replace his hook with what tool?” Harvey asked.
Smith replied swiftly with “a hammer,” but because teammate Michael Irvin had already given that answer, he got buzzed. Struggling to find a second answer, Smith responded with a much more racy runner-up answer for Captain Hook’s alternative tool − “his penis.”
The crowd began laughing before Harvey actually recognized what Smith said. He then began the next question but interrupted himself and jokingly said: “What the (expletive) did he say?”
After a few seconds of laughter from the audience and contestants, Harvey apologized. “I swear I’m sorry, that just came out,” said Harvey. “I don’t even know where that came from?”
The funny answer and Harvey’s response brought laughter across social media as well.
Funny answers are commonly blurted out on the game show, but Smith’s answer might go down in the books, Harvey told him. “Your (expletive) is going on YouTube, though,” Harvey warned Smith. “You're gonna be the greatest clip ever played.”
Smith did not earn any points for the obviously incorrect answer, but he helped his team solidify a $25,000 donation to the Professional Athlete Foundation.
