The premise

Here’s the bit.

On a Thanksgiving edition of Family Feud, Steve Harvey pits his own family, all of them on his payroll as booker, suit designer, joke writer and mustache-product mogul, against the Didricksons, the family of his friend of thirty years, Carol. Steve is struck by Carol's younger son Cecil, who shares his mustache, sharp suits and swagger. As the round goes on, talk of Cecil's early growth and his birth before Carol's marriage leads Steve to realize he may be the boy's father, and he melts down at the podium while the Didricksons try to calm him. Steve then warms to his new son, the Didricksons take the win, and his wife Janelle makes clear the matter is far from settled.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Now, some folks like white meat, some folks like dark meat, but let me tell you a little secret, everybody like dark meat.

I thought I was out. I thought I was all the way out.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The announcer is voiced by Steve Higgins. SNL Archives counts this as the ninth of the show's Family Feud sketches and as Kenan Thompson's sixteenth appearance as Steve Harvey.
