Robert Irwin's Aussie drawl?
Host Steve Harvey can't understand Robert Irwin's Aussie accent on Celebrity Family Feud.
Asked to "name something a five-year-old might ask a bank to loan them money to buy", Irwin enthusiastically replied with "a car".
Harvey, however, struggled with the kid's Sunshine Coast diction.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"A car," Irwin replied, before Oregon-born Terri helped out, putting the Americanised emphasis on the "r".
Robert understandably mocked the host's confusion, as the studio audience laughed. After all, isn't that how they talk about motor vehicles in Boston?
Despite the awkward interruption, the Irwins ended up winning the night over This Is Us star Chrissy Metz and her family, taking home $US25,000 ($33,000) for their Wildlife Warriors charity.
Irwin told Fairfax Media he had a great time on the show and found the exchange with Harvey "hilarious".
"My dad had the same problem when ordering water at any restaurant in the US," he said. "No one could understand him either!"
Over a decade since Steve Irwin's death, the Irwins remain hugely popular TV personalities in the States.
Speaking to the New York Post following taping of the episode, big sister Bindi said her dad would have been a "legendary" contestant on the show.
"He had to think at lightning speed when working with beautiful animals like crocodiles," she said. "That fast thinking would have for sure made him fantastic on the show."
Following in the footsteps of Bindi, who claimed the US version of Dancing With The Stars in 2015, the youngest Irwin has recently made a splash on US screens, emulating his dad's enthusiastic banter on late night talk shows.
He made his third appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show just last week, where he helped the nervous host feed a baby kangaroo.
