America's Funniest Home Videos,^[1] also calledAmerica's Funniest Videos^[2] (abbreviated asAFV), is an Americanvideo clip television series onABC, based on a recurring segment on the Japanese variety showFun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan (1986–1992).^[3] The show features humoroushome videos that are submitted by viewers. The most common videos feature unintentionalphysical comedy, pets or children and some stagedpranks.

Originally airing as aspecial in 1989, it debuted as a regular weekly series in January 1990. The show was originally hosted by comedianBob Saget for the 1989 special and the first eight seasons of the series incarnation. After Saget stepped down as host in 1997,John Fugelsang andDaisy Fuentes took over as co-hosts for its ninth and tenth seasons. After two years of being shown as occasional specials (hosted by various actors and comedians such asD. L. Hughley,Richard Kind,Stuart Scott andSteve Carell, withMike Kasem andKerri Kasem hosting international versions), ABC brought the series back on Friday nights in 2001 withTom Bergeron taking over hosting duties; Bergeron is the longest-running host in the show's history to date, staying onAFV for fifteen seasons until he stepped down in 2015.Alfonso Ribeiro has hosted the program since 2015.

America's Funniest Home Videos is based on the 1986–1992Tokyo Broadcasting Systemvariety programKato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV (also known asFun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan), which featured a segment in which viewers were invited to send invideo clips from theirhome movies; ABC, which holds a 50% ownership share in the program, pays a royalty fee to TBS Holdings, Inc. for the use of the format (although the original parent show is no longer in production).^[4][5] Contestants can submit their videos by uploading them on the show's official website, AFV.com; through itsiOS orAndroidapps; on the show's officialFacebook fan page; or by sending them via mail to aHollywood, Californiapost-office box address.^[6][7] The majority of the video clips are short (5–30 seconds) and organized according to topics mentioned in the host's monologues. Videos usually feature people and animals getting into humorous accidents or behaving amusingly on camera, while others include clever marriage proposals, people and animals displaying interesting talents (such as pets that sound like they speak certain words or phrases, or toddlers with the ability to name all pastU.S. presidents), andpractical jokes. As of 1989, the show's production process featured a group of screeners viewing the submitted tapes and grading them on a 1–10 scale based on how humorous they were. The videos graded the highest were sent to the show's producers, and then to Di Bona and another producer for final approval.^[8] Videos that feature staged accidents, people being seriously injured, the abuse of animals and children, or that otherwise do not meet ABC networkstandards and practices are generally not accepted for broadcast.^[9]

Every week, the producers choose three videos to compete for a prize, with the studio audience voting for the winner. The first-place winner is awarded a $20,000 cash prize (previously $10,000 until Season 32), advancing to the season's semifinals and placed in the running for the $100,000 prize awarded during the middle and near the end of each season (each with its own corresponding eligibility period for the $10,000 winners selected from the block of episodes preceding each $100,000 prize telecast); the runner-up receives $6,000 (previously $3,000) and the third-place video receives $4,000 (previously $2,000). Starting in Season 12 (and awarded annually starting in Season 15), the winners of the $100,000 prize in the semifinals then advance to the finals and compete for a vacation prize package supplied byDisney Experiences (through its Disney Parks,Disney Cruise Line,Adventures by Disney orDisney Vacation Club arms), and the title of "America's Funniest Home Video".^[6][10] The program's studio segments are taped in front of a studio audience (although the specials that aired in 1999 and 2000 only featured pre-recorded audience responses, and episodes taped towards the end of Season 30 through Season 32 featured a "virtual" audience presented on set monitors throughvideo conferencing due to local and state crowd restrictions put in place during theCOVID-19 pandemic). Audience members are asked to dress in "business casual or nicer".^[11]

