It would be a rookie mistake to have Jenna Dewan join your Celebrity Family Feud team. On Sunday night’s (Aug. 27) episode of the Steve Harvey-hosted game show, the actress hilariously screwed up not once, but twice.
The episode featured the cast of ABC’s police procedural show The Rookie — featuring Dewan — competing against its spinoff, The Rookie: Feds. At one point in the game, Harvey asked the OG cast to name an athlete “who has so many trophies, he’d make a good trophy husband.”
However, it looked like they might need to brush up a bit on their sports knowledge.
“Uh… um… I don’t know, I don’t know,” a flustered Dewan contemplated in a high-pitched voice, before finally answering, “Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! I don’t think that’s [it].”
The Step Up star turned away from the stage and laughed off her answer as Harvey — who made a funny face — deemed it incorrect.
Meanwhile, her team had one more chance when her co-star Eric Winter came up to bat. With Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Tom Brady already on the board, the actor guessed Rafael Nadal, leaving even Harvey a bit confused over his response.
“Who? Oh, Rafael Nadal, the tennis player. OK. Rafael Nadal is right up there with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,” the host joked, before revealing the final athlete as Michael Phelps.
Dewan had another opportunity to redeem herself elsewhere in the game when Harvey asked her to name a holiday gift a dad must get tired of receiving every year. Without hesitation, the mom-of-two called out, “Framed picture. Family photo!”
Again, she burst into laughter and put her head into her hands as a big, red X appeared on the screen — proving the star simply isn’t cut out for the cutthroat world of game shows.
In the end, the cast of The Rookie: Feds — which included Niecy Nash, Britt Robertson, Kevin Zegers, Felix Solis and James Lesure — won the game. Therefore, a whopping donation was made to the Amazing Grace Conservatory.
Celebrity Family Feud airs on Sunday nights at 8/7c on ABC.
