Steve, 67, asked during the first round of a recent episode, “Something a man opens that his wife tells him to close?”
James, at the buzzer trying to win the round for his team, guessed, “Pornography?”
Steve did a double take and side-eyed the player as his teammates shouted, “Good answer!”
“Pornography” was not on the board, so James got a big red X and the other team got to play.
But Steve wasn’t done- he went over to James despite the other team having control to have it out with him.
‘LET ME TALK TO YOU’
“James, let me talk to you for a second,” Steve said, approaching his team.
James put his palm over his face and walked out from his podium to stand with Steve.
“You just looked at that camera over there and said you are a youth pastor.”
“And then your first answer was ‘pornography.’”
After a long pause, the host concluded, “Okay…” and brisked away, looking slightly fed up.
FANS REACT TO PASTOR’S FEUD FAIL
Fans flooded the comments section of Family Feud’s Instagram, stunned by the answer and appreciating Steve giving the player a talking-to.
“*Was a youth pastor” one joked.
“Check him Uncle Steve!!!” wrote another.
“My first answer was pants… But pornography from a youth pastor ain’t better than that,” wrote a third.
“Pastor James of the Lord,” wrote a fourth with a cry-laugh emoji.
Others offered better answers like, “His mouth…” or “door” or “oven.”
FREAKY FEUD
Recently, Steve repeated a question for a Family Feud contestant after the player gave a particularly horrible answer.
The prompt was, “Name the first thing a guy wants after his girlfriend has dumped him?”
The clip fast-forwarded to the controlling family attempting to fill out the board

Contestant Travis, who seemingly hadn’t thought of his answer before being asked, told Steve, “He wants to… have a cigarette.”
An unimpressed Steve looked back at the studio audience as the player’s family cheered on his off-the-mark response.

The comedian leaned toward the contestant and reread the question-thinking the player may have misheard.
“Travis, what’s the first thing a guy wants after his girlfriend has dumped him?” Steve asked before jokingly added, “Not humped him.”
Travis and the rest of his family laughed as, unsurprisingly, the player’s response failed to crack the top seven answers.
In the post’s comment section, one fan wrote, “That’s the weirdest answer ever.”
