‘Family Feud’ Players Allegedly Took Herpes Tests to Appear on Richard Dawson-Hosted Show

If you’re a longtime fan of Family Feud, you may remember Richard Dawson‘s run as host from 1976 until 1985. He was often seen being very touchy-feely with contestants, especially women, and would even kiss them on the mouth! That kind of behavior is obviously not tolerated today, some of which is detailed in the new book Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars. Writer Kliph Nesteroff writes about censorship in entertainment and some of the bizarre and crazy things that happened back in the day.
