MANILA, Philippines — Categories collide with American television host Steve Harvey making a guest appearance on local game show "Family Feud Philippines" hosted by Dingdong Dantes.
Online rumors had been spreading that Harvey, who's hosted the American version of the show since 2010, would be showing up in the local edition.
The official Facebook page of "Family Feud Philippines" then confirmed that Harvey would indeed be taking part in the April 24, 2026 episode this Friday.
"Survey says… it’s STEVE HARVEY on Family Feud Philippines!" the game show said. "Isang iconic Friday ang hatid niya na siguradong hindi niyo makakalimutan!"
Harvey's participation is reminiscent of fellow host Howie Mandel coming to the Philippines nearly two decades ago for an episode of "Deal or No Deal," at the time hosted locally by Kris Aquino.
"Family Feud" has had four different iterations in the Philippines dating back to 2001 when Ogie Alcasid was on hosting duties.
Other hosts include Richard Gomez, Edu Manzano, his son Luis Manzano and Dingdong over two stints — 2009-2010 and since 2022.
Other than "Family Feud," Filipinos will know Harvey best for his numerous times hosting Miss Universe, particularly his gaffe in the 2015 edition where Pia Wurtzbach was the actual winner but the host mistakenly announced the Colombian runner-up Ariadna Gutierrez.
