Celebrity Family Feud made television history on July 31, 2025, when actor Laverne Cox led the show’s first-ever all-transgender team, earning high-profile visibility and championing their cause.
The team won $25,000 for the TS Madison Starter House.
Lewd jokes have been made on the show in the past, so that isn’t new.
However, some fans are upset by the off-color jokes and innuendos made by the team. In addition, the charity they were playing to support helps transgender black-women sex workers. All of this was on an ABC “family-friendly” show.
Who Was on Team Laverne?
“Team Laverne” featured:
- Laverne Cox (leader)
- TS Madison
- Mila Jam
- Joslyn De Freece
- Peppermint
Memorable Moments & Steve Harvey’s Reactions
When host Steve Harvey asked if he could call TS Madison “TS,” Madison replied, “Listen, I take it ‘short or long,’” prompting laughter and surprise from the audience.
Harvey seemed shocked. The comments continued,
“We are free‑balling today, all day!”
Then Cox chimed in: “Some of us are without the ‘B’ word, so some of us have set them free.”
