 As Ray Combs walked out on stage for the CBS premiere of "Family  Feud", (July 4, 1988), he wished America a happy birthday and stated  that he had been watching all of the great CBS shows and was excited  about being on CBS hosting "Family Feud". Ray then added that he  thought he was prepared for the job, but then, (jokingly), asked to  see the first item up for bids. (in reference to CBS "The Price Is  Right") On Ray Combs last episode, ("The New Family Feud",  syndicated, 1994), the winning family gets several 0s, (zeros), in  "Fast Money" which prompted Ray to say something to the effect of,  "Ive been hosting this show for six years and I think this is a  damn fine way to go out." As the cameras continued to roll during  the credits Ray walked off stage and out of the studio.
