Fall River family set to appear on hit game show Family Feud

A Fall River family will soon be on the small screen after playing one of the most famous game shows in the country.

The Burgo family had a great time on the Family Feud last year and Adriana (Burgo) Lopez described to Fall River Reporter her experience on the show with her brothers and sisters Adriano Burgo Jr., Kevin Burgo, Natasha Burgo, and Chantel Lopez.

“My siblings and I auditioned for Family Feud in 2021, but because of Covid, we didn’t film the episodes until April of 2023. It was such a great experience. Everyone on the crew was so nice. They really cheer you on. They want everyone to win. We met some amazing people. The families that we were playing were so kind and funny.”

The Burgos have two episodes that will air. The first, on Monday February 5th at 7:00 p.m. and the 2nd on Tuesday February 6th also at 7:00 p.m. both on Fox Providence.

Lopez stated that filming lasted an hour and 45 minutes per episode for the half-hour show.

The family will proudly be representing Cape Verdeans and Fall River while in the spotlight answering survey questions from comedian and host Steve Harvey who Lopez had many positive things to say.

“He was very friendly. He loves to talk. He was very professional. He took the time to talk to each contestant, and even spoke to the audience in between tapings. He said that being on the Family Feud stage was the one place he could say whatever he wanted. His crew loved working with him. He definitely made the audience feel like they were part of the show. Most of our time on stage was talking to Steve and laughing at his jokes.”

Adriana is excited for her family to be on televisions across the country.

“We can’t wait for everyone to watch.”
