Steve Harvey faces a backlash after appearing not to recognize Tom Holland despite having interviewed him recently. His awkward behavior frustrates fans and leads to severe criticism

Steve Harvey stunned fans during a recent episode of Celebrity Family Feud when he appeared completely unaware of one of the world’s biggest movie stars. 

The hilarious incident occurred after the 67-year-old comedian — who was recently accused of cheating on the game show — asked contestant Clay Aiken to ‘name a famous “Tom” that a girl would love to go to the prom with.’ 

‘We’re going to go with Tom Holland,’ Clay replied, referring to the Marvel superstar.

The comedian looked confused as he leaned towards the American Idol icon and asked, ‘Who’s Tom Holland?’

‘Tom Holland, he’s Spider-Man,’ Clay explained, while Steve looked at him with a puzzled expression. 

Clay then comforted Steve, saying ‘Listen, it was the 15-year-old that came up with it! Don’t feel bad, Steve.’

The response on TikTok was swift as one commented, ‘How does Steve not know him,’ with another posting, ‘Not Steve saying, “Who is Tom Holland?”‘ 

A different follower chimed in, ‘He didn’t know Tom Holland is Spider-Man???’

Holland, a 28-year-old British heartthrob, has portrayed the Marvel superhero in three movies, 2017’s Homecoming, 2019’s Far From Home and 2021’s No Way Home. He also dates Zendaya.

The gaffe comes after Steve repeated a raunchy answer from a contestant that he’s never said on TV before.

Steve had the audience in stitches after shouting out the NSFW phrase during a showdown between rocker Chris Daughtry and the band Papa Roach.

The hilarious incident occurred after Harvey asked the survey question: ‘Name something Mrs. Peanut might do to Mr. Peanut if she gets mad.’ 

Among typical answers like chopping, eating, or making Mr. Peanut into butter, Papa Roach’s drummer Tony Palermo stood out with his unique response: ‘Break his nuts.’

Harvey fist-bumped Palermo, adding, ‘That’s what I love about the band, they have that real good humor.’

He continued, ‘I’ve never been able to say this on TV until now…’ before shouting in a high-pitch scream, ‘Break his nuts!’

The answer did not appear on the board, prompting Harvey to respond, ‘I don’t know how the hell that ain’t up there, that’s such a well thought-out answer.’

The hilarious episode comes almost a week after Harvey was left in disbelief after a player named him as a TV host that women fantasized over – prompting entertained viewers to say it looked like he was having a heart attack.

He doubled over following contestant Ava’s quick-fire assuredness, before pleading for his name to not be on the board.

It all kicked off when Steve asked: ‘What TV host past or present have you had romantic fantasies about?’

Without hesitation, Ava buzzed in and said ‘Steve Harvey’ before smacking her hand to her mouth and gasping.

‘Watch yourself little girl, watch yourself,’ Steve replied, before asking for her age. 

 ‘I’m 24,’ Ava revealed, prompting a doubly shocked Steve to cringe, ‘Oh God, no.’

He then winced and voiced further unease as he prepared for the board to reveal whether Ava’s answer was correct.

‘Please don’t be up there,’ he said, but seconds later it was revealed that ‘Steve Harvey’ was the top answer with a total of 17 points.

The studio audience erupted with laughter and Steve instantly bent over in recoil.

Viewers at home also couldn’t help but laugh at the scenes.

Taking to Instagram, one pointed out: ‘He had a heart attack.’

Echoing a similar sentiment, another said: ‘The way he just died twice.’

A third wrote: ‘It looked like he was about to collapse and needed to be carried away.’

‘He was not expecting it,’ a fourth commented alongside crying laughing emojis.

A fifth said: ‘Steve Harvey scared for his life.’

By the end of the round, it was revealed that Steve was closely followed by Jimmy Fallon as TV presenters that women fantasize about.

Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, Regis Philbin, Conan O’Brien, Donny Osmond, and Jeff Probst were also on the list.

Family Feud is no stranger to X-rated answers these days.

In June, a clip resurfaced which showed Steve high fiving a contestant’s husband after his wife gave him a risqué answer. 

In the scene, the gameplay was momentarily derailed when Steve asked both families to ‘name a place you are where you hold on.’

After her family members had already correctly guessed rollercoaster, speedboat, and airplane, contestant Jeni couldn’t help but hazard a cheeky guess and answered ‘the bedroom.’

The studio erupted in applause at the saucy quip, with her loved ones cheering, while her husband, Lance, immediately went in for a double high-five.
