Celebrity Family Feud?

[Krom]

With AL ROKER?

Good grief.

Day 1: Ice-T and his hanger-oners, er... I mean family vs. Joan Rivers, and her equally annoying family.

"The families"

--Ice, Lil' Ice, Ice's best friend "Seany Sean", Coco--Ice's blond trophy wife, Ice's mother-in-law who's had a ton of surgery, obviously, so she can claim to be her daughter's older sister when they go out to bars together.

--Joan, Melissa, Joan's cardiologist nephew Andrew, Sabrina (Joan's assistant of 20 years) Joan's niece Caroline

Ice starts off cursing, but we don't hear it (they don't even bleep it--they just cut it out totally but talk about it afterwards).

Twenty years ago, this would have been a sketch on Saturday Night Live. Now, it's real.

What does this say about us as a society?

They HAD Celebrity Family Feuds twenty years ago, didn't they?

That said... it IS like a setup for a skit. Especially Ice and his boobalicious Trophy wife, Joan's stereotypical "nice Jewish doctor" nephew, Ice's botoxed to all heck Mother-in-law, Joan's African-American assistant (in the comedy sketch version though the assistant would be muttering under her breath making sarcastic comments about Joan)...

Lil' Ice vs. Dr. Andrew as a faceoff has comedy potential...

EDIT - Nope. Nothin'. Surprisingly they are both boring as hell. But the Ice MILF-in-law immediately comes back with a "sex" answer...

The Ice-cycles got trounced. Straight rounds.

Next up:

The Raven-Symone family vs. the Wayne Newton family.

The quality of the "stars" has fallen REALLY quickly.

Raven-Symone brought her TV parents to accompany her mom.

Wayne brought his "beautiful" family. Seriously, that's the one label he uses for ALL of them, in turn. He doesn't appear to know any other flattering adjectives.

The entire Wayne Newton family has had an alarming amount of plastic surgery. Including the kids.

[Unklescott]

I wonder if Wayne and his wife got a group discount from the plastic surgeon or at least some frequent flier miles.
ETA I'm glad to see it wasn't just me MFW.

The Ravenettes are all dressed like they are extras from an episode of M*A*S*H.

Is Raven her first name or is it just part of a hyphenated last name? I'm confused.

EDIT - Answer: Neither. Wikipedia says her name is "Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman".

Yay for the Rivers victory <3

Melissa & Joan are fierce beyotches. They are now both Family Feuding Queens <3
