ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST...
Grant is the latest in a long line of hosts to bid farewell to the popular game show
Tony Barber 1977-1979
Who can forget the time Tony accidentally asked a young man on Family
Feud if he had a boyfriend, only to correct himself and ask if he had a girlfriend, to which the contestant replied, “No, I’m gay.” Tony was completely lost for words!
Sandy Scott 1984
Sandy rounded off the show’s original run on Nine before it was axed in 1984. The popular singer, who was a regular on Bandstand, appeared in several stage musicals, had bestselling albums and performed for Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
John Deeks 1996
Family Feud is just one of the shows voiceover artist John has worked on across his 41-year stint on television. The Melbourne presenter was also the announcer of The Price Is Right and Wheel Of Fortune, and voices commercials for retailers like JB Hi-fi.
Daryl Somers 1980-1983
The triple TV Week Gold Logie winner shot to fame on Hey Hey It’s Saturday before going on to host Family Feud in the early ’80s. He wasn’t afraid to be cheeky, either, telling one contestant he had “the best balls in school” when he said “marbles” for an answer.
Rob Brough 1990-1995
Rob – and his famous blond perm and trademark smile – moved from news reporting to host the game show when it was resurrected on Seven. By 1991, it even had its own celebrity edition, including cast members from Home And Away.
Bert Newton 2006-2007
The show was renamed Bert’s Family Feud for its comeback, but it was soon met with controversy when a contestant named a “vibrator” as a “gift you can’t return”, leading Bert to make a number of sex-toy related jokes that didn’t go down too well with the media watchdog.
