Steve Harvey Calls Out “Family Feud” Contestant for Making Fun of His Wife’s Driving Skills

Steve Harvey is known for roasting Family Feud contestants for their hilarious but often misguided answers, but in a recent episode, he took a moment to shut down a contestant who crossed the line while trying to be funny—especially when it involved his wife. The incident unfolded when a contestant made a joke at the expense of his wife’s driving skills, right after she gave him an incredible compliment.

The tension began when Harvey asked, “Name a place you are where you hold on tight.” The first contestant, Lance, buzzed in quickly and correctly answered “Roller coaster,” which was the number one response on the board. His family got the chance to continue playing, and it seemed like they were on track to win. However, things took an awkward turn when it was his wife Jeni’s turn to answer.

Jeni, thinking hard, responded with “The bedroom,” which was incorrect. Lance, seemingly unfazed, gave her a celebratory double high-five, and even Harvey joined in with a high-five of his own. But when it came time for Lance to answer again, the situation took a turn that caught Harvey’s attention.

“If you’ve ever been in the car with my wife, Steve, then you know. I’m gonna say the car,” Lance said, attempting to provide his answer.

Harvey immediately responded, laughing at first, but then turning more serious as he remarked, “Right after you gave him the greatest compliment of all time, he turned around and said don’t ride with her.” Harvey’s tone showed his displeasure with the jab at his wife’s driving skills, especially after she had just complimented him.

Unfortunately for Lance, the answer was incorrect, and the other family had the chance to steal the win, which they did by guessing “Subway”—the correct answer. Harvey’s reaction to the incident was clear, and it was obvious that the comment about his wife didn’t sit well with him.

Funny Moments in “Family Feud” History

This wasn’t the first time Family Feud contestants made light of their relationships in hilarious ways. In another episode, Harvey asked, “What’s the first thing you do when you realize your wife is mad at you?” A contestant immediately answered, “Lie,” drawing laughter from the audience and Harvey himself. The contestant quickly admitted he wasn’t married, which only added to the comedy.

Harvey, showing his usual sense of humor, responded, “Boy, let me tell you something. You don’t know how real that answer is.” The crowd went wild, and it was clear that Harvey was speaking from experience, but the answer didn’t make the board.

Fans were quick to comment on these moments when they made their way to YouTube, with one fan writing, “The fact that ‘lie’ isn’t on there shows how many husbands lied about their answer.” Another fan joked, “Youngblood you just stumbled upon an ancient truth,” and one more added, “He’s not married but he already knows 😅.”

Conclusion

Steve Harvey’s quick wit and sharp commentary continue to make Family Feud one of the most entertaining game shows on television. Whether he’s roasting contestants for their answers or defending his wife in a playful yet serious moment, Harvey’s presence always adds a layer of humor and authenticity that fans can’t get enough of. This particular moment with Lance serves as a reminder of how sensitive topics—especially involving family dynamics—can quickly become the source of comedy, but also how important it is to respect boundaries.
