But it reminded me, the all-time best Family Feud host is Ray Combs.

You're probably too young to remember Ray Combs.

I believe he was the second host of the show.

And he used to play this prank.

It would only happen like once a year, a couple times a year.

The first person to play Fast Money, you know what Fast Money is, Pina?

No.

Okay.

People know what Fast Money is.

You don't, but people do.

You got to get 200 points.

You get two family members combined have to give a series of survey answers and 200 points and you win.

If the first person got 200 points all by him or herself, Ray Combs would be like, all right, congratulations, you won the $10,000.

We're going to bring the second person out here and make up a fake score that you got like 72 points and all the pressure's on you and prank them.

And he would just ad lib absolutely bizarre and impossible questions that would completely flummox the poor person.

And they would be like, oh, this is...

I just choked on national TV and then they would turn around and realize, Oh no, they had won.

The difference is they had won the family.

Few people are trying to trick them into thinking they were losing.

And in the end they win.
