I am going to come proper out and admit it: Superstar Household Feud is among the greatest recreation exhibits, and positively my favourite, with celebrities enjoying (or trying to play). Steve Harvey is at all times hilarious, and it is enjoyable watching the competitors whereas additionally figuring out that either side can have cash given to their charity of selection. I am not usually capable of watch episodes stay within the 2025 TV schedule, however I have been lacking Matlock sufficient that I made the hassle for the most recent installment, with one crew led by Jason Ritter. I figured it would be time, however I wasn’t anticipating that his stepmom, actress Amy Yasbeck, would completely steal the present.
Staff Ritter was represented by Matlock‘s Jason Ritter, Jason’s brothers Tyler and Noah Ritter, household good friend Meredith Ford O’Neal, and stepmom Amy Yasbeck. They had been enjoying in help of the John Ritter Basis for Aortic Well being, in honor of the late 8 Easy Guidelines icon, father, and husband. They had been up in opposition to Staff Richter, led by longtime late night time sidekick (and future Elsbeth visitor star) Andy Richter. The competitors gave the impression to be all in good enjoyable… besides that Yasbeck appeared to actually need to win.
(You’ll be able to see for your self with the episode out there streaming by way of a Hulu subscription now.)
That is to not say that she was out for the blood of Andy Richter or his family members, however seeing her spirit of competitors in a recreation the place either side had been assured to win cash for his or her charity was simply entertaining. Her strategy to Household Feud was even funnier reverse Steve Harvey, who I keep has the very best response faces on tv. He did not appear to know what to make of it when Amy Yasbeck pretend punched her competitors, and the duo bought much more laughs out of me when Staff Ritter was attempting to get the solutions to this: “Earlier than you’ve a child, you may observe parenting on what?”
Yasbeck proved that she’s an ace on the recreation by beating her opponent by nailing the #1 reply (which was “a pet”), after which proved that no one on her personal crew was above reproach if she did not like their solutions. Noah, her son, was praised for a “good reply” when he accurately guessed “a neice or nephew,” however she undoubtedly didn’t approve of stepson Jason guessing “A bag of flour.”
And dang it, it was simply humorous to see Jason and Tyler sporting huge smiles whereas ready for Steve Harvey’s response, whereas Amy Yasbeck seemed a lot like she needed to facepalm that Harvey went to talk along with her. She reminded everyone that she’s Jason’s “stepmom” quite than organic mother, then shouted “GREAT ANSWER, JASON, YOU’RE THE BEST!” when Harvey reminded her that the households are purported to help one another. Then the host and the stepmom had this nice alternate:
- Amy Yasbeck: “Sorry, it was stunning.”
- Steve Harvey: “I do know, I used to be shocked.”
- Amy Yasbeck: “[Bag of flour] might be up there!
- Steve Harvey: “No, it may’t. No, it may’t.”
In Jason Ritter’s protection, I additionally considered a bag of flour after the extra apparent selections. I by no means needed to pretend guardian an inanimate object for college, however I might undoubtedly heard of the bag of flour technique. I can not say the identical for Tyler Ritter’s guess: “a flower or plant.” Yasbeck doubled down on reminding everyone that she’s Tyler and Jason’s stepmom, and each she and Steve Harvey had been appropriate that “flower or plant” was not the important thing.
I additionally bought a kick out of household good friend Meredith Ford O’Neal making arguably the wildest guess of all of them with “a Tamagotchi,” and Amy Yasbeck not critiquing her in any respect. Is there something extra relatable than household taking photographs at one another, however being good to anyone not really associated to them?
I ought to point out that none of this appeared mean-spirited, and all of the Ritter brothers had been laughing when Yasbeck reacted strongly to a few of their extra outlandish guesses. She was only a enjoyable addition, and I extremely advocate watching the episode on Hulu simply to expertise her tone and the way Steve Harvey reacted to her.
Yow will discover this episode and each different episode of Superstar Household Feud Season 11 up to now streaming on Hulu now. As for Matlock, a.ok.a. the rationale why I made the hassle to look at this episode stay, you’ll find Jason Ritter’s return reverse Kathy Bates when Season 2 premieres on Sunday, October 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS earlier than returning to its common Thursday 9 p.m. ET time slot on October 16.
