On Friday, Nov. 22 Milwaukee will be represented on the popular game show, Family Feud featuring Steve Harvey.
The Ivorys made up of brothers and cousins will appear on the show which airs in Milwaukee on WVTV CW-18, beginning at 6:00 pm.
According to Earl Ivory, he sent in an email expressing an interest in becoming contestants on the show.
The Feud producers invited the Ivorys to an audition being held in Indianapolis, IN, and they traveled there for the opportunity.
Earl came from his home in Georgia to be a part of it.
“All of us are fans of the show, we even have the apps on our phones to play it.
The entire process from the email to actually being selected to appear on the show took about 5 months.” Ivory shared.
The brothers and cousins who appeared on the show were, Earl, Vincent, Bumpy, Praylo and Teddy.
All still live in Milwaukee except for Earl, and after the show Praylo has recently moved to Atlanta, GA.
All five attended MPS high schools that included, Custer, Vincent, North Division and Riverside, their ages range from 35- 40 years-old.
Earl said that they had a great time on the show, although he could not reveal any results on how they did, Milwaukeeans will have to tune in for that.
But he did add, “I must say, we gave our props to Milwaukee and represented it well”.
