That's why I always like the Carol Burnett show......the cast would crack up and you couldn't help but laugh along with them. Even a skit that wouldn't have been too funny would have everyone busting up when the case laughed. Especially when the harder they tried not to laugh, the funnier it got.
That's right he wasn't loosing his cool, is that he could not control his laughter but the question should have been thrown out when he gave away the answer to the second contestant before she said it
I was just thinking that while watching this. Regardless of how funny or not funny anything that someone is laughing at is, just watching them have a genuine, uncontrollable belly laugh over it is always hilarious.
I was just a kid when this episode was on TV but I remember it very well and even as young as I was then I still laughed my ass off. Richard was hands down the best host family fued ever had. It was the way he spoke to the families and just the cool nature he had.
Yea I remember it too, I was like 12 or 13 years old. If Im not mistaken, I remember thinking to myself even BEFORE that bonus round..." What is the deal with that family???" I'm sure they're perfectly normal, maybe it was nerves....but by the time she said CooCoo..me and my Mom were in absolute tears busting up. It was that epic.
He was OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY drunk, and was slurring his speech the entire segment. It was well-known that Richard Dawson was a drinker, but this was an extreme example.
@@BiffJackson-o4i Richard Dawson was a British-born American actor, comedian, game-show host, and panelist in the United States. So there you go. But yes, you are correct, he was too creepy with the women.
This is funny no matter how many times you watch it..just so classic and Richard Dawson was hysterical..because he always for the most part kept his cool..
Amidst all of Richard Dawson's laughter which had me laughing, I cracked up when he said at (3:49) "How in the hell did you people get on this show?" Too funny! xD
@@jessebeegee Did I say that? Clearly I find it inappropriate PERIOD. Interesting that you needed that spelled out to you. Hopefully this satisfies your obvious confusion.
I'm 26 and Richard Dawson was hands down my favorite host of Family Feud. I used to watch this on GSN as a kid. He just seemed genuinely nice to people and classy. This is honestly one of the funniest things that happened on the show!
Easily my favorite host of the show too. Those qualities you mention are what made him the perfect choice for the host in the movie The Running Man. It was as if you were watching him in Bizaro World......a disingenuous person who has mastered hiding his true self when in front of the cameras.
Yeah, Steve Harvey is great but Dawson was on another level sometimes. I would agree with some that he was too touchy feely with the female contestants but IIRC there were no allegations of anything wrong going on beyond what we saw...he was just like that.
I am now 56 and remember always watching this classic era !!! Richard Dawson was hysterical !!! ....on MATCH GAME too !! ..............." how did you people get on this show ?! "
travis7310 I agree Richard is the best. Steve has killed the show for me. I litterly hands down can not stand the guy. I can't watch the show any longer. it especially annoys me when he pauses so long to respond. I hope he gets fired soon.
+Momma's Muffins I know, he didn't "lose his cool" he just cracked up. FYI to the person who titled this, losing your cool is losing your temper not laughing at something funny. I have seen almost every classic or retro episode of Family Feud with Richard Dawson and I never saw him lose his temper that's why I was so amazed to see "losing his cool" only to see that it was really that he couldn't control his laugh.
Richard really does lose his cool in some of those Match Game episodes. Those are titled as: Dawson Meltdown haha. He lights some of those ppl up! He only calls out when shit isn't fair and boy does he call it out :)
These are the very best moments on television. When something silly or very funny causes a game show host or contestant to completely "lose it," laughing constantly and unrehearsed.
At least they stop the clock when he cracked up - I've seen contestants lose when Steve Harvey cracks up, I don't think I've ever seen them stop the clock on the new one!
