Synopsis: America's Funniest Home Videos returns with
more amazing and hilarious home videos that have become an American
institution over 13 seasons on ABC. The videos, submitted by viewers,
offer big laughs and compete to win big money. In addition to the weekly
contests, special $100,000 grand prizes will be awarded during the season
to video buffs whose wildly funny or unusual video clips are judged
favorites by studio audiences.
Host Tom Bergeron continues to introduce the comic clips that capture
the unexpectedly funny things that happen when adults, children, animals
and sometimes even inanimate objects are at their spontaneous best.
From practical jokes to home improvement plans gone awry, from animal
mishaps to just flat out strange behavior, "America's Funniest Home
Videos" pulls out all the stops to present a hilarious look at everyday
people caught on tape in their most embarrassing moments.
Each week throughout the season, $15,000 in prize money will be awarded:
$10,000 for the clip the studio audience chooses as its favorite, $3,000
for second place and $2,000 for the third-place winner. All $10,000
winners are eligible for the $100,000 grand-award competition, to air
at a later date.
In its 13 seasons to date, "America's Funniest Home Videos" has given
away over $6 million in prize money and evaluated more than half a million
videotapes from home viewers.
