@@thereal9118 MeToo is a bunch of uptight broads with no fun in their lives. Like those Hollyweird phonies ......

Bob Malon Yes!

Bob Malon has

Really.... I guess none of you noticed the biggest sign off of them all? At the end of a beautiful speech he ruined it when he lifted his hand in the form of the devil horns.... Illuminati/Freemason symbol!

Joseph Hardaway , WHAA-HAA-HAA-HAA-HAA......Come On, Man!! Our Parents taught us to look at each other differently because of race, creed, color, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs - just like their parents taught them, and so on and so forth. World Peace? FORGET ABOUT IT !! Humans co-existing together despite their many, many dufferences? NOT A CHANCE, SIR!!

Michael Parris You can speak for yourself. I feel sorry for you. And for all the people who believe that everyone is racist. I was raised to judge people by how they treated others. And majority of people are the same way. But the elite are the ones who need us divided. Cause if we ever unite, we would realize who our enemy is, and stop them. But it is written. So it will be. But it won't stop me from appreciating kind people

You go girl

Joseph Hardaway Amen brother!!! There is only one race, the human race.

Joseph Hardaway you are a rare find.god bless you.

here here

Match Game, as well!

@@fantbelly1361 YOU are an idiot...only God can judge...just because he loved to be affectionate somehow in your sick perverted mind he is a monster...go look in a mirror ok?

Don't forget the running man.

Even Steve Harvey himself gave Dawson props on an episode where this particular lady wanted Steve to kiss her and he mentioned that this should be Dawson and only Dawson's legacy.

They were, I remember it well. What do you think Trump means with "make America great again"? Well he's talking about things like this where people were more thoughtful and when America was leading the world in technology and innovation. That pioneering spirit, back when things used to say "made in America" and not China. Sadly the media mocks him and turns it into something that the message isn't. The young people of today never knew that America, that world. If they had, they'd want it back. Instead of being the best, todays youth seem to want America to be at the bottom and to fail. They have no patriotism. The people of the past had all these things. Richard Dawson loved America so much he left this country of England and earned his citizenship and became American. He even adopted an American accent as evidenced by this video clip.

clemsonbloke I'm sure he still loved England this is nonsense. England is beautiful, all the old country's are! My family tree is from Poland, Ireland and Germany, and i love Europe as much as America. I've been to Germany six times and Palma twice, have you been to Europe? Richard was a great man always loved him. He left us too soon as did Johnny Carson, the king of Monologue!

@@m42037 Where did I say that he no longer liked England? My point was that he was someone who knew how to assimilate in his new chosen land. I never said he didn't like England. Reading comprehension is not your strongest point sir.

clemsonbloke You insinuated he loved America more than England, like many that say they left Europe to make a better life. When my family left Poland there was a reason, Hitler. My comprehension is fine. So have you been to Europe? Probably not. Don't forget to salute a flag on the way to work today when you go by the Post office lol

@@m42037 no he didnt

thedavecorp that's democracy at it's finest.one love one world.all of us.

@@garyconner6151 has nothing to do with democracy. Has everything to do with being a human being.

Yea but it wasn't... People need to move on from the past

@@chef423 wassup Debbie Downer

@@Soc1alBK the truth

taratupa73 it did! whoever that fat guy they had completely ruined it.

it did

Really dude? That's awful. Get a life.

taratupa73 no they have Steve Harvey now.

Krista Brewer can't stand Harvey or Family Fued with Harvey.

Crissrudd4554 you just made my day .Just goes to show what a great human being R.D.was.Thank you for that Kool story .respect our elders!!

The youth of today would scream and cry that they had been cheated and want to sue. The current generation is a disgrace and don't deserve the great country they were born into.

Richard must have been quite a nice guy. RIP Richard.

oh, tv still has class. however, unfortunately, it's all low.

stew kupperman you said that right.

@Kitten Lyric the trash TV networks are about hate and so are you

Every last one of you that is acting like an argumentative and elitist twat would do humanity a huge favor by jumping into an active volcano. You all talk about a lack of fucking class, take a long fucking look in the mirror, each and every last one of you.

Amen

Was she asking you to turn TO or AWAY FROM the show?

Lance Baker​ lol she didn't mind,but back then you couldn't even say ass or shit on TV...

My grandma said the very same thing about Dawson, but yet she always watched the show. :)

Your grandma seemed like a nice lady...RIP to her and to Richard Dawson...GOD BLESS TO ALL WHO WATCH THE FAMILY FUED...LOVE THAT SHOW.

