Loved American Idol superstars reunite to compete in Celebrity Family Feud season 12 for their favorite charities. Hosted by Steve Harvey, ABC’s version of Celebrity Family Feud premiered in June 2015 as part of the network’s “Summer of Fun & Games” primetime game show programming block. The celebrity version of the classic game features stars and their families, or “families” of stars from various aspects of the entertainment industry, playing for charity.
American Idol season 24 ended in May, crowned Hannah Harper as its winner. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest and now judged by Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, the reality singing competition premiered in 2002 and has since spawned some of the most successful and popular music artists of the modern era, including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert. Now more American Idol stars will compete on Celebrity Family Feud season 12, which premieres on Thursday 9 July at 20 ET on ABC.

It will be a real pleasure to watch American Idol finalists competing, notably David and David, and Ruben and Clay, who fought each other during their finals but are now on the same team. That’s what the study says Celebrity Family Feud and American Idol is the perfect combination.
