NFL legend Bruce Smith stuns Steve Harvey on ‘Family Feud’: ‘What the f*** did he say?’

It was a battle of NFL greats on Celebrity Family Feud, Sunday, as current stars took on NFL Hall-of-Famers. One legend in particular, Bruce Smith, provided both host Steve Harvey and viewers with one of the most legendary answers in the game’s history. While playing in the “fast money” round of the game, Smith was asked “If Captain Hook was moonlighting as a handyman, he might replace his hook with what tool?” To which Smith replied, “A hammer.” Unfortunately, his teammate Michael Irvin had already guessed that answer so he was forced to provide a second answer. Smith’s second answer surprised everyone when he immediately followed up with, “A penis.” Harvey had already begun asking the next question when he abruptly stopped and said, “What the f*** did he say?” After several seconds of laughter from the audience and participants, Harvey profusely apologized. “I swear I’m sorry, that just came out,” said Harvey. “I don’t even know where that came from?” Everyone on set found the answer to be hilarious and viewers at home were equally impressed. Many people, from fans to sports personalities, took to Twitter to revel in the hilarious response. Funny answers are common on the gameshow, but this answer was exceptionally hilarious. “Your ass is going on YouTube, though,” Harvey warned Smith. “You're gonna be the greatest clip ever played.” Smith did not earn any points for the obviously incorrect answer, but he did help his team solidify a $25,000 donation to the Professional Athlete Foundation.

KYLIE MAR: "Celebrity Family Feud" host Steve Harvey was left apologizing on Sunday after NFL Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith blindsided him during the fast money round.

[BUZZER]

STEVE HARVEY: Try again.

BRUCE SMITH: A penis.

STEVE HARVEY: Tell me the age a kid is too old to sleep with a ted-- what the [BLEEP] did he say?

KYLIE MAR: While replacing the legendary Peter Pan villain's hand with a hammer makes sense for a handy man, Hall of Famer Michael Irvin had already guessed a hammer previously. So Bruce guessed the second best thing he could think of-- and what a guess it was.

STEVE HARVEY: Your answer going on YouTube though. I say, y'all going on YouTube. Oh, but you gonna be on YouTube. You gonna be the greatness clip ever played 'cause Captain Hook replaced his hook with a penis.

KYLIE MAR: Viewers at home agreed it was a Hall of Fame answer, with one fan tweeting, "Poor Bruce Smith is going to be known more for that epic "Celebrity Family Feud" answer than for all of his sacks. lol." And while Bruce didn't receive any points for his answer, Steve pointed out that every man's tool belt is unique.

STEVE HARVEY: I guess that would be your other weapon. Well, if I can't use my hook, I tell you what. I bet I got something get the job done all the time.
