who's the best host?


I only remember two of the many hosts of this show. Louie Anderson and Richard Karn. Out of the two, I like Richard Karn better.

reply

I will agree, Karn is better than Anderson. It's hard for me to pick which host is the best among the four regulars (Dawson, Combs, Anderson, Karn), since they each had so many pros and cons.

And just so everyone knows, it's Survey SAID.

I grew up watching Ray Combs. I liked the show when I was younger. For the longest time I thought Combs was the best host. I never saw Anderson, but that idea just scares me. I've only seen one episode with Karn. It's decent, but meh. About a week ago I watched funniest gameshow moments or something like that. Most of the funnier bits were from Family Feud and Match Game. Last Thursday I turned on the Game Show Network to watch Match Game 73, Match Game 77, and Family Feud. Richard Dawson is amazing. I couldn't even watch the Ray Combs version that was on immediately after it. For me to think Dawson's an amazing host from just one viewing (well, 3 now) says something. He's definitely the best host.

I'll rank them in order of preference:

1. Richard Dawson
2. Richard Karn
3. Ray Combes
4. Louie Anderson

I totally agree with this list of hosts. I never watched Louie Anderson, since I found him offensive.

reply

I agree with Emanuelj8's list. I really hate Louie Anderson, he ruined the show. Richard Karn's good. I love Ray Combs and Richard Dawson equally, they were both awesome hosts, and I think they would be a tie for number one on my list. I don't even think Louie Anderson should even make this list.

reply

Gee I like Dawson and Combs. Karn was good, but Anderson really ruined it for me. I thought it was funny that the last couple of seasons with him were moved especially where I'm living to early in the morning, I guess so no one could listen to him lol.
Here's my list:
1. Richard Dawson and Ray Combs
3. Richard Karn
4. Louie Anderson..ugh

Richard Dawson is the BEST!!!

FROM BEST TO WORST
Richard Dawson: PUT HIS IDEAS AND IMAGINATION TO GIVE ITS CHARACTERISTIC TASTE TO THE SHOW
Ray Combs: FUNNY MAN, HOW SAD WHEN I HEARD HE HAD KILLED HIMSELF
Louie Anderson DIDN'T SEE ANY EPISODE WITH THIS MAN, I HEARD HE DIDN'T LAST MUCH TIME HOSTING FAMILY FEUD, IS IT TRUE?
Richard Karn: I THINK IS THE WORSE HOST THAT THIS SHOW HAS HAD, THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THE MUSIC, BUT I DON'T LIKE THAT HOST, HE BETTER GO AND SELL HIS TOOLS ON TV-COMMERCIALS
BYE

reply

I agree with your list because Ray Colmes went down a level on my list when he committed suicide, but he was still better than Louie Anderson, who is still alive.

I just wouldn't resort to insulting Anderson's weight because there is plenty to criticize him on without taking cheap shots.

1. Dawson
2. Karn
3. O'Hurley
4. Combs
5. Anderson

Richard Dawson Was The Best Host On Family Feud!

reply

which one was the one who "made out" with all the female contestants?

reply

Richard Dawson, i believe..he kissed all the ladies.

reply

Richard Dawson kissing ALMOST ALL of the female contestants was flat out wrong and offensive. Also it was non-hygienic.

Other than that, he performed well.

reply

Richard Dawson is amazing. The Family Feud episodes that he hosts make me laugh more than any other show on TV, other than perhaps Seinfeld. It's so funny to watch him try to not laugh after a contestant gives a really stupid answer, but then he can't take it anymore and sometimes he rolls arond on the floor.

He is a real genious.

Richard Karn. JOHN O'HURLEY SUCKS!!

The best host of all is Richard Dawson,I don't have a problem with Ray Combs,I used to watch his version back in the early 1990's when it was on CBS along with Richard Dawson return in 1994.


Here is the order

Richard Dawson
Ray Combs
John O'hurley
Richard Karn
Louie Anderson

I don't hate Louie Anderson but I don't think he should of been a host.Richard Karn was always loud.John O'hurley reminded me of Richard Dawson in 1994-1995.But he will never be Dawson.

reply

Richard Dawson!!

He's the only reason I watched the show really.

reply

Four out of five of them were great! And you could probably guess which one I mean. *Coughs* Louie Anderson *Coughs*.

reply

Here's how I rank them.
1. Ray Combs
2. John O'Hurley
3. Richard Dawson
4. Richard Karn
5. Louie Anderson

Richard Dawson is awesome. It's just sometimes I get bored watching him. I don't know why. Ray Combs was funny! I hate the fact that he went and killed himself. Louie Anderson was HORRIBLE! He like mumbled all the time! Richard Karn, he's ok, he really didn't interest me in any way though and John O'Hurley I like him. He's funny! I actually like watching him on Family Feud.

Richard Dawson is by far the best but,yes he could get a little boring,Mostly on Feud around 1983-1985,he would walk so slow and take to long with the contestants,I think if the show was a little faster like it was during it early years I think Feud with Dawson could of lasted a few more years.

Ray Combs is also a very good host, John O'Hurley is a ok host but his Set is ugly!

reply

I like Richard Karn the best. Richard Dawson's kissing got on my nerves after awhile; I didn't like the celebrity guests on the Ray Combs' show -- and Louie Anderson was a waste of time. He wasn't very professional at all.

Louie's fumbling of fast money questions cost many families a chance at winning the big bucks. The director should have either given Louie the list of questions to practice beforehand or given the contestants more time to answer. I remember Louie repeating one question three times until he got it right. As a result, the contestant only had enought time to answer two of the five questions. Louie seemed very uncomfortable as host.

As for John O'Hurley (sorry about the spelling if it's incorrect), I'm not sure about him yet.

reply

Ive only witnessed Dawson Karn and O'Hurley
rankings?
1. dawson - a kind and gentle man displaying acts of common decency (and then some? so?) to women

2. o'hurley- he cool but the main reason is

3. karn - i just plain dont like the cut of his gib. and hes ugly.

reply

RICHARD DAWSON WAS THE BEST.LOUIE ANDERSON WAS THE WORST.I ACTUALLY THOUGHT RICHARD KARN WASN'T THAT BAD.I ACTUALLY THINK JOHN O'HURLEY IS PRETTY GOOD TOO,AND RAY COMBS WAS OKAY.I KNOW THEY HAD A LIST OF CANDIDATES FOR THE NEW HOST,AND I KNOW DONNIE OSMOND WAS ON THAT LIST TOO.
