In an iconic TV moment, Steve Harvey was left in tears after being surprised by a couple who helped him while he was homeless.

The Family Feud host has seen a bunch of iconic moments happen on his show over the years, but perhaps no more so than this one.

Some ten+ years ago, Harvey broke down in tears after receiving a phone call from a couple who played a very important role in his life.

In a special birthday edition of his show, Harvey was told by some of his producers how there was someone special waiting on the line. Watch his reaction below:

The moment the TV presenter got a glimpse of Rich Liss on the monitor, he broke down into tears.

“This is Rich Liss from Orlando, Florida,” Liss said. “Do you still love me, baby?”

It turned out that Liss was just calling in to wish Harvey a happy birthday, something that came 30 years after he provided more than just his wishes for his 26th birthday.

Liss and his wife Becky helped get the TV presenter back on his feet after he was living in his car for a period of time.

Holding back tears, Harvey said: “I didn’t have nothing. These people took me in.”

“I love you, man,” Harvey added to which Liss, who was also clearly emotional bye the interaction, said: “I love you too, man.”

Harvey then went on to explain the situation involving himself and Liss, saying the latter allowed him to open a bank account in his name at a travel agency.

The now 66-year-old racked up a $11,000 bill that Liss never made him pay back.

“I got money now, Rich,” Harvey emotionally added. “I’m going to fly a plane out to Orlando to pick up you and Becky. I’m going to fly you out to the show. I’ve been looking for you for years, man.

“You guys bailed me out, and I never forgot it.”

This touching moment comes after Harvey defended his wife Marjorie Harvey following affair rumors.

Steve and Marjorie have been married since 2007 and he adopted her three children from a previous relationship: daughters Morgan, 38, and Lori, 26, and son Jason, 32. Steve also has four other children from past relationships.

Family Feud fans stunned after Steve Harvey is censored over rude joke

An edited and ‘censored’ clip of Steve Harvey on Family Feud has left viewers in disbelief

From Harvey accepting ‘dark’ answers to a former contestant on the show ending up getting life in prison for killing his wife, there’s been a fair few gobsmacking moments on the family game show, and this week was no exception. Prepare to feel your eyebrows raise:

In a clip from one of the recent episodes of Family Feud uploaded to the game show’s Instagram page on Monday (13 May), a contestant called Kate stood behind a podium, ready to answer questions from Harvey.

“Name someone you don’t mind disrobing in front of?” Harvey asked her.

The contestant immediately responded without hesitation: “My kids.”

And her answer received applause and many shouts of agreement from the audience.

However, Harvey’s response took quite a different tone.

Harvey responded to the answer: “‘Hey kids how y’all doing? How was school today?'”

And it wasn’t what the host said, but how he mimed getting undressed and posing naked, while saying the line which resulted in when the clip was shared to Instagram, a ‘censored’ sign was jokingly placed over Harvey’s lower body area, all the way down to the floor.

“You got to put your kids in therapy, I’m telling you,” Harvey added.

Nevertheless, the answer was on the board, despite the host saying it was ‘the worst answer’ Kate could’ve given.

And it’s the ‘censored’ sign and Harvey’s final two comments which have seen viewers flood to the post to weigh in with their thoughts.

Some viewers simply couldn’t get over the ‘censored’ label being added into the clip.

One Instagram user said: “The ‘censored’ all the way down to the ankles is crazy.”

“The size of the censored bar,” another added.

Whereas others honed in on Kate’s answer to the question and Harvey’s response.

A third commented: “No let’s be real here, a body isn’t sexual unless you make it sexual. if you’re getting changed and your kid walks in on you, it just normalises the human body, so they won’t grow up thinking bodies are weird or inherently sexual.”

However, a fourth said: “I’m with Steve on this one that answer should not be up there.”

And a final resolved: “Please remember she is just answering for points. It could be her opinion or not.”
