The primetime summer hit, "Celebrity Family Feud," a primetime celebrity version of "Family Feud," returns for a third season. The 10-episode series will feature celebrity families, and their immediate family members or their extended TV families, competing against each other to win money for charity.

Hosted by Steve Harvey, the highly popular multi-hyphenate standup comedian, actor, author, deejay and Emmy® Award-winning game show host, "Celebrity Family Feud" pits celebrities and their families against each other in a CONTEST to name the most popular responses to a survey-type question posed to 100 people.

"Celebrity Family Feud" is produced by FremantleMedia NORTH AMERICA and is taped in front of a live audience in Los Angeles, California. Gaby Johnston and Jennifer Mullin are executive producers.
