Taraji P. Henson vs Jennifer Hudson Face Off On Celebrity Family Feud

Celebrity Family Feud made a lively return for its 11th season on July 10, 2025, with host Steve Harvey bringing his signature charm and quick wit. The premiere kicked off with two exciting face-offs: Taraji P. Henson’s team vs. Jennifer Hudson’s squad, and a showdown between The Dan Patrick Show and The Rich Eisen Show all playing for charity.

Taraji represented the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, while Jennifer played for her own Jennifer Hudson Foundation. The competition started with a spicy question posed to 100 women: What would you do if the diamond in your engagement ring turned out to be fake? Taraji’s “Give it back” answer hit the board as “Throw it at him,” while teammate Jolon’s “Call up your husband immediately” landed the top spot.

From “Fake it till you make it” to “Cry,” Team Taraji pulled through with clever responses nailing all the answers before moving on to a music-inspired round.

Next, teams were asked to name the best R&B group of all time. Destiny’s Child, TLC, SWV, and The Supremes made the list—but when the Spice Girls popped up, both Taraji and Jennifer raised an eyebrow, reminding everyone that’s more pop than R&B.

One of the game’s standout questions? Name a city where taking the train is easier than driving. Answers like “New York” and “Chicago” rolled in, but after a failed steal from Team Taraji, it all came down to sudden death.

The tiebreaker? Another word for “sexy.” Jennifer’s teammate Razia nailed it with “Hot,” sealing the win for Team J-Hud. Of course, both teams walked away with donations for their causes and we got plenty of laughs along the way.

From hilarious guesses to fast-paced buzzer battles, the premiere served up family fun, fierce competition, and fan-favorite moments. If the rest of the season is anything like this, we’re in for a good time!
