Johnston, who has worn many hats behind the scenes since Feud first aired in 1976, attributes the show’s longstanding popularity (and nominations) to a great host and an outstanding team. While far from the first nominations for Feud – there’s a certain buzz in the air that this year may be special.įamily Feud has been a mainstay in viewers’ homes for the past 40 years – what is it about the show that keeps live audiences cheering, and the masses tuning in year after year? We chatted with executive producer Gaby Johnston and director Ken Fuchs about what makes Feud so special. How’d we fare? The Family Feud team is thrilled to have been nominated in four categories: Outstanding Game Show, Outstanding Game Show Host, Outstanding Director in a Game Show, and Outstanding Live and Direct to Tape Sound Mixing. Winners will be revealed on Sunday, April 29 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Southern California, and live-streamed via Facebook, Twitter and the Daytime Emmys website. Nominations for the 45th annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced on Wednesday, March 21, live on the CBS talk show The Talk.
