How To Apply To Family Feud

Ever watched Family Feud and thought, “I could totally do that”? You’re not alone. The show is basically a national pastime where families yell answers at a buzzer. And the best part? You can actually apply to be on it.

First, find your tribe

You need five family members, and they have to be legit relatives. We’re talking blood, marriage, or adoption—sorry, best friends don’t count here. The show loves big personalities, not perfect families. Think about who you already argue with over the dinner table; that’s your dream team.

The secret sauce: be a little weird

Producers don’t want a boring, stiff group who all dress the same. They want chemistry and chaos. Do you have an uncle who tells bad jokes, or a cousin who can’t stop laughing? That’s gold. Your application should scream “we fight, we laugh, we hug”.

How to actually submit

Head to the official Family Feud casting website—it’s free and easy. You’ll fill out a form with your family’s story, ages, and why you’re fun. Then you’ll upload a two-minute audition video. This is your moment to shine.

What to put in that video

Don’t just say “we love the show.” Show them! Answer a fake survey question like, “Name something you’d find in a clown’s car.” Be loud, be wrong, be hysterical. Producers watch for energy, not accuracy. If you laugh at your own dumb answers, you’re already winning.

Why it’s cooler than you think

Think of it as a mini-vacation with your crew. You get flown to Atlanta (where they film), and you stay in a hotel. Plus, you might win cash, but really, the real prize is bragging rights. Imagine telling your coworkers you stared down Steve Harvey while he made a joke about your grandma’s cooking.

But what if I’m shy?

That’s okay! The show is designed to be a roller coaster, not a speech. You don’t need to be a comedian—you just need to react honestly. If you shout the wrong answer and slap the buzzer, the audience will roar. Awkwardness is entertainment here.

Common mistakes to avoid

Don’t submit a video that’s too polished or scripted. Family Feud loves raw, messy family fun. Also, don’t pick family members who hate each other—the show is about playful arguing, not real grudges. Stay away from drama that would make Steve roll his eyes.

How long does it take?

You might hear back in a few weeks… or a few months. Patience is key. Use that time to practice shouting “TOP ANSWER” at each other. And remember: rejection isn’t personal. There are thousands of families applying, and they can only pick a few.

Final thought: just try it

Seriously, what’s the worst that could happen? You bond with your family over a goofy video, and maybe you get a shot at the big stage. Applying is free, fun, and gives you a story either way. So grab your weirdest relatives, press record, and let the chaos begin. You might just be the next family screaming “GOOD ANSWER!” on national TV.
