‘Family Feud’ taps O’Hurley

John O’Hurley has a new gig. The silver-haired star of last summer’s “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC will become the new host of the syndicated game show “Family Feud,” beginning this fall.

FremantleMedia North America and Tribune Entertainment announced Tuesday that they plan to revamp the 30-year-old TV show with a new set and new host: O’Hurley, who is best known for playing the pompous catalog king J. Peterman on “Seinfeld.” O’Hurley, 49, joins a fraternity of “Family Feud” emcees that includes Richard Dawson, Ray Combs, Louie Anderson and Richard Karn.

Tribune Entertainment is a division of Chicago-based Tribune Co., which also publishes the Los Angeles Times.
