Here are the out-there guesses over the years that left Steve Harvey contemplating the very meaning of life.

NO WAY, HOSE
Family Feud tasks two competing families to guess the most popular answers to surveys previously posed to 100 people.
Sometimes, the answers aren’t just far from the survey but from reality.
In 2013, Steve, 66, asked a contestant named Anthony to: “Give me a boy’s name that starts with the letter H.”
Smacking the table with confidence, he replied: “Hose.”
His family clapped, saying, “Good answer, good answer.”
Steve stared into the distance before gesturing to the board to see if “Hose with an ‘H’” was there, it was not.
One fan recently went wild under a YouTube clip of the incident and wrote: “Jose?! And everybody clapped?! WTF??!! Lol”
Another wrote: “The confidence in that man makes it a lot funnier lmao.”

‘PORK-UPINE’
In 2012, Steve asked a contestant named Will to: “Name something that follows the word ‘pork.’”
Answers like “-loin” had already been guessed correctly, but without a moment of doubt, he answered: “upine.”
Harvey asked: “Huh?”
Will repeated the word “upine” repeatedly, as the audience burst out laughing and his family cheered: “Good answer.”
Steve looked up and down at his cue card and said: “He said ‘cupine.’ What?! What is ‘cupine.'”
He sarcastically ruled: “This is the greatest answer I’ve ever heard, I feel you. It’s gonna be number one – on YouTube!”
“You’re the only person that said ‘cupine,'” the comedian-turned-beloved host continued to heckle.
“That porcupine answer never gets old,” one YouTuber recently appreciated, as naturally, all these clips have made their way to viral status.

FRENCH FRIED
In 2018, Steve tasked the two players at the buzzer to ring in first, and whoever got the top answer would get the round.
The prompt was: “Name a country a man with a mustache should visit to meet a woman with a mustache.”
Nathan buzzed in first and said: “France,” on the board with eight responses from the survey.
His rival Darrell then buzzed in to try and steal by guessing: “Paris.”
Paris is in France, so Darrell’s guess didn’t quite map out.
The crowd lost it, and Steve put his arm around poor Darrell.
“Don’t even worry about this, let’s – you go back to your spot,” Steve comforted not even needing to see if it was up there.
However, Darrell still wanted to see if Paris was on the board, which it was not.
One fan reacted under its YouTube clip: “That fact that he wanted to check the board is the funniest part.”

LEFT ON READ
In 2014, contestant Rell was asked to: “Name something that’s hard to do with your eyes open.”
“Read,” he guessed – which just didn’t make sense at all.
Steve walked directly to the front of the stage and pointed to Rell’s mother, who was in the audience.
The camera hilariously cut to his mom looking disappointed.
Harvey returned to the contestant, saying, “This boy [is] in college.
“He’s enrolled there now. He leaned into the mic and said, ‘Read,’ Steve!”
“Okay. I sure want to see you shut your eyes and do it!” the host added.
Once more, the answer got the giant X and buzzer sound, and fans were left buzzing about it when the game show once more shared it on YouTube.
“Steve looking at the mother in the audience, ‘Yep, this your son,’ just priceless,” one fan wrote.
“I laughed so freaking hard at this today. That was one the worst answers I have ever heard,” wrote another.

PRESIDENT VIAGRA
In 2010, the iconic host immediately roasted contestant Dirk’s wrong answer to an NSFW prompt.
“Name someone a man might not want to know that he uses Viagra,” Steve asked.
“I would say the president of the United States,” Dirk confidently guessed as his family clapped.
The decisive “X” appeared on the screen, and the camera cut to Steve, who looked beside himself.
“That was, by far the suckiest answer I’ve heard since I’ve been the host,” he roasted.
“He’s got two wars, a bad economy, an oil spill. He ain’t worried about you using no Viagra,” Steve continued to roast, referring to then-president Obama.
“In the Oval Office today,” Steve continued to riff. “So many decisions today, oh my God, is Dirk on Viagra?!”
Dirk’s guess that a man wouldn’t want the ‘president’ to know ‘he uses Viagra’ was roasted by Steve to no end
‘STEVE’S REACTIONS MAKE THE SHOW’
Fans recently appreciated how the host handled bad answers with stoic aplomb when Family Feud uploaded the best-of-the-worst into one winning video.
One fan commented: “I gotta admit Steve does a pretty damn good job at hosting this show.”
A third wrote: “Steve has the energy of a teacher who’s sick and tired of students not reading the instructions all the way through.”
And a fourth: “I love that even tho it’s the worst, most stupid answer, the family still claps and says ‘good answer, good answer, it’s up there.'”
“Steve Harvey is the reason Family Feud is still relevant,” wrote a fifth.
STEVE’S WINNING LIFE STORY
Steve is a comedian famed for the Miss Universe competition and a long list of TV shows, including The Steve Harvey Morning Show, The Steve Harvey Talk Show, and Little Big Shots.
He has also appeared in movies, including Racing Stripes, Love Don’t Cost A Thing, and You Got Served.
Steve was born in Welch, West Virginia, on January 17, 1957, to coal miner dad Jesse Harvey and mom Eloise Vera.
But Steve’s early days in showbiz didn’t come easy.
The multi-talented TV personality once shared his struggles on Hoda Kotb’s Making Space podcast.
In an emotional interview, the star explained that in 1985, he won $50 at his first-ever try at stand-up comedy.
“I went to work the next day, quit my job,” he told Hoda. “Told everyone I was a professional comedian.”
“And you just kept at it?” Hoda asked.
“Well, I became homeless,” Steve said flatly. “I was living in a car for three years.”
He added: “I never believed in a plan B. Everybody that I know that has had a plan B has had to use it.
“Because if you have a plan B, you can’t give your all to plan A.”
Steve has since made it in comedy and then some – he’s a household name.
He reportedly makes $10million per year hosting Family Feud, according to International Business Times.
So he’s laughing – or sometimes not laughing – all the way to the bank.
