Apply To Be On Family Feud

So, you and your family have watched Family Feud for years, yelling at the TV like it’s your second job. You’ve mocked contestants for blanking on “things you find in a bathroom.” You’ve sworn you could do better. Well, guess what? You can. Applying to be on the show is way easier than convincing your uncle to stop telling that same joke at every BBQ.

First, you need a team of five. Yes, that includes your weird cousin who still lives at home. The key? Chemistry. The producers want loud, lovable, slightly chaotic families who finish each other’s sentences—and argue over who ate the last slice of pizza. So, gather your crew: the mom who knows everyone’s business, the dad who thinks he’s funny, the teen who’s too cool for this, and the grandma who’ll steal the spotlight with a single “ding!”

Next, head to the official casting website. You’ll fill out a form that asks for your quirks, your best “weird family tradition,” and a video. Your video is everything. Make it natural. Film yourselves laughing, maybe recreating a classic “Survey Says!” moment. Don’t script it; just let your family’s chaos shine. If someone trips over a coffee table? Keep that in. Authenticity beats polish every time.

Pro tip: mention a unique family talent. Does your brother beatbox while your aunt juggles oranges? Producers eat that up. And no, you don’t need to be rich or famous. You just need to be you—loud, proud, and ready to embarrass yourself on national TV.

Finally, patience. The casting team might take weeks or months to respond. While you wait, practice your fast-mouth answers. “Name something you’d never wear in public.” Answer: “My uncle’s socks.” See? You’re a natural.

Here’s the best part: even if you don’t make it, the process is a blast. You’ll bond over silly fights, remember why you love these lunatics, and get a great story out of it. So grab your phone, rally the troops, and apply. Because life’s too short to keep shouting at the TV. It’s time to make Steve Harvey laugh—and maybe, just maybe, win the cash. Go get ’em, family.