Show creator Vin Di Bona has produced three spin-off programs:America's Funniest People (1990–1994, with a revival planned for 2025; the revival's pilot aired on June 15 of that year as anAFV special),World's Funniest Videos (1996), and extension seriesAmerica's Funniest Home Videos: Animal Edition (2021–2022).^[12] In 2019, Di Bona also created an attempt at an adult-orientedspinoff,Videos After Dark, which was not picked up as a series but aired on ABC as a two-episode special.^[13] Di Bona also createdShow Me the Funny (1998–1999,Fox Family Channel) andThat's Funny (2004–2006, syndication), two similar comedic home video series—both hosted by actor/comedianRondell Sheridan, who succeeded original hostStephanie Miller on the former—that largely relied on repackaged clips from the video libraries ofAFV andAmerica's Funniest People.^[14] Several local television stations, even those not affiliated with ABC, also developed special funny home video segments in their newscasts during the early 1990s, and or local spinoffs, inspired by the series.^[15] As noted in the closing credits of each episode, most of the videos have been edited for length due to time constraints. In addition, according to the contest plugs, family members (both immediate or relatives) of employees ofVin Di Bona Productions,ABC, Inc., its corporate parentThe Walt Disney Company (and for the substantial majority of Saget's hosting tenure, its legal predecessor,Capital Cities/ABC) and their related subsidiaries are ineligible for the show's contests and prizes.

Series creatorVin Di Bona had previously developed a similar concept toAFV inAnimal Crack-Ups (1987–1990), a celebritygame show that aired primarily as part of ABC'sSaturday morning lineup and was based on the Japanese seriesWakuwaku Dōbutsu Land (or "Waku Waku Animal World"), a game in which contestants answered questions related to funny video clips involving animals (accompanied by narration thatanthropomorphized the clips' subjects). Di Bona—who decided to form his eponymous production company following his stint as aline producer on the first season (1985–1986) of the ABC action-adventure seriesMacGyver—partnered with formerCBS News executive Joe Bellon, whose distribution company, Bellon Enterprises (founded after Bellon left CBS in 1985), at the time had been struggling in its efforts to sell the international rights to programming concepts—likeWakuwaku—based on shows originally aired by theTokyo Broadcasting System (TBS). The two soon developed apitch for an American version ofWakuwaku, using the licensed animal footage from the program, eventually selling it to ABC.^[54]

In the spring of 1989, while Di Bona and his then-wife, Gina, attended theMonte-Carlo Television Festival, the latter passed a booth for a distributor showcasing a segment from the TBS variety programKato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV (orFun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan), in which hostsKen Shimura andCha Kato presented and provided comedic narration over a package of funny caught-on-tape moments sent in by viewers; at the end of each show, audience members voted for their favorite clip among those featured. At Gina's insistence, Di Bona contacted TBS about licensing the rights to the concept.^[54][55]

Di Bona, with Bellon's assistance in acquiring the clips from TBS, put together a presentation reel featuring footage from theGokigen TV home video segment; ABC executives, immediately after seeing the reel (Di Bona has claimed in interviews that the network decided to buy the proposed show four minutes into the pitch), decided to place an order for the concept that would becomeAmerica's Funniest Home Videos. However, the network intended for it to be a one-off special, unsure that a program showing other people's home movies would work as a weekly series. Di Bona enlisted most of the staff fromAnimal Crack-Ups—including among others, writerTodd Thicke (whose older brother, actor/host/songwriterAlan Thicke, hostedCrack-Ups in addition to his starring role in the ABC sitcomGrowing Pains), producer Steve Paskay, creative consultant Gina Di Bona, coordinating producers Joe and (his son and business partner) Greg Bellon,^{[note 1]} and directorRon de Moraes—to work on the pilot special. Di Bona also borrowed the comedic narration style used inGokigen TV andWakuwaku, having the host provide voices to both humans and animals featured in the clips as well as exaggerated observational humor.^[55][54]

In the run-up to the special's broadcast, during the fall of 1989, Vin Di Bona Productions took out ads in national magazines (such asTV Guide andPeople) asking people to send in their home videos featuring funny or amazing moments. Around 1,800 tapes were submitted for inclusion in the pilot special.^[57]

