Family feud 200 points first round

Q: What is the most points scored in first round of Family Feud?

Keishas answers light up the board and score a record-breaking 170 points in the first round of Fast Money.

On the last Feud of 1976, the Vaught family had no money going into the Double Round (their opponents, the Tullis family {one of which was future Married... with Children actor Dan Tullis Jr.} had $117). They managed to win the game on the Double question by getting exactly $200 (which was the winning score at the time).
The York family — they're the ones who had an infamous Fast Money round that featured the "alligator" response (for a question asking for an animal that has three letters in its name) — was a multi-day champion, and for all the bad responses they'd give throughout the course of their run on the show, eventually did win one Fast Money round (this after spending several days figuring out who the right two players for Fast Money were), and eventually netted more than $10,000 during their several-day reign. In the end, the crowning moment of awesome was just their gamemanship and genuinely having a good time, and it was clear that Dawson — as he was saying goodbye to the family on their final day — truly loved and enjoyed having them on the show.
During the original run, upon expanding to five days a week, the Syndicated version, as game shows are known to do, held celebrity weeks. One 1985 week in particular featured ten members of the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Mark Goodson, Rod McKuen, Cesar Romero, Rory Calhoun, Keenan Wynn, Betty White, Arlene Dahl, Gloria DeHaven, Audrey Meadows, Dorothy Lamour). By the end of the week, the ladies dominated the men, winning three of the five games, and a final score of $41,534 to $10,700. Richard, as he was wont to do, increased the men's total to $12,500.