This was from an era where people were not so sensitive and not such wussies as they are today. If a kiss is sexual harassment, good grief then we all are wussies in today's society. Raping someone is one thing, kissing is another. A lame society in which we live. Lawyers, the main ones that created this problem of a pathetic whiny society.
Oh man, poor Dawson. I don't blame him for that laughter, I would've done the same thing! XD And what a good sport, letting the second girl answer without the time limit.
HILARIOUS! I'm trying not to wake up my neighbors at 3:30am.😂😂 The second contestant was funny, too, while she waited for Richard to start the first question. I'm glad he stopped the clock because of his laugh attacks!
I love it after the 2nd woman answers "CooCoo" to a "Noisey Bird" Dawson cracks up and says "How the hell did you people get on this show?" Dawson was the best game show host ever!
That's funny. This guy was the best ever and was always hitting on the ladies too. Such a player. Check out his game shows and you'll agree. I grew up watching him in the 70's. Total Ron Burgandy.
@@magnumpi28 sorry for delay..on here they nvr show and I think they did but not certain. Richard Dawson was the best host ever for this show I think so I remember a lot of episodes
@MenengaiCrater Richard Dawson's original incarnation of the Family Feud was between 1976-1985. So, this awesome funny clip happened somewhere within that time frame, and not in 1964 as you put it. This has got to be the most funniest clip I've ever seen of him with pure non-stop laughing :-) .
How long has television been around, 65-70 years? This is absolutely, positively, definitely the single funniest thing that has ever appeared on a television. Hands down. Bar none. This CANNOT be topped. By anything or anyone. Ever.
How about Password Plus where Tom Kennedy told Dick Martin "You can't give "French" for "France" and on a later missed clue "No, they were going for head."
i think that it was funny for about two minutes,it become embarrassing right after that. i felt bad for her. he needed to lay off the pre-show reefer sticks.
"How the hell did you people get on this show". 😂🤣 LOL Richard must think that Cuckoos are only made for clocks, he didn't realize that they are actual birds. LOL Not sure who is worse, the host or the contestants. lol 😆
I never thought I'd watch feud again after Richard Dawson went off because I loved that guy but then Steve Harvey came along and brought feud back to life. RIP RICHARD DAWSON .....
I just had a lousy day. I'm so glad I watched this! Laughter is contagious! Endorphins that were released washed my blues away. Richard Dawson was the best host ever!😂💞😂💞😂💞I feel so much better...😊
1:26 the way that lady said "I don't know how to take this." Sounded a little like Justine Bateman who played Mallory Keaton on Family Ties. Oh that was hilarious!!!! No wonder they had so much trouble getting through it!!! I would have been laughing and laughing.
I thought I was going to see Richard get angry with a contestant, by what the title of this video says. I'm happy it was the opposite of what I thought. XO I used to watch him all the time hosting this game show. I never saw this episode, and it's hilarious.
classic laughs! Richard was having a few cocktails! He was the best! He could laugh at himself and never a joke about Italians being in the mob, like I have heard Mr.Harvey say more then once!
There is NOTHING funnier than someone who can't stop laughing when they're supposed to be serious.
Especially someone you respect.
That's why I always like the Carol Burnett show......the cast would crack up and you couldn't help but laugh along with them. Even a skit that wouldn't have been too funny would have everyone busting up when the case laughed. Especially when the harder they tried not to laugh, the funnier it got.
There’s lots of funnier things
That is what makes it even harder to stop
He wasn't losing his cool. He was cracking up.
Joeykm1972 is
At first, then he was just selling it
That's right he wasn't loosing his cool, is that he could not control his laughter but the question should have been thrown out when he gave away the answer to the second contestant before she said it
Ditto. He was just laughing his head off. Nothing unusual about that.
Yes!
"How the hell did you people get on this show?" CLASSIC!
" hold the clock!" Richard was great!
Nicky Depaola
Isn't it funny how laughter is contagious...
I was just thinking that while watching this. Regardless of how funny or not funny anything that someone is laughing at is, just watching them have a genuine, uncontrollable belly laugh over it is always hilarious.

