How To Get On Family Feud

So, you’ve been shouting answers at Steve Harvey from your couch for years, and you’re certain your family is funnier, faster, and way more photogenic than the ones on TV. Good news: getting on Family Feud is totally possible—and it’s way less intimidating than, say, explaining TikTok to your grandma. Let’s break it down, shall we?

First, you need a team of five relatives. Blood or marriage counts, but please, no exes who’ll use the buzzer to settle a grudge. Next, hit the show’s casting website and submit a video. Keep it under two minutes: show off your family’s chemistry, not your cat’s magic tricks. Steve wants to see energy, loud voices, and at least one member who’ll say something embarrassingly hilarious about Aunt Carol’s cooking.

If you get a callback, prepare for the audition. They’ll test your “survey says” reflexes and your ability to not freeze like a deer in headlights when the buzzer goes off. Pro tip: practice with a friend reading fake questions. “Name something you find in a bathroom.” If you yell “a bathtub full of regrets,” you’re probably hired.

Now, the big day: filming. Dress bright and coordinated—no one wants to look like a funeral home ad next to the flashing lights. And remember, Steve might roast you. Laugh it off, because that’s the bit. If you bomb a question, just high-five your cousin and blame the studio lights.

In the end, it’s not about the money (though $20,000 would be nice, right?). It’s about the story you’ll tell forever: the time Mom yelled “toilet paper” so loud the studio shook, and you still didn’t win a car. So grab your squad, practice your goofiest answers, and apply. Because the best prize? Getting to say, “We did it—and we left Steve Harvey laughing.” Now go make your family famous—the weird, wonderful way.
