"The Roots family" takes on "the Fallon Family" as Steve Harvey joins 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

The great tradition of 'Family Feud' has inspired people to scream at their television sets since 1976, helping to assign value to our most prevalent thoughts and associations.

On Friday, Steve Harvey presided over the second edition of 'The Tonight Show Family Feud,' which pitted "The Roots family" against "the Fallon family." Questlove, Tariq and James Poyser squared off against Fallon, Allison Brie of 'Sleeping with Other People,' and 'Tonight Show' announcer Steve Higgins.



How did The Roots fare in repping Philly? They pretty much stomped the Fallon family. True, they may have cheated a little bit when Tariq whispered an answer to Poyser, but in reality the hapless Fallon crew disrespected the game far worse when Jimmy answered a prompt in 'Jeopardy' form. 

Harvey's answer is great: "Family Feud is the new number one game show in the country today. You ain't the only one with a hot show."

And now, of course, the obvious thing to do is play a round or ten for yourself.