John Ritter was Vin Di Bona's first choice to host the program, but was unavailable (according to Di Bona, Ritter did not envision the hosting role as fitting in with his shifting career focus from sitcoms to feature films). Los Angeles sports reporterFred Roggin was also approached to host, but due to his contract negotiations withNBC (and itsO&O stationKNBC), he was unable to accept. (Roggin would eventually host a similar show of his own,Roggin's Heroes, which aired in syndication from 1991 to 1993.) Di Bona then approached actor/comedianBob Saget (then starring as Danny Tanner in the ABC sitcomFull House), whom he remembered from the latter's May 1989 guest appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, impressed by his comedic timing and storytelling during the interview; however, Di Bona was unaware of Saget's existing ABC series role until he was informed by network executives when pitching Saget as host. Saget was initially reluctant to accept, but Di Bona ultimately convinced him to agree to do the gig, believing that it would showcase Saget's general comedic talent, and make him known for that than merely for his role as the cleanliness-obsessed "dorky dad" onFull House.^[58]

The show debuted on November 26, 1989, as an hour-long special,^[59] produced by Di Bona and Steve Paskay, with Saget as host. ActressKellie Martin, then the star of fellow ABC seriesLife Goes On (as Becca Thatcher), which would serve as thelead-in program toAFHV for the latter show's first four seasons, andA Pup Named Scooby-Doo (as the voice ofDaphne Blake), served as a special guest and assisted Saget in hosting two segments during the special, including the announcement of the three grand prize finalists (for the special, the first-place winner was awarded a $5,000 cash prize, while the second and third-place winners each won anRCAcamcorder). Married couple Helen and Bill Wholf ofThompson, Ohio were awarded the show's first grand prize for a clip titled "The Dishwasher Lady," in which Bill discovers Helen had gotten herself stuck inside their dishwasher after her hair became entangled in the machine's spray arm while attempting to retrieve a dropped utensil. The clip, thePanasonic OmniMovie HQ 1FX8-CCD camcorder that Bill Wholf used to record the video, and other artifacts from the series—including an annotated pilot script, an audience voting machine, and a presentation reel created to pitch the proposed special to ABC executives—were donated to theSmithsonian Institution'sNational Museum of American History in 2008.^{[57][60][61][62][63]}

America's Funniest Home Videos became an unexpected hit for ABC: the special's initial broadcast was watched by 32.8 million viewers, roughly double the network's average viewership in the Sunday 8:00 p.m.ET timeslot at the time. Ratings increased over the course of the show, with much of it coming from viewers in theNortheastern andMidwestern U.S. snowed in by a significantblizzard that hit those regions a few days earlier around theThanksgiving holiday. Impressed by the viewer response to the special, ABC decided to turn it into a weekly prime time series and ordered 10 additional half-hour episodes (later increased to 15);^[16][64] it debuted as a regular series on January 14, 1990, serving as areplacement for the recently cancelledfantasy sitcomFree Spirit.^[65] Besides acting as host, Saget also served as a member of its writing staff, alongside Todd Thicke (who stayed with the series until the 2014–15 season, and also served as a producer starting with its eighth season in 1996) and Bob Arnott.

Ernie Anderson, the longtime voice of ABC, was the program's original announcer, althoughCharlie O'Donnell, then known mainly as the announcer forWheel of Fortune, occasionally substituted for him during some Season 1 episodes. Anderson also made an on-camera cameo appearance during the third season's first grand prize episode, originally aired on November 17, 1991 (an excerpt from that episode—featuring Saget prodding Anderson into reciting the signature vocal delivery he used to promoteThe Love Boat—was featured during the March 9, 1997, episode in a brief segment paying tribute to Anderson, who died the previous month fromlung cancer). He was replaced in 1995 by radio and television actorGary Owens, who remained in that role until Saget's departure, although Anderson would briefly return via archived recordings. The show's theme song, "The Funny Things You Do", was performed by co-songwriterJill Colucci (who also sung the themes for ABC's "Something's Happening" and "America's Watching" promotional campaigns between 1987 and 1990) for most of the Saget run; this was replaced midway through Season 8 by afunk rock duet rendition by Peter Hix and Terry Wood. (Colucci would make a cameo appearance during the show's second season to perform the song in the opening segment of the January 6, 1991 episode.) The set used throughout the Saget era was an open floorplanliving room design (originally apapered three-wall design with abay window for the first three seasons, then redesigned for the 1992–93 season as a translucent-walled flatter frame outline utilizing a similar floorplan, though the furniture from the original set remained), with two large video screens on either side of the main set.

