Two of the Actors in that show wound up becoming Governors. Mr. Schwarzenegger and Mr. Ventura (California and Minnesota, respectively.

He was the most absolute best Family Feud host. He had such a wit, and just the expression on his face whenever a contestant would give a stupid answer!!

When I was younger "back in the day", way before there was cable(can you imagine??), I remember seeing Richard on 4 different things throughout the day - Family Feud, of course, Hogan's Heroes, Match Game, and Laugh-In!!
