Steve Harvey, the charismatic and quick-witted host of the popular game show ‘Family Feud,’ is no stranger to odd and humorous answers from contestants. However, during a recent episode aired in late August 2025, even Harvey was left utterly baffled by an answer so bizarre that it momentarily left him speechless.
The Question That Sparked the Chaos
The question posed to the contestants was straightforward enough: “Tell me why you think your house is haunted.” Vince, the first contestant to hit the buzzer, answered, “Stuff keeps shutting,” securing the third spot on the board. Following him, Denver provided the number one answer, “Weird sounds.” The family, known as the Stonechecks, decided to continue playing, and the answers kept coming. Shannon said “Ghosts,” an obvious inclusion, while another member, Denver, added, “Stuff is moving around,” both of which were correct.
Then came Tracy’s turn. What followed was a moment that left not just the audience but also Harvey in utter disbelief. Tracy confidently answered, “Kangaroos.” The room fell silent before erupting into laughter. Harvey, visibly puzzled, asked her to repeat the answer, and she did: “Kangaroos.”
Harvey’s Reaction: Confusion and Humor
Steve Harvey, known for his sharp humor and quick comebacks, tried to make sense of the peculiar answer. “I thought it meant something… kangaroos like hop in the walls, hop out of the walls… You were really talking about a kangaroo. Wow,” he said. Tracy, however, admitted that the answer had no reasoning behind it and simply “came out.” Harvey’s astonishment was palpable, and the moment quickly became a highlight of the episode.
Despite Tracy’s bizarre response, the game continued. Unfortunately for the Stonechecks, their subsequent answers, including “Somebody died there,” did not make it onto the board, giving the opposing team, the Creech family, a chance to steal. However, the Creech family also failed to capitalize on the opportunity, and the Stonechecks ultimately won the round.