@Frank Dawson was the pervert.

very much the antithesis to what Hollywood is now

@@fantbelly1361 Shred of Proof offered? Or just trolling?

they're unwatchable

When the hell was Drew Carey ever the host ? You thinking Louis Anderson

Of the six "Family Feud" hosts-MY personal favorite was John O'Hurley (2006-2010).

Class Act.

Come on Richard Dawson was awesome but Steve Harvey is pretty dam close if not right there next to Dawson

Tobias Walker I cried full on. :)

He was tearing up also

Thank you for stating the obvious , there are some folks out here in comment land that didn't get that at all.

You're welcome. I knew a woman who thought the sign was a cuss word!

Too Sweet!!

It was for a little deaf girl at home who danced to the shows theme song and her mom wrote in saying she watched all the time and if he could sign for that deaf girl "I love you".

is that your claim to fame? I knew Gary Dawson? Funny, I don't see one thing about him or where anyone cared.

He was a very funny and cool guy, just like his Father, the school University High in West LA where we went had a school in a school called IPS Innovative Programming Studies, it turns out it was ran by early scientologists and several of the Germs band were in my class . My Uncle was an actor from the 60's to late 80's and in many movies , commercials and tv shows.

Yes, we all miss him and this show. Very good tribute ...

I was 7 when this aired back in june 1985

Damn Son...ya make me feel old. I was on my second wife when this aired and had served in the Army four years! Hmm, I guess I may BE old

PoppaBlue59 Kent We all are, my friend, we all are.

you cried over a game show? hahaha......

That speech. Wow. Beautiful. The kissing thing bothered my parents. Me too, for another reason. I was worried about him getting herpes, which was the famous pre-AIDS disease of the time, not smooching black chicks. But then again, this white boy had a crush on Roxie Roker from The Jeffersons back then.

And this white boy had a crush on Janet Dubois who played Wilona on Good Tines.

BomberMonkAssassin35 Probably never imagined that Ray Combs would hang himself.

I remember Richard's "comeback" in 1994. It was sad to see a much-heavier, barely audible Richard Dawson trying to go home again but the producers thought it would be a great idea and talked him into it.

BomberMonkAssassin35 A

ohsnapiam59 A shame everyone ELSE cant do the same... the world would be a better place then....of course there is no money in that so there goes THAT idea.

Were you on wwtbam?

iamjefferson17 sounds like you need some mental help, just a thought.

He was a pervert.

The kissing was just accepted back then. But even back then I found it kind of creepy...... It's just way too personal. He's from Europe and perhaps that's a reason for all of the kissing.

@Frank @Frank why would he be groping fondling ejaculating TODAY? If anything he would have evolved the opposite direction.

@Frank he made his living by anticipating trends and popular thinking. He was quick sharp and good at it and he would have known when to modify his behavior in time. Unfortunately. That said he still would have known how to keep it hilarious.

Combs committed suicide in 1996. Dawson took over for him in 1994.

+Snead Hearn Buzzr??

I know he is in Glory.

Ryan Zwolinski Ah! Gene Wood! He and Johnny Olson are my all-time fave game show announcers.

Wtf are you talking about, no he wasn't.

I don't think he was. That's one of those urban legends IMO...

sowhazupguy Look up "Creepy game show host" and watch the plethora of videos of him trying to force kids into kissing him.

MrPolymers Read previous comment.

+SniperSpree58 that was a different guy on a different show.

ChihuahuaboyDH Richard Dawson's final "Family Feud" episode aired on ABC on June 14th, 1985 (30 years ago). If this speech doesn't leave a lump in your throat or a tear in your eye, you have no heart nor soul. The "who makes a rainbow" bit was beautiful. We love you, Richard! R.I.P..

+ChihuahuaboyDH i'm a writer, and i will use that one day in one of my stories, just to pass on the sentiment. i agree...it was lovely.

+ChihuahuaboyDH : I agree 100% with you. You don' hear a host of a show sign off like this. How Richard remained composed throughout this speech, I don't know. What a wonderful tribute to all those who touched his life.

It's just hard to believe that it's been five years since Richard Dawson passed away. We all miss him! RIP

On the same date as Ray Combs....June 2nd. With a 16-year separation.

WOAHHH I KNOW OF HOGAN'S HEROES AND NEVER NOTICED HE WAS IN IT. COOOOOOOOOL!

Yep - when he still spoke with an English accent...you couldn't miss him

He is in hogans heros

Sorry, there's no god.

Yes there is. Sorry you can't feel him.

+materialgirl8707 Same!!! Buzzr is my new favorite TV channel!!!! 29-4 WTXF TV!

he was also good on the match game, i back in the day used to watch that show every day when i would come home from school. i love that game show it was one of my favorite.

Lovely...
