Is it me or does Ray Combs seem like he is genuine in his actions and interactions with the two contestants? He really seems like he wants them to win the money.
You can tell he did. With the second contestant and the confusion over the material to be dry cleaned Ray says material second time at the end of the question to emphasize what they're looking for. If he didn't care he wouldn't have done that.
Yeah, really underrated. Only guy better than Combs since Dawson would be the big man himself: Louis Anderson! Wait, wait...says here it’s Steve Harvey!
That was some great hosting. He flubbed a bit reading the questions but his energy was perfect. He had that family and the audience pumped the eff up. It was 25 years ago or so; I already KNEW the outcome but I still had goosebumps when he yelled "WHAT'D THE SURVEY SAY??"
studywar Not only is that amount taxed, but it is also presumably split into five ways. Assuming the amount is evenly divided between them, each person would receive less than $2 000 dollars, which is hardly anything.
@@Supermario0727 Shit, who cares?!? You're on a fucking game show and you just made an insane comeback to win the son of a bitch. i'd be celebrating my ass off too.
Not only that, but people used to win the grand prize all by themselves. Nowadays it seems even if you put all five people on fast money they still won't win it
A very very sad, strange, tragic and bizarre end to Ray Combs life. Committed suicide by hanging himself on 6/2/1996 at age 40. Poor guy was quietly battling depression. Who ever thought behind that great smile and great looks was a very troubled man. May he R.I.P.
zhbvenkhoReload yup leaving his wife and kids with a mountain of debt. He had 2 comedy clubs that flopped, bad business dealings, house was in foreclosure, and his wife was planning to divorce him. Guess that's what led to his suicide.
Wow what a comeback that the second contestant got 178 points even though he missed the first one the last four answers got his family the money well done sir
I was actually happy that he won 10,000 dollars. not much now, but back then it was quite a bit. He was so happy, and his happiness made me happy. I hope he lived a long happy life.
Everyone complaining "oh, it's only 10k" - understand in the late 80s money went A LOT FURTHER. Sure, 10k is maybe ~22k in today's dollars, but back then overall cost of living was LESS. Winning 10k - even after taxes - could be a lot more impactful to a family than it is now.
This has to be the greatest comeback of all time on the Family Feud, if you see one better than this share it with me. Ray Combs is my favorite host all time of Family Feud, and this might be unpopular but I was one of the few who enjoyed the Bullseye years
If you listen to the last 20 seconds of the video or so, blindfolded, and not knowing the context, it literally sounds like people or animals being tortured.
What if, after Ray told him his final two answers were top answers, but those top answers only brought him up to 199? That would've been the disappointment of the century! 😆😄😂😄😂😄😆
The life of Ray Combs, the host shown in the video, was tragic. He was never the same after a car accident in July, 1994. He ended his life nearly two years later in a hospital during a psychiatric observation hold.
Legend has it that Spielberg used the celebration noise as inspiration for the velociraptors in Jurassic Park.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I always thought it was sampled from "Tremors".
Lol it sounds exactly like it!!!
Lol especially when the raptors were feasting on something 😂
😂🤣😃😄😅 Thanks for the belly laugh!
3:27 sounds like a horde of Velociraptors devouring a cow lmao
Ha
Yes it does lol!
lmfao
a $10000 cow.
i cried after reading this, thank you
Legend says….they are still jumping around screaming “YES! YAY! YEAH! YES!”
LOL
I looked for this video just now to hear the ravenous raptors again.
Is it me or does Ray Combs seem like he is genuine in his actions and interactions with the two contestants? He really seems like he wants them to win the money.
R.I.P. Ray
He was a decent man a good host. 👍
so does Steve Harvey
You can tell he did. With the second contestant and the confusion over the material to be dry cleaned Ray says material second time at the end of the question to emphasize what they're looking for. If he didn't care he wouldn't have done that.
He is the 2nd greatest FF host,behind the great Richard Dawson.RIP.
RIP Ray Combs. Loved watching the show as a kid with him as host. A very sad ending to his life, but I'll always remember Family Feud.
Over 160 points in 4 answers. Proof you should never give up in the Final Feud.
+TheDisarminghinkle Fast Money*
+TheDisarminghinkle This guy got 175 points with one person lmfao
+StephgamingHQ The Steve Harvey version has had someone get 196 alone.
+matrixphijr 190....same thing...
Man......imagine if the dad wasn't such a blockhead. They may have gotten 300.
That was a come back of the century for sure in Family Feud history. Things are possible. R.I.P. to host Ray Combs.
If he were still alive, he would've been Bob Barker's replacement on The Price is Right.
Ray Combs was a worthy successor to Dawson, God rest his soul.
Yeah, really underrated. Only guy better than Combs since Dawson would be the big man himself: Louis Anderson!
Wait, wait...says here it’s Steve Harvey!
@@jackdaone6469 I don't know why your comment made me laugh.
Curse of the feud
Such a sad story. The man commits suicide because he can't earn enough money.
A very very sad, strange, tragic and bizarre end to Ray Combs life. Committed suicide on 6/2/1996 at age 40. So sad and so young. May he RIP.
Back when 10,000 was a lot of money.
Now, after its split 5 ways and taxed it's like "yall wanna go out for steak and get drunk?"
i aint mad at 1500 dollars.
$10,000 will only my student loan interest rate alone
I would like to go out for steak and get drunk.
I'd like to get hammered.
Taxes aren’t that high, and steak doesn’t cost that much
Was it just me, or when they won the 10k did anyone hear a pig squealing?
+Krow's Graveyard Well, they did have Deliverance from their money woes.....
I think the show was using a "piggy bank" sound effect at the time. So, they won the bank, they got a pig noise.
+Ninetails2000 You got a pretty mouth boy
yes
LMAO..

