Celebrity Family Feud, which is created by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, is a spin-off of the American game show Family Feud.
Similarly to the primetime All-Star Specials featured during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the episodes feature teams of celebrities playing for charity rather than normal contestants.
The first incarnation of the spin-off was broadcast in 2008 by NBC as part of a block of summer reality series it branded as All-American Summer
Instead of featuring the host of the syndicated version at the time, John O'Hurley (who was hosting Secret Talents of the Stars for another network that summer), the NBC celebrity version was hosted by Al Roker of the Today Show.
Five-player teams composed of a celebrity captain and four friends and/or relatives competed against each other with a $50,000 top prize to be donated to the charity of the winning team's choice.
On April 9, 2015, ABC announced that it would air six new episodes of Celebrity Family Feud over the summer, which premiered on June 21, 2015.
The 2015 version is hosted by Steve Harvey, the current host of the syndicated version of Family Feud.
It marked the first time that any version of Family Feud aired on ABC since the end of the original version hosted by Richard Dawson in June 1985.
Unlike the current syndicated version of Feud, taped at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, this version is produced at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and features the return of Burton Richardson, who announced the show from 1999 to 2010, to the series.
On August 4, 2016, ABC renewed Celebrity Family Feud for a fourth season.
Format
During the NBC run of Celebrity Family Feud, each episode featured a tournament format with three games.
The winners of the two semi-final games played a final game, with the winner advancing to Fast Money.
Due to time constraints, the format was slightly modified from the 2003 format used by the syndicated version, in that the double value round is eliminated, with each match containing two single rounds and a triple round, although the game still played first to 300 points or sudden death.
In Fast Money, if one or both team members accrued at least 200 points, the group won $50,000 for their charity. If the playing members scored below 200 points, $25,000 was awarded to the group's charity.
The ABC version does not use a tournament format and follows the same format as the syndicated version.
Two self-contained games are played per-episode, each concluding with Fast Money played for $25,000 for the team's chosen charity.
If the playing members do not reach 200 points, $10,000 is awarded to the group's charity.
Families who lose the main game and do not play Fast Money receive $5,000 for their charity.
