Could a mod please add the poll option for greatest Family Feud host ever? I wasn't given the ability to create the poll despite selecting for it

Options would be:

Richard Dawson (1976–85, 1994–95)
Ray Combs (1988–94)
Louie Anderson (1999–2002)
Richard Karn (2002–06)
John O'Hurley (2006–10)
Steve Harvey (2010–present)

I was born in 1985 and only remember from Louie Anderson onward, so I'll have to pick Steve Harvey.

Yeah, I can only remember Louie onward as well.

For me it's very easily Steve Harvey. Yeah, some of his jokes don't hit, and he has the tendency to stick too long on certain bits, but he's by far the funniest and easily brings the most personality to the show.

Definitely Richard Dawson. Followed by Steve Harvey and Ray Combs.

Go watch some Richard Dawson clips of him making out with the contestants. Pretty funny.

I liked Richard Karn.

I think it's generally who you grew up with. For me that was Louie Anderson, but he wasn't good.

I get entertainment from Steve Harvey.

Richard Dawson was the original, and from old episodes I have seen before, he was quite good, so probably him.

I like Steve Harvey the best, but want to give some love to Ray Combs. He was funny, and it's a real tragedy what happened to him and how his last episode turned out.

Have always enjoyed the show, good for a few laughs. Richard Dawson is the answer here. Harvey's done a lot for the show but I find him a bit much on times.

Steve Harvey is the best IMO...although, it seems like the questions are getting raunchier during his tenure. It makes it easier to play off the responses.

I didn't care for O'Hurley or Harvey honestly

I thought Karn did good job but for some reason got undeserved flak from people. Anderson was hit or miss but deserves credit for helping revive the brand

Dawson is the GOAT though

**** Steve Harvey, he's a useless sack of **** and he doesn't deserve to be on TV.

Not to mention he uses the same schtick for literally every single situation.
