Name a comedian who's being sued by an airplane company.

Survey says: Steve Harvey. The expressive host of Family Feud is being sued after failing to pay $205,040 to a company for tricking out a jet he promised to lease, according to WTSP.

Business Aircraft Leasing Inc. of Nashville filed suit on Wednesday claiming that Harvey agreed to pay it $400,000 for customization of a Gulfstream jet that he 'orally promised' to lease for $97,000 a month.

Still smiling: Despite being sued by an aviation company for nonpayment of around $205,000, comedian, talk show host, and Family Feud host Harvey looks upbeat

The company says it then hired another company, Florida-based Private Sky Aviation, to renovated the jet to make it seat 14 instead of 16, and customized the seat and interior design.

The company then says that Harvey, 58, paid about half the money before skipping out on the tab. It wants the court to decide the exact cost at trial.

The company is also suing One World Aviation, a company that Harvey owns or operates.

Business Aircraft Leasing now has the Harvey-inspired jet up for lease on its website.

Say whaa? The comedian is known for his animated facial expressions to contestants' often raunchy or left-field answers on Family Feud

Harvey is a comedian who also writes best-selling books, but is primarily known for his role as host on the rebooted Family Feud game show.

The show has drawn attention for the raunchy answers of its contestants - and the subsequent deadpan, disgusted or shocked expressions on Harvey's face.

He is also a quasi-relationship expert, and authored the best-selling books Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, and Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find and Keep a Man.

Harvey is worth an estimated $100million and has won three Daytime Emmy awards for his eponymous talk show.

WTSP says neither Harvey nor his publicist returned calls for comment.
