Steve Harvey Threatens to QUIT 'Family Feud' While Looking for Answers to the "Grossest" Question Ever

From Good Housekeeping

• Family Feud host Steve Harvey was grossed out by a recent prompt about earwax on the show.

• Contestants on the show had to name things a "cheap person" would use their earwax for.

• In reaction to one guess in particular, Steve declared that if it was on the answer board, he would "quit" hosting the show.

A recent round of Family Feud almost made host Steve Harvey walk off the stage in disgust.

During the game show, Steve got noticeably grossed out for having to ask contestants of the Kindell and Thomas families to "name something a cheap person might use their earwax for." Some of the equally disgusting answers that made the Family Feud big board right away were "food," "lotion," and "glue."

When Nate of the Kindell family ran out of viable guesses, Steve praised the contestant, saying he didn't know "what the h-ll you do with ear(wax)." Moments later though, another contestant guessed "brush your teeth," which really sent Steve over the edge.

"Let me explain something to you," Steve began as he turned to face the cameras. "If this up here [on the answer board], Imma quit." Lucky for Family Feud producers, it wasn't, and the game continued until the remaining answers — "lip balm," "polishing/car," "hair gel/hair wax," and "candles" — appeared on the board.

It was certainly a round of Family Feud that Steve won't soon forget. What's more, judging by the fan reactions to the YouTube clip, viewers of the game show will also be remembering the shocking round for a long time. "The producers of Family Feud have gone crazy in quarantine," one fan remarked in the comment section of the Youtube clip. "I am both disgusted and confused by this question, did they run out of game questions?" another wondered. "Most of those answers, NO, JUST, NO!" a different grossed-out fan declared.

Let's just hope Family Feud can come up with prompts that are less nauseating in the future. This was ... a bit much.
