Talk show host Steve Harvey is gracing Mzansi with his presence
And he has some exciting news - he is bringing popular game show Family Feud to SA!
The announcement was made on Monday where Steve - alongside our very own Lerato Kganyago - revealed that the show - which pits two families against each other in a series of fun-filled activities - would begin filming later this year and reach our screens early 2020
“Bringing Family Feud to Africa has long been a dream of mine," Steve told Deadline of his vision.
“I believe Family Feud will become a household name for local South African families. And this is just the beginning in Africa.
And Steve – who will also be spearheading the Ghanaian version as well - has big plans for the show.
He said during the press briefing in Gauteng; “Eventually my goal is to have South Africa play against Ghana, Joburg against Durban... My goal is to have it that way. And to have it so massive, almost like a soccer game.”
Steve also explained how the game show would work, given the 11 official languages of our country
He said; “Here’s the rule that has to happen. You have to have at least one or two family members that speak English. The other three don’t have to. That’s even more comedy for me because if I have to refer back to your captain every time I come to you for an answer and you give me an answer I don’t understand, that’s instant comedy for me. It’s great entertainment. We don’t have a problem with the diversity part of it at all.
"Families will be selected just as we do with regular Family Feud. The only requirement to get on to Family Feud is your family has to be exciting. It has nothing to do with anything else. It is just that. This isn’t Jeopardy, you ain't gotta know nothing.
Family Feud is an award-winning and long-running TV show which has even seen the likes of the Kardashians, the Jacksons and even Snoop & his family participate!
We can't wait to watch!
