Final Episode[]

"(wild cheers and applause)RICHARD: Thank you, please. (wild cheers and applause continue) I will never do this show... Thank you. Thank you, please. (wild cheers and applause continue) Stop, please. You gotta... I really thank you. But listen, I... Please sit down. I... that was very touching. I gotta do at least 30 minutes of fun and laughter, and you make me gonna cry, when you give me kind of that welcome, and I think you succeeded it. It's our last show, and I have to tell you, that whoever wins this and they play, normally they'll come back, they won't. Why did you do that to me? GENE: Because they love you, Richard. (cheers and applause) RICHARD: You can stop here again, here please. I gotta tell you. Thank you. Listen. That's very touching, but I'm double parked now, and so, we have to get on with this. I just have to thank this crew. I'm gonna say a few words at the end. For this crew thatdone every show we do here, the show has done other networks, they've been with us nine years, and the men and women that worked with ABCand do this show, I followed through hell and marvelous. (applause) Thank you, please. You're a great sensation. All right. I've haven't heard this many laughs, since George Jessel passed away. We're gonna play the game, and the champs are right here, the Murphys.Woofs!" - Richard Dawson giving his opening speech on the 1985 ABC finale season.

"So, the Mackins were our final winning family, and they've won $5,504, and I'm proud of 'em. I've had the most incredible luck in my career. I've done lots and lots of jobs, and I've never, ever had a job like Family Feud. I've never DREAMED I would ever have a job where so many people could touch me, and I could touch them. (audience laughing)And it is... agreat magic about this show, that I've never seen on any other show. I want to publicly acknowledge Howard Felsher, who's our executive producer. He was a producer in the beginning of the show, and he helped steer and guide the way that we went, and he and I fall a lot of times, but I tell you, that he is important, and I should acknowledge him, because he was the one, with me, that, we said, "Let anybody come on this show, anyone that could play this game, no matter what color or creed, no matter if they're in a wheelchair or they have no sight!". And we had everybody on this show, and he was very, very important, in that I acknowledge and thank him for it. I thanked my crew, and I thanked my director already. I had the best staff you've ever dreamed of. You can't... but you don't have to dream of them, 'cause I'm gonna take them with me. Even if I never work again, they'll just be near me. (audience laughing)They are so special and wonderful. ABC - Jackie Smith, Wally Weltmen, Joe C. Albott - they kept us on the air probably a year more than they should have, 'cause were weren't really helping them. You know, our ratings weren't that good, and they were so great. They buried themselves carrying us, and I love them for that. Not that I wanted to hurt 'em, but I... 'cause I love 'em. They were good people. There were people I know that got upset, that I kiss people; I kiss them for luck and love, that's all. That's what my mother did to me. There were people upset, that I would embrace or hug someone of a different color. (smacks lips) The first time I ever saw people of any color, was when D-Day left from my hometown in England, to go and free Europe from the war. And there was every color you could imagine, and I'd not seen that in England. And I asked my mother about it; I said, "Is there something wrong?". She said, "God... God makes people. You understand that don't you?". And I said, "Yeah!". She said, "Who makes a rainbow?". I said, "God.". She said, "I never presumed to tell anyone who could make a rainbow what color to make children!", and she changed my whole life with that statement. All I can tell you is, this has been a very special nine years of my life! If I never do another thing, I've met the good, sweet people of the world. So, I leave you with love, and for the little girl, that,nine years ago I first signed to - I guess she's 13 now - I'll think of you everyday. (camera snapshot)God bless all the little children in the world. Thank you." - Richard Dawson from his emotionally-driven farewell speech from the 1985 series finale

"You know, I've done this show for six years, and this could be the first time that I had a person that actually got no points, and I think it's a damn fine way to go out. You thought I was a loser, until you walked up here. You made me feel like a man. Tim, give me your hand." - Ray Combs on the Tran family only getting 77 points for $385 in Fast Money and left the stage after signing off in the 1994 series finale.

"(audience cheering) Thank you. Thank you very much. (audience cheering continues) Don't make me cry. (audience cheering continues)If you do too much of that, I won't be able to do a show for you, because I'll cry." - Richard Dawson on the first taped episode of his 1994 comeback.

"I had the best time in the world. Sweet Eddie, I thank you. My daughter, and my wife, my two sons I love. God bless all the little children in the world. Good night." - Richard Dawson from his 1995 "America's Finest" week season finale.
