According to the show's official IMDb page, Steve Harvey has been the host of Family Feud since September 2010. By 2025, he will have been the host of the show for 14 years, making him the longest-serving host in the show's history.

Family Feud has had many hosts since the show premiered in 1976, but none for so long as Harvey.

On the show, Harvey reads the survey questions and listens to the contestants' responses before continuing the game.

He is known for his facial expressions and for his pauses after he has heard an odd or funny response.

In one interview, he stated he is surprised every time he steps foot on stage. He also stated that can never write what contestants say - people just say whatever comes to their mind.

The family game show premise - two families competing for cash - has not changed. But, Harvey's way of responding and hosting has changed the show enough to provide an adjustment to the familiar.

Many contestants have said that they mostly wanted to meet Harvey, and many fans comment that they often view the show just to see Harvey's responses.

Due to Harvey's presence since 2010, the show has been able to maintain good ratings and advance its production of new episodes and run re-runs in 2025.

“A new season of laughs and good answers on #CelebrityFamilyFeud is coming in ONE MONTH! Join me as your host. This is something I look forward to every summer.”
