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 were
invited to dial an 800 telephone number, with more than 250,000 calling in the
first $100,000 grand-prize competition alone.
In its 21 seasons to date, America's Funniest Home Videos has given away over $11 million
in prize money and evaluated more than half a million videotapes from home viewers.
The series is the longest-running primetime show in the history of the ABC Television Network.
