Kristin Chenoweth's answer to a "Celebrity Family Feud" prompt might get the network a Rated R rating.

In a turn against actress Kathy Najimy on Sunday's episode, the Tony winner answered the prompt "After the lips, what's your favorite part of a man to kiss?" with "rhymes with heinous."

The reply was bleeped out by the show, and it left host Steve Harvey speechless.

"I'm sorry, I'm a good Christian girl. Forgive me," Chenoweth, 54, said.

Chenoweth's answer was not on the board, leaving Najimy, 65, to win the face-off for her team after she answered "cheek."

"You go stand right over there, young lady. You stay right over there, young lady," Harvey, 65, joked, guiding Chenoweth to stand on her family's side of the set.

Harvey added: "Oh my God, I can just tell you're a wonderful person … welcome to Sunday-night TV, folks."

Najimy's team had four out of six answers on the board with "neck," "cheek," "furry pecs" and "ear" before reaching three strikes.

Harvey approached a giggling Chenoweth for a second try to get her team redeemed and joked: "Can we ask anybody else?"

Chenoweth's more family-appropriate answer "hands" still was not on the board.

Kristen Chenoweth appeared on Sunday's episode of "Celebrity Family Feud" to face off against Team Kathy Najimy.

Chrissy Teigen gets real about first encounter with John Legend on 'Celebrity Family Feud'

Chenoweth's racy answer is not the first time a celebrity has left Harvey stunned.

In a 2019 appearance, Chrissy Teigen answered very honestly about her first time meeting John Legend. The couple, who wed in 2013, met on the set of Legend’s music video "Stereo" in 2006.

"We did the video, and then we had sex," she said, laughing as Harvey looked shocked. "I went to your hotel, and …" she continued, before Legend cut her off, reminding her, "It’s a family show."

"Do you want to hear it though, or not?" Teigen pressed. "You can edit it."

Pastrnak scores OT winner, Bruins down Leafs 2-1 in Game 7 to send Toronto packing
BOSTON — Sheldon Keefe told his players hockey history would remember them one way or another. Down 3-1 in their first-round playoff series a week ago, this iteration of the Maple Leafs — left for dead by fans and media alike — could roll over and book their tee times. Or push back and fight. Keefe had no complaints after his group battled injury and illness to stretch a patient, defensively stout opponent to its limit. In the end, however, that effort still wasn't enough.
