FAMILY Feud host Steve Harvey has lost his voice after hearing a confusing answer from one of the contestants on a recent episode.
Fans are insisting the TV personality, 66, was too “disappointed” to speak.
In a clip shared to the Family Feud Instagram, Steve asked one of the players: “If you woke up during surgery, what would you hate to see the surgeon holding?”
The woman, named Jewel, had a bit of trouble coming up with her response.
Stumbling, she answered: “Those things that spin, you know? The things that people use to cut up people? But it spins? You know what I’m talking about?”
Steve simply stared at the contestant with a blank expression, seemingly not knowing what she was talking about in the slightest.

He soon admitted as such, telling her frankly: “No. I have no idea.”
The host’s eyes then widened as he looked at one of the other players and could only mouth, with no sound coming out: “What is she talking about? I have no idea!”
Despite Steve not knowing and despite Jewel not coming up with the term, the answer board still dinged to announce she had gotten it right, with the answer of “saw.”
She jumped up and down, while the host just stood there stunned.

One fan commented on the clip: “She was scaring him!”
Another added: “And then he lost his voice!”
A third pointed out: “The disappointment on his face!”
“HIS FACE WHEN IT POPPED UP,” a fourth wrote.
Meanwhile, another took issue with the fact that the player was even given a point for her response, asking: “What the heck? People are getting points for not finding the word??”
Steve is known for his reactions to contestants' answers on the game show, and while fans usually enjoy is mocking comments, he was recently called out for going a little too far.
While the host gently roasted a father who gave his kids a shoutout during a game, some thought the TV personality could've held out on any ribbing of the player.
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!"
"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.
Some fans begged Steve to "cut this man some slack," noting that it was his first time on television and that anyone might be nervous.
