GNTC instructor and family to appear on ‘Family Feud’

Chef Greg Paulson, program director and instructor of Culinary Arts at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC), will appear this week on “Family Feud.”

Paulson, his wife Beth and stepchildren Matthew, Keely and Julie will appear on the national television show on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m.

“We had a great time,” Paulson said. “It was one of the top five fondest memories of things our family has ever done together.”

Paulson said on a whim, he applied to compete on the show without telling the rest of his family; then in 2023 they were selected to be interviewed for consideration as contestants. The show was taped in March 2024 and then was edited for broadcast during the current season.

The family’s initial nervousness soon gave way to exhilaration as they played against another family, Paulson said.

When a family wins a game on “Family Feud,” the family returns for the next day’s episode to compete against a new family. If a family wins five days in a row, which is the show’s limit for a family to participate, the family typically receives a larger prize. The current prize is a vacation package and $10,000 cash bonus.
