Other than Bob Barker, Richard Dawson was also THE best game show host of them all!!! I remember watching both Richard Dawson & Bob Barker both doing their thing every weekday afternoon when I arrived home from school in 1973 and 1974. This was when Bob was hosting "The Price is Right" @ 2:30 pm & when Richard was a panelist on Gene Rayburn's "Match Game" @ 3 pm (CT). Richard Dawson (& Gene Rayburn) was a class act & he's still missed. R.I.P., Richard Dawson & Gene Rayburn. R.I.P. to Gene Wood, too.
Amazing how the show devolved under Steve Harvey...the guy who has to let you know every show that he is a Christian and then spends the whole show in a sewer of vulgarity.
Richard Dawson showed what a man should be. Caring, not afraid to cry, not afraid to show emotion. To reach out and help. RIP Richard and little Nicole.
That was so touching. He was such a great man. He wasn't a womanizer, he wasn't a drinker, never drank. He loved all people from all backgrounds all races as he was brought up. I love when he told that story. And meeting his wife on family feud. Intelligent funny loving.
How sad - and how wonderful. Such a tragic loss. And such a meaningful message from Richard Dawson in response. The world would be a Shangri la if only we would all behave as he suggests.
What a speech! We should all have a little bit of empathy,like Richard said,it.will touch someone,and make their day. What a guy! Lucky to have known such a wonderful human being! ❤️You and miss you 🇨🇦
WOW! Talk about a message that people really need in our time. We can do more then fight. We can do little things for each other and those things are ten times more powerful then any hate.
Try to leave the world a *little* better at the end of every day, than you found it at the beginning. That's all any of us can do, and we need to do it every day. Now more than ever.
I'm old enough to remember Richard when Hogan's Heroes was on the air. He was always an inspiring character. A great man indeed. Rest in peace my friend.
I had just watched an interview with Richard where he explained why he ended his show with a hand sign meaning, "I love you," and I noticed he did it as the very last thing in this clip.
Thank you so much for posting Richard Dawson's unaired speech. This great "Feud" host will never be gone, just as long as I take this simple and poignant message to work with me and practice it anywhere I go, to treat people with civility and respect with the hope that they can reciprocate it. Mr. Dawson would have made a great inspirational/motivational speaker! RIP
Richard Dawson was an Extremely Compassionate, Caring and Loving Man, I just know He was, I don't even know Him but from the Family Feud, No wonder He fell in Love with Gretchen at First sight. She was very Blessed to Have a Husband like the kissing Bandit. Rest in Eternal Peace Kissing Bandit.
He is and always will be a class act may he rest in heaven and I pray one day I get to see him again with that smile on his face. Listen to what he said we can all share love to each other.
I always loved Richard Dawson, even tho he loved to joke around & cut up, I could also see what a sweet loving man he was. He was a special man & is missed by Family, Friends & his many Fans. ♥️
I am crying watching this. So moving. Just goes to show what a heart Richard had and what a Godly thing to share with the audience. Sweet Nicole and Richard, rest with the angels.
He really had a heart a good heart a soft warm genuine heart he cared was compassion and love he was unforgettable and I'm sure his kisses were warm and soft. Even then Richard would giving anything to anyone like he did that little girl with lollipops at any day or anytime because he was human and all he wanted was everyone else to be generous with their time as well and their hearts. We miss you Richard
Wow and his daughter's name has Nicole in it... This is probably why... From his match game days u would never think he was this type of man... True greatness in every sense of the word..... The world lost a great man... The heavens gained a true angel
Priceless. Thanks for posting this portion of his speech at the finale. I just wish they had aired it in it's entirety. Thanks Richard for making this world a better place with your love and compassion. Little Nicole was an amazing girl and her reaching out to Richard as she did with the result of his signature sign off...thats pretty hard to top. Rest in peace Richard and Nicole.
😭 Loved him. Grew up watching him first on Hogan’s Heroes and later Family Feud. Blessings to his family & loved ones. May all who heard his last words here, do at least one good deed in his memory. 🙏🏼✌🏼
Richard Dawson was a real good man Hogan's Heroes all the way until he said farewell on Family Feud there is no other Richard Dawson he was on The Love Boat I remember he's on a lot of different stuff I agree with and 100% God bless you in Jesus name amen R.I.P. Richard Dawson
He was clearly a good person with a heart of gold. Too bad they did not air his message. If everyone tried to do a little good the world would be a beautiful place
Wonder if he named his daughter Shannon Nicole after the little Nicole Kelly..what a class act and so happy he had many years together with Gretchen, their love was magical!!
Always enjoyed Richard on Match Game and Famoly Feud. He really cared about people and wanted contestants to win. A much more caring world at that time..miss that
Everyone busted Richard For kissing all the females...he was a kind person who made people feel.happy.. will miss u Richard you were the family fued.. god bless
In 1990, Richard and Gretchen Dawson's daughter Shannon Nicole was born. Nice to see he named his youngest child in memory of Family Feud's greatest fan.

So sad he's gone. He was a gem. His daughter may have been named for that girl. Shannon Nichol is his daughter's name.
