Celebrity Family Feud
is a
broadcast network
spin-off
of the
syndicated
American
game show
Family Feud
. Like the primetime
All-Star Specials
aired during the late 1970s and early 1980s by the show's then-network home
ABC
, the episodes feature celebrities and their real families, or teams of celebrities playing as a 'family' for charity, rather than the regular format of ordinary families playing for cash and prizes.
Since 2015, the series has aired as part of ABC's "Summer Fun & Games" block of primetime game shows.
History
[
edit
]
The first incarnation of the spin-off was broadcast in 2008 by
NBC
as part of a block of summer reality series it branded as
All-American Summer
.
[1]
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), the NBC celebrity version was hosted by
Al Roker
of NBC's morning show
Today
.
[1]
This incarnation only lasted for one season before it was cancelled in March 2009. There were six episodes, with the first episode airing on June 24, 2008 and the last episode airing on July 29, 2008.
On April 9, 2015,
ABC
announced that it had picked up a new incarnation of
Celebrity Family Feud
, premiering on June 21, 2015 and hosted by
Steve Harvey
?the current host of the syndicated version of
Family Feud
.

[5]
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 current syndicated version of
Feud
, which was taped in
Atlanta
,
Georgia
from 2011 until 2017 and again since 2020, this version has always been produced in
Los Angeles
,
California
, and features the return of
Burton Richardson
, who announced the show from 1999 to 2010, to the series. The show has been renewed annually, with an eleventh season announced on February 10, 2024, and Myeshia Mizuno assuming the role of showrunner.
[6]
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.

Series overview

Format
[
edit
]
During the NBC run of
Celebrity Family Feud
, each episode featured a tournament format with three games. The winners of the two semi-final games played a final game, with the winner advancing to Fast Money. Due to time constraints, the format was slightly modified from the 2003 format used by the syndicated version, in that the double value round is eliminated, with each match containing two single rounds and a triple round. However, the game still played first to 300 points or sudden death. In Fast Money, if one or both team members accrued at least 200 points, the group won $50,000 for their charity; otherwise, $25,000 was awarded to the group's charity if they failed. 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. Winning teams earn $25,000 for their chosen charity by scoring 200 points in Fast Money, or $10,000 if they do not; teams that lose the main game earn $5,000 for their charity. On September 12, 2021, both teams, with the Shaughnessy family winning the game, were playing for the same charity, so each team member played Fast Money for the $25,000 prize. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
, the eighth season used a socially distanced set with individual podiums, which allowed for some teams to have six players instead of the standard five.
In the 2023 ABC holiday special, which consisted of a single game, an extra round was added, with the total number of points required to win changed to 500. After the winning team accumulated 200 points in Fast Money, they won $50,000 for their charity; the losing team received $25,000 for their charity.
