FAMILY Feud host Steve Harvey has lovingly roasted a father who gave his kids a shoutout during a game.

In a clip posted to the official Family Feud Instagram account, Steve gave the first-time Feud player some good-natured ribbing.

It all started when Steve tried to get to know the man a bit before diving into a round.

The official Family Feud account captioned the clip: "Being on national TV for the first time is harder than it looks. #SteveHarvey lovingly roasts cute shout-out! #FamilyFeud"

"Any kids?" Steve asked the contestant, who enthusiastically responded, "Two!"

"Alright man, this is for the family," Steve replied. "What's their names? Say hello, man."

The somewhat nervous player named his children: "Jaylen, Naomi, Daddy's speaking to you."

The sweet shoutout had Steve breaking into a laugh, doubling over and then turning to address the camera.

"This is when you are on national TV for the first time," Steve laughed, before busting out with an impression of the nervous dad.

"Jaylen, Naomi, Daddy's speaking to you," Steve mocked with a deadpan expression.

Fans couldn't get enough of the clip, as many of them thought the man was going to mention a third child.

One wrote: "Somehow I thought he was gonna call a third child’s name and had to pump his brakes."

Another commented: "I thought he was gonna throw out a 3rd name lol"

Others begged Steve to "cut this man some slack," noting that it was his first time on television, and that anyone might be nervous.

FEUDING LOVERS?

Meanwhile, Steve had fans buzzing after he mocked a contestant on-stage over her bold response on Family Feud.

Family Feud shared a hilarious clip on their social media feed.

In the off-the-wall clip, host Steve Harvey, 66, asked the female contestant, Annette: "Name something you and your spouse do together that might be too much togetherness."

Annette appeared to have sex on her mind as she replied: "Make love."

The comedian leaned over to her and said: "You about sick of him, huh?"

"Good answer!" one fan joked in the comments section as another added "Terrible!" with laughing emojis.

This is not the first time the Family Feud host has been subjected to a bold response by a player.

In another hilarious moment, a contestant named Delaney made a raunchy guess about the 16th US President.

Steve asked her: "Name something Abraham Lincoln probably used to ride on."

Delaney answered: "Mrs. Lincoln."

The contestant immediately realized she should not have said that as she blushed in embarrassment and held in her laughter.

The father of seven stared at the audience, then jokingly turned to the board, and shouted: "Ridin’ on that thang, Mrs. Lincoln!"

"Mary Todd Lincoln" turned out to be among the answers, which included: horse, carriage/wagon, and train.

While Delaney and her team were celebrating, Steve stared with his mouth open at the naughty response.

'NAME A PLACE'

The beloved host is no stranger to receiving NSFW answers on the game show.

The comic recently asked a male contestant: "Name a place where you'd be shocked to find your parents making out."

He said: "Sex on the beach."

The player explained himself: "Yeah, in the sand! Late night with the moon just shimmering over the ocean!"

He laughed and added: "Sorry, Dad!"

The Kings of Comedy star seemed amused by the answer and went on: "Waves just washing up on your mommy and your daddy!

"Seagulls flying by!"

Steve then imitated a seagull and made a shrill squawking noise while the audience laughed.

He finally checked the board and discovered "beach" was one of the correct answers.

'ROAD TO FAME'

Although the TV personality is now a household name, Steve revealed his early struggles on Hoda Kotb's Making Space podcast.

In January, Steve revealed he won $50 from his stand-up in 1985.

He admitted: "I went to work the next day, quit my job. Told everyone I was a professional comedian."

"And you just kept at it?" Hoda asked.

Steve continued: "Well, I became homeless. I was living in a car for three years.

"I never believed in a plan B. Everybody that I know that has had a plan B has had to use it."

He closed: "Because if you have a plan B, you can’t give your all to plan A."
