Richard Dawson Has Passed Away
Richard Dawson, the original host of Family Feud, has gone up to the fast money round in the sky at the age of 79. Richard's son, Gary Dawson, posted the news on Facebook (via LAT) and said that his father passed away last night from cancer.
"It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my father passed away [Saturday] evening from complications due to esophageal cancer. He was surrounded by his family. He was an amazing talent, a loving husband, a great dad and a doting grandfather. He will be missed but always remembered."
Before Richard made "R U SERIOUS?" faces at dumb as shit contestants on Family Feud, he was on Hogan's Heroes, Laugh-In, The New Dick Van Dyke Show and Match Game. Match Game led to Family Feud, which won him a Daytime Emmy for Best Game Show Host. Richard also played an evil parody version of himself in The Running Man.
And now Richard is up in heaven, dry kissing the lady angels. I bet he's slipping some of them the tongue. I mean, it is heaven after all. Survey says: Rest in peace, Richard Dawson.

Loved his drunk ass on FF and Hogan's Heroes. How else you supposed to get through that fuckery? Who didn't drink their way through the 70s? RIP.
Loved Richard Dawson and have never watched any other version of FF but his! To me, RD *IS* Family Feud.
He was handsome, charming & funny, if a bit pervy with all that kissing and touching. But hey it was the Seventies and half the time on the Match Game I think they snorted lines during commercial breaks.
RIP Richard Dawson. No one could belt out an "And the survey SAYS!" like you could. I'm sad.
My mom will always have a leg up on me in life, as she was kissed by Richard Dawson. My dumbass family may have lost on Family Feud, but Mom got the lip action....Damn her to hell
I only know him from The Running Man as I live down under, but it was a memorable performance.
I so love the kissing of each and every one of these women. What a flirt!

Awwwww..this is sad. My Grandma watches Game Show Network all day every, they still show Match Game, and fuck if she don't know ALL of the answers. I guess watching repeats for 40 years really pays off! :p

That is so weird now, the whole kissing thing. Maybe in the swingin' 70's that shit was normal.

Loved him in Hogan's Heroes! Anyone who shares that many kisses and hugs in this life should go to heaven. I'm just saying...
Oh Richard, I loved you so. Thank you for all the laughs and for having the moxie to spoof yourself opposite Arnold Schwarznegger. Rest in peace, dear man.

This is the first and only time I have been genuinely shocked and saddened by a celebrity's passing. I loved his reactions to dumb bitches on the Feud and his usually decent guesses on the Match Game (I hated when assholes would guess something funny/outrageous, it really screwed the contestant). My favorite Richard Dawson moment is the September blooper on FF where he just looses it.
RIP you old horndog

Survey SAYS....RIP. Richard Dawson was funny, and I think he generally was trying to put people at ease with the smooches on "The Feud". I also believe he had a cocktail or two before and possibly during taping....

I remember rushing home after school to watch Match Game. I was usually joined by a group of friends since my house was closest to the bus stop. Some of the happiest memories of my childhood.
He was pretty seedy on family feud but always awesome in those bright colored polyester suits. He would even wear those tacky ass gifts that contestants from Kansas would bring him, (that's the real reason why he won the Daytime Emmy). However, that being said, my all time favorite show is Match Game because of Charles Nelson Riley. Charles was the ultimate shimmer of light.
Wow, what a great audience.
Awwwwwwwwww, man!!! *kicks desk* This gives me the sads. That was one of my favorite shows when I was a bacon bit.

What? Celebs go in threes...
Yup, thought he was dead already.
He was a good host for sure but he creeped me out with that kissing when I was a little girl. That nasty! I knew it was pervy.
He probably picked up herpes doing that.
one time only..snark aside. I honestly thought he died years ago.
This guy always skeeved me out with the creepy pervo uncle vibe. Sorry but I have no twat claps to give.
SURVEY SAYS: Rest In Peace, Richard Dawson.
That's the Number One Answer.

That's too bad, now they're not going to be able to do the Hogan's Heroes movie that I'm sure with the creative bankruptcy Hollywood seems to be going through is out on some studio's desk.
OMG, according to his wikipedia page, he married a contestant! That must have been a hell of a kiss!
"Upon retiring, Dawson took up residence in Beverly Hills, California with his wife since 1991, the former Gretchen Johnson, whom he met when she was a member of one of the contestant families on Family Feud in 1981. They had a daughter named Shannon Nicole Dawson. Dawson announced this and showed a picture of his daughter on an episode in the 1994 version of the Feud -- as he was greeting one of the contestants who happened to be a former contestant of his while he was a panelist on The Match Game. The episode was featured on the 25th Anniversary of Family Feud as No. 14 on the Game Show Network's Top 25 Feud Moments."
Are we sure this was just last night?
I'm so sad about this! I had such a crush on Richard Dawson when I was a kid. He made me laugh so hard at the side eyes he would throw the contestants when they would give obviously stupid answers. The one that i remember the most where Richard Dawson practically pissed his pants and could not stop laughing was: the month of pregnancy when a woman begins to look pregnant? Answer : September. Classic!!

RIP Dickie, you were great on the Match Game, every contestant picked you!
I remember that from watching reruns of The Match Game on Game Show Network. He was pretty witty and also had an amazing record at matching answers with the contestants when they did that bonus round or whatever it was called after they'd won. I also think he hit the right note as host on Family Feud - he joked around with the families for laughs but never in a mean-spirited way.
Brings back memories! RIP!
So upset about this. I used to watch him on reruns of Family Feud on Game Show Network. My first older gentleman crush. :(

Back when I was a little kid I watched reruns of Hogan's Heros and had a crush on RD. Those shows were the best. I also had a crush on Dobie Gillis (Dwayne Hickman) and Ricky Nelson although they were old men by the time I saw them.
Damn TV (and music) today sucks ass.
Happy memory: My mom would squeal and clap like a school girl when Richard Dawson was announced and walked out at the beginning of Family Feud. She absolutely loved that man.
********************************************
I've written a letter to MK...saying...I...love...youuuuuu.
aahhh..my mom had such a crush on him when he was on Match Game..
Always watched Family Feud during the summer and when I was home sick. My grandfather always said "is that the guy that's always kissing everybody????!!!"
Sadness, RIP, Mr Dawson
Family Feud...alas...another show that babysat me when I was sick/playing hooky from school.
Richard Dawson was great. Random thoughts here, one time the show's topic was "Things You Request on an Airplane." Well, aisle seat and window seat had already been guessed (correctly), and this next contestant shouted out "The middle seat!!!" I recall my 3rd grade-self thinking, "who the fuck requests a middle seat on a plane?"
Good times.
Oh bless him. Vern, so did I. Bless him he lived to be 79 to see the shenigans he created.
Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.
The only TV game show I ever watched was Family Feud when Dawson hosted.
