Steve Harvey, 66, politely gave the family's grandmother a fair warning that the question would be suggestive.
He eased in by saying to her in the clip shared earlier this week: "This is the question I'm going to ask you, Mrs. Phyllis."
"I don't approve of this question at all."
"Okay," she responded. "You wanna throw it out?"

Steve replied that he couldn't do so but blamed the "them little dirty producers" for forcing his hand.
The Family Feud host then read the question: "If your sex life had a remote control, name a button you'd hit a lot."
However, Phyliss was more than ready to ring in, it turned out.
"Change the channel," she guessed instantly with a completely straight face.

Steve bowled over laughing while holding onto the team's podium and yelled: "Give me something else!" unfortunately, it wasn't on the board, which she was a good sport about.
'GRANNY DIDN'T HESISTATE!'
That said, fans were won over when the clip of Phyllis implying she would change her sexual partner if need be was shared by the show.
It was captioned: "If your sex life had a remote control, what’s a button you’d hit a lot?? Ms. Phyllis stuns #SteveHarvey! #FamilyFeud."
One fan replied: "She saw a lot in her life already and doesn’t waste time to change the channel."
"Unironically a good answer," wrote another.
"She’s old. Not dead! Get it, Phyllis!" wrote a third.
"Granny didn't hesitate," commented a fourth.
"How is that NOT on the board!?" wondered a fifth.
"Disclaimer from Steve at the beginning shows respect for the young lady," wrote a sixth with two heart emojis.
'MY MARRIAGE IS FINE'
Meanwhile, the legendary Steve has had a whirlwind of a week regarding social media.
On Friday, he hinted he was firing his social media manager over a "negative" tweet he'd "never" post.
On Sunday, he assured fans that his marriage to his wife of 16 years, Marjorie Harvey, was not on the rocks amid unfounded rumors she cheated.
The week prior, internet speculation flared that Marjorie, 56, had an affair with Steve's personal chef and bodyguard, which both parties since denied.
Steve addressed the rumors at Invest Fest 2023 in Atlanta before the event started.
He told the crowd, as seen in a TikTok video shared by an attendee:
"Before I get started, just let me say I'm fine. Marjorie's fine."
Steve threw up a shrug and continued: "I don't know what y'all doing, but find something else to do 'cause we fine.
"Lord have mercy," he added from the stage.
'FOOLISHNESS AND LIES'
Just hours later, on Sunday, Marjorie slammed the accusations in a post on her Instagram account.
She uploaded a screenshot of a website entitled How to handle being lied about, which contained a quote from the Bible.
She uploaded an article titled: “How to handle being lied about,” which included a Bible verse about “hurled insults” [seen below].
In the caption, Marjorie assured her relationship with Steve was just fine.
“My husband and I don’t usually stop to address all the foolishness and lies that have been spread about us,” she wrote.
Recently, rumors swirled that Marjorie filed for divorce after being "caught cheating" with his bodyguard William Freedman, aka Big Boom, the Economic Times reported.
As it stands, the rumors are completely unfounded, and it's unclear where they originated.
Marjorie is Steve Harvey's third marriage- and vice versa- the pair have been married since 2007.
