This Week in Game Show History

September 25
Richard Dawson loses it over "September" (1980)

An innocuous episode of Family Feud four years into the show’s original run on ABC culminated in one of the most memorable moments in game show history. The Trejo family returned as champions and earn a come-from-behind victory. During the Fast Money round, when contestant Cathy answered the question “During what month of pregnancy does a woman begin to look pregnant?” with the unexpected “September”, Host Richard Dawson begins to absolutely lose it. He stops the clock during the game while everyone in the studio doubles over with laughter. Eventually, composure regains and Cathy’s half of the round finishes with a solid 92 points. It’s only when the second half of the round starts with Cathy’s sister Angel playing, and Cathy’s terrible answer is re-revealed. Dawson doubles and triples over with laughter, unable to even read the question, before falling to his knees in mania.
