Steve Harvey can’t even with Rhys Darby on ‘Celebrity Family Feud’: ‘What the Hell's going on?’
Rhys Darby was on Celebrity Family Feud, Sunday. While his show, Our Flag Means Death, is wildly successful with viewers, his answers on the Feud started out bumpy.
Steve Harvey asked, “‘Passed away’ is a nice way of saying someone died, name a not so nice way.”
After a moment of thought, Darby replied, “I'd like to say carked it.”
Darby is from New Zealand, where carked it is a more common phrase. Perhaps Harvey has not visited the island country, because he seemed completely baffled by the word.
“What the hell's going on? I need subtitles for these guys sometimes, too,” Harvey said. “This game's going to hell right here.”
Unfortunately for Rhys, ‘carked it’ was not on the board. Several viewers were surprised that Steve was unfamiliar with the phrase. One person tweeted, “This is Aussie/Kiwiphobic, carked it was my first thought too, it absolutely should be on the board.”
Despite the wrong answer, Rhys’s team rebounded and won $25,000 for Algalita Marine Research and Education.
