Family Feud (Ray Combs, CBS & Syndicated, 1988-1994) - Blu-ray Forum

Scoot79 · 06-02-2018, 02:28 PM

Ray Combs (April 3, 1956 - June 2, 1996) hosted Family Feud for a total of six years, from July 4, 1988 to May 27, 1994, on CBS and in syndication. He died 22 years ago today. (Suicide by hanging at the age of 40) Being that Combs' era of Family Feud is one of my most favorite game shows, I'm posting this thread.
