It’s important to me that on ‘Family Feud’ I could kiss all the people. It sounds crazy but when I first came here Petula Clark was on a show with Nat King Cole and he kissed her on the cheek and eighty-one stations in the South canceled him. I kissed black women daily and nightly on ‘Family Feud’ and the world didn’t come to an end, did it?