This host had super calm and soothing voice. Love to hear him talks.
You need 38 points to win the $10,000! What'd the survey say?!
*bing! 37*
rot in hell survey
I'd be so pissed oh god hahaha

"You know, one time we were on Family Feud."
"I know grampa, we all know."
Yep
Ray Combs at the end; “protect yourself!”😂🤣
Don’t go away!
Miss ray combs. My favorite family feud host!!
Mine too.
The first guys answers were pretty good im actually suprised how little points he got
10,000 dollars he deserves at least 9,500 of it!!!
Oh most definitely!
Well none of them would be there if it weren't for pop's.
For answering four easy questions?!
3:13 I love how he starts getting into with them. He really wants them to win the money. That’s a good host.
Alot of people don't realize 10k back then was equivalent to at least 30k-35k in today's time. Oh how the times have changed.
No it would be atleast 40k
Actually if this was the host's first season(88) it is $22k (inflation calculator)
It's more than that. This was the 1970s, right? Gold was like 35 dollars an ounce then!
Dude seriously spoiled it by telling him he had the number one answers
He didn't spoil it. He created drama. Richard Dawson used to do it all the time.
+smoothpants Well, he's been hosting wrong.
still better than Steve Harvey's version!!
"dump ass"
it's just a vid, also, they didn't get all the #1 answers
20 seconds, we put a man on the moon, you've got the same shot!
....well.
Woke
And they did!
John McDevitt
Nope.
And yet only two people from the family ended up actually going to the moon.
No ones gone to the moon
That was an amazing comeback,especially with 1 of his 5 answers only adding 2 points!
Honestly, i love to see this level of excitement when people win. Ive seen people win more and react like they lost a puppy.
"We put a man on the moon, you got the same shot." RIP Ray Combs.
I read the pig squealing comments and didn't believe it until I heard it with my own ears LOL
Wazwaz Brothers Same here... I suffered thru the video just to get “screams” at the end. Lots of times comments are better than the videos!!!
Lmfao
Your. Dum.
@@stevecolombo420 It was hard on the ears.
LMFAO!!
Imagine if Chris Webber was playing and was asked the time-out question...
They do that sometimes. Like when Steve Harvey said to Rob Gronkowski: "Name something that can be deflated."
That's the funniest GD post I've seen in a while....
Dude scored 166 points in four answers.
Don't be fooled, $10,000 at the time this show was filmed could have bought you a lot more than the $20,000 they give you today.
studywar Not only is that amount taxed, but it is also presumably split into five ways. Assuming the amount is evenly divided between them, each person would receive less than $2 000 dollars, which is hardly anything.
@Wile E Coyote this was the 80's. Richard Dawson hosted in the 70's, this was ray combs so 80's-early 90's. The show wasn't around in the 60's

the government do take a bite.
They should have given that family an extra $5000 for the comeback.
At 3:03 "OH!" - That was pure gold!
Ray Combs was a great successor to Dawson, he kept the show going. RIP Ray Combs.
RIP Ray Combs, he was an underrated host.
But he was a great coat hanger!
I think he actually is the best host of Family Feud in my opinion.

For sure, thats a LOT of flying elbows out there!

found an inflation calculator... wasn't sure the exact date since he hosted from 88-94... but it was anywhere from 16-19k if adjusted
my favorite Family Feud host of All Time, Ray Combs. RIP
Cowboy hat dude deserves $5
This is the most underrated comment on RUclips

Someone squealing like a pig! Squeal for me, boi! WEEEE! WEEEEE!

The sound is a bit distorted.

@2:36 the hair cut of the century.

I didn't know Dr. Phil had so many twin brothers.
I just loved watching the intensity of the 2nd guy. Even as he bombed the 1st and 2nd answers he had the hunger in him. lmao

they deserve 100,000 for that comeback.
80’s...come back for a visit.
Never saw a family so happy on Family Feud. Good
I bet these five have lived some wild nights.
All business up front, party in the back.
The energy of the century!
Why do I find the last "WHAT DID THE SURVEY SAY" so damn powerful like he wanted it more.
Would've loved to watch a football game wit these guys lol
I was kind of afraid the second guy was going to hit the host in the face.
me too
I hope mommy packed him a change of underwear because I’m sure he had an accident
Old school game shows man I miss those clean no abusive language shows
And no Steve Harvey hosting.
Long live the memory of Ray Combs.

I think that if he didn't, they would have ripped him apart in all excitement!

When you see how happy they are you almost think they won 10 million dollars.
Part two shows their reactions after the IRS finished bending them over.
Frickin’ Jim. BE LIKE JIM.
The celebration noises: Shades of Howard Dean
All these years and the family feud cash total only doubled to $20,000?? C'mon man, prize should at least be $100,000 based on today's dollars
$50,000 is fair.
What a great host. Shame he's not on tv anymore.
