Celebrity Family Feud

Early incarnations Family Feud spin-offs with celebrity contestants date back to the show's original, Richard Dawson-hosted incarnation on ABC, which —from May 8, 1978 until May 25, 1984—occasionally featured primetime "All-Star Specials" played between teams of cast members from different television series (but most often fellow ABC shows). NBC run In March 2008, NBC announced that a spin-off of the current syndicated run of Family Feud—Celebrity Family Feud—would air during its summer lineup that year. It was promoted as part of "All-American Summer"—a slate of reality and game shows being aired by NBC in the lead-up to the 2008 Summer Olympics (including fellow FremantleMedia series ''America's Got Talent''). Instead of featuring the host of the syndicated version at the time, John O'Hurley (who was hosting the short-lived Secret Talents of the Stars for CBS), Celebrity Family Feud was instead hosted by Al Roker of NBC's morning show Today. It marked the first time that any version of Family Feud aired on ABC since the end of the original version hosted by Richard Dawson in June 1985. Unlike the syndicated version of Feud, which was taped in Atlanta, Georgia from 2011 until 2017 and again since 2020, this version had been taped in Los Angeles, California from 2015 until 2024, and featured the return of Burton Richardson, who announced the syndicated version of Family Feud from 1999 to 2010, to the series. Richardson left Celebrity Family Feud in December 2023, and the show left Los Angeles, California in December 2024. The eleventh season, which began airing in July 2024, featured Myeshia Mizuno assuming the role of showrunner, and Rubin Ervin (the current announcer of the syndicated version of Family Feud) replacing Richardson as announcer. The order for season 11 also included two The Best of Family Feud clip shows presented by Harvey—Decades of Laughs (a retrospective featuring notable moments spanning the history of the show's run), and The Best of Steve Harvey. On April 30, 2025, it was announced that the show was renewed for a twelfth season, which premiered on July 10, 2025, and it moved to Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, where the syndicated version has been taped since 2024. Under the terms of Fremantle's agreement with ABC, the network has a strict limit on how many episodes of Celebrity Family Feud it can release each season, so as not to compete against ''Family Feud's'' regular run in syndication. From September 17 to September 22, 2025, ABC aired reruns of Celebrity Family Feud in the 11:35 pm late-night slot. The broadcasts preempted Jimmy Kimmel Live, during its suspension due to the controversy around Jimmy Kimmel's remarks following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. ==Series overview==

During the NBC run of Celebrity Family Feud, each episode featured a tournament format with three matches. The winners of the two semi-final matches played a final game, with the winner advancing to Fast Money. While the matches were still played to 300 points as usual, each match consisted of only three rounds (two single rounds and a triple round, with sudden death if needed, and no double round). The first team that reached 300 points advanced to fast money, and they earned $25,000 to the group's charity and could have their earnings doubled to $50,000 if one or both team members accrued at least 200 points in fast money. Families that lost and did not play Fast Money received $10,000 for their charity. The ABC version does not use a tournament format and follows the same format as the syndicated version. Most episodes feature two self-contained games, each concluding with Fast Money. Some episodes in later seasons consist of a single hour-long game instead, extended with an extra round, and the game is played to 500 points instead of 300. Winning teams earn at least $10,000 and could even get upgraded to $25,000 for their chosen charity by scoring 200 points in Fast Money; teams that lose the main game earn $5,000 for their charity. In two episodes where both teams played for the same charity, Fast Money was played jointly by one member of each team. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the eighth and ninth seasons used a different staging for social distancing reasons, consisting of individual podiums in a staggered layout for each team member; this also allowed some teams to have six players instead of the standard five. ==International versions==