😂😂Omg, I am laughing so hard right now
@@loannealford1113😂😂😂😂 Me too! I have tears in my eyes 😅😅

Yes hé was awesome but heck he was drunk and high to the max during every freaking episode lol
You're correct
The audience was laughing.
The host was dieing of laughter.
I fell out of my seat laughing.
Life is good.
Dying is spelled "Dying"
The icing on the cake was when he finally got his composure back and she answered "Cuckoo"
Richard Dawson ALWAYS did a good job of maintaining his composure on air, but I guess this proves everyone can be broken at times
I love it at 3:48 - "How the hell did you people get on this show?!" Classic!
He was OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY drunk, and was slurring his speech the entire segment. It was well-known that Richard Dawson was a drinker, but this was an extreme example.
ExposingZionistEvil but it was funny.
Dissident; Exsposing was the one drunk and slurring his hearing.
ExposingZionistEvil I wouldn't say drunk, he was trully losing it! Laughing that is 😂
May Richard Dawson RIP. Passed away on 6/2/12 at age 79 from esophageal cancer. Never will forget his big break on Hogans Heroes.
👍🏼
so funny to see him lose it over and over again..He's heard so many bad answers..but this one broke him. Thanks for the laugh.
Nah, RD did not lose it, he wanted to kiss the girl again and again, he found out a way to do this!
I love this scene so much! I also love how he made them let her finish answering the questions since they spent so much time cracking up.
Now THAT was funny!! Thanks for posting this!
What a great host Richard Dawson was!
Just when I thought he was finally going to get through it, she says, 'Cuckoo'. This was hilarious.
+cere tomer What's wrong with cuckoo? It is an excellent answer.
***** Thank you. I didn't want to reply to rojovz. If I had to explain it to him, I don't think that he would have understood, anyway.
i lost it! lol
I know I can't stop laughing either
"How did you people get on this show?!"
This show was never the same without Richard Dawson. He wasn't mad. He was laughing so hard.
Too handsy and creepy with the ladies. And the Limey accent was annoying.

If the 2nd contestant had also said September, Richard Dawson would have required hospitalization.
It's February. 😒
Robert Tomko I thought it was April
Jon Stefanik I thought it was November.
I think I would have as well
October
God bless Richard Dawson. His recovery as well as his meltdown during the bonus round didn't hurt the contestants a bit. Great host.
He was a good host but the kissing was kinda pervy. He used to go in for their lips too. I’m like that’s bold with their husband standing right there!

Thanks, for the laughs.
" Hold the clock!"
I remember this, too. The laughter is so infectious. It was hysterical when he signed off, "See you in September!". It was perfect.☺

Yes, and the show is not child friendly like it was for us when we were kids. My family used to watch this together, not anymore, it is trash now.
he comes off as a pervert.
Eric Rivera He was well known for that.
the only thing i don't like about this is "loosing his cool." usually that implies one getting serious in a situation and lashing out against others.
losing. one "o"

Said*

Yeah, but at least Steve doesn't sexually harass them :D
P3TARK Always kissing them. Yeah, that shit was always awkward.

Oh the hell with that...
If someone says "Cuckoo", you've gotta give them the remaining answers, because they ALREADY blew the $5,000! XD
But a cuckoo is a real bird.
"Oh, the hell with that"
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
If the second woman had said October he would have died laughing!
Once she said "September" I about shit my pants LMFAO
So did Richard Dawson aka Our Sir Veisaid! IT'S TROO!!!
Oh man, poor Dawson. I don't blame him for that laughter, I would've done the same thing! XD
And what a good sport, letting the second girl answer without the time limit.

i miss this show, they always had so much fun!
"Good Luck... ohh I told you good luck... I'm fine, here we go, first question coming up..." proceeds to laugh for 2 minutes.
This was so great
Richard Dawson was the best! But I loved how she was like "I'm dying to hear it...do I want to hear it??"😂
Truth be told, I thought this video was going to be about one of the hosts getting upset and angry at a contestant.

this is more raw than Steve Harvey
What do you mean by that Raw than Harvey Mr Harvey right Richard Dawson was a great host of the Fued Family Fued American USA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 ❤️🎉👍🎥
I could imagine Steve Harvey’s reaction to that answer.
I thought for sure the second lady was going to say September also. Would have liked to have seen Richard's reaction!
A different time when people weren't so easily offended.
People were offended by his kissing the contestants. I remember my mom didn't care for it at all.
how do you call that losing your cool!
Robert Hughes: Yea, I dont think "losing his cool" means what he thinks it means.
Actually, that's exactly what it means.
no he lost his composure. Losing your cool means you got angry.
