The Family Feud host couldn’t hide his shock after hearing the cheeky quip, or the fact that the answer made it onto the board.
During the hilarious moment, a contestant called Delaney made a wild guess for the final answer of the round.
Steve, 66, looked suave in a grey suit with a navy shirt and tie as he hosted the show he’s helmed for over 12 years.
He gave the prompt: “Name something Abraham Lincoln probably used to ride on.”
Delaney bravely said “Mrs. Lincoln,” but couldn’t hide her embarrassment as she blushed and held in laughter.
The father-of-seven stared at the audience aghast, but jokingly turned to the board and shouted: “Ridin’ on that thang Mrs. Lincoln!”
The board already showed more predictable answers: horse; carriage/wagon; and train.
Shockingly, though, the answer “Mary Todd Lincoln” came up for 2.
Delaney’s team immediately began celebrating, but Steve could only stare at the answer with his mouth open before he slowly turned around in astonishment.
The beloved host is no stranger to receiving NSFW answers on the show.
Recently, the Family Feud Instagram page posted a clip in which Steve asked competitor Susan to “give” him “something or someone that gets hotter and hotter.”
Susan quickly leaned into the mic, answering with a sly smile: “Playboy magazine as you get towards the centerfold.”
Steve appeared so taken aback by Susan’s reply that he laughed so hard that he struggled to compose himself.
