A dog joins a conga line. Kamikaze fish take revenge on
fishermen. Tots wear their food. A horse collapses under
the weight of a portly woman. Hilarious pictures from real life,
captured on tape by America's growing army of camcorder
owners, were the subject of this first surprise hit of the 1990s.
The premise was extremely simple. Viewers were invited to
send in their tapes, from which the funniest short segments
were shown. The studio audience voted for the best in each
show: first prize took away $10,000, second prize $3,000,
third prize $2,000. Several times each season a grand prize of
$100,000 was offered, and viewers at home could vote by a
special 900 number (more than 250,000 called in Season 1).
In its 27 seasons to date, America's Funniest Home Videos
has given away over $16 million. Created by Vin Di Bona,
America's Funniest Home Videos is Network TV's Longest
Running Prime-Time Game Show, and also the longest
running entertainment series in the history of ABC.