Numerous comedy skits were performed on the set during Saget's tenure as host ofAFHV. The opening host segment of each episode was tied in with a skit featured in-between the transition from the opening title sequence and Saget's introduction. This usually consisted of several actors in a fake room (usually in the upper part of the audience section or in another soundstage, the setting within it changing each episode) pretending to get excited to watch the show. Sometimes, Saget would visit, attempt to interact with, and pretend to watch the show with the actors (with a pre-recording of Saget appearing on the TV set). These opening gags were scrapped after the fifth season. In Season 5, the show introduced an animated sidekick named "Stretchy McGillicuddy" (voiced by Danny Mann, and dropped after said season), who regularly teased Saget and did other bizarre things; one episode featured Stretchy—who often uttered the catchphrase, "Don't get a little touchy, Bob, I'm just a little stretchy!", in his appearances—appearing on the two large set monitors and Bob had to turn him off with a remote. Saget ended each episode with thetagline, "Keep those cameras safely rolling", followed by a message to his wife who was implied to be watching the show at home (the latter joke was phased out towards the end of the seventh season, in the midst of Saget's deteriorating marital issues with first wife Sherri Kramer, whom he would divorce in 1997).

The success ofAFHV—which regularly placed in theNielsen Top 5 ratings during its first season (even temporarily unseating theCBS newsmagazine60 Minutes as America's most-watched network television series in March 1990), and finished in fifth place among all network programs for the1989–90 season—quickly led ABC to order apilot for a spin-off:America's Funniest... Part II aired on May 13, 1990 as a half-hour special that was hosted by Saget'sFull House co-star,Dave Coulier (who played Joey Gladstone on the sitcom); as was the case withAFHV following its debut special, ABC immediately picked upAmerica's Funniest... Part II as a weekly series for its1990–91 fall schedule. RetitledAmerica's Funniest People, it debuted as a series on September 9, 1990, with actress/producerArleen Sorkin joining Coulier as co-host. (Sorkin was replaced by modelTawny Kitaen for the show's third and fourth seasons.) The series focused on videos featuring peopleintentionally trying to be funny by doing celebrity impressions, committing pranks, and performing short amateur comedy routines, among other things.^[66]

For its first four seasons,America's Funniest Home Videos aired on Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m.Eastern Time;^[67] when the spin-off premiered in September 1990,AFHV—then entering its second season—was paired withAmerica's Funniest People (following at 8:30 p.m.) to form an hour-long home video block. Beginning with their respective fifth and fourth seasons inSeptember 1993, ABC madeAmerica's Funniest Home Videos andAmerica's Funniest People the lead-off programs of its Sunday prime time lineup, moving them both an hour earlier (to 7:00 and 7:30 p.m., respectively) to replaceLife Goes On, which ended its four-season run that May; this also gave both shows a formidable rival in60 Minutes, which had regularly beaten its 7:00 competitors in the ratings since CBS permanently moved the newsmagazine to Sundays in 1975.^[68] In May 1994, ABC canceledAmerica's Funniest People after four seasons due to declining ratings, and decided to put the freshman sitcomOn Our Own (a co-production ofMiller-Boyett Productions andWarner Bros. Television, both of which were also behind Saget's other series,Full House) in its former timeslot for the1994–95 fall schedule;^[69] afterOn Our Own was put on hiatus that December following an initial run of 13 episodes (it would return as part of the FridayTGIF comedy lineup in March 1995 to complete its abbreviated 20-episode season), the network chose to expandAmerica's Funniest Home Videos to one hour with back-to-back episodes, with that week's new episode occupying the first half-hour, followed by a repeat from a previous season to fill the remaining time.

On February 1, 1996, ABC debuted another spin-off ofAFHV,World's Funniest Videos;^[70] taped atWalt Disney World inLake Buena Vista, Florida, this series—likeAmerica's Funniest People—was also hosted by Coulier, alongside actressEva LaRue (then playing on the ABCsoap operaAll My Children in the role of Dr. Maria Santos). Paired with a weekly version of the popularBefore They Were Stars specials on Thursday nights,World's Funniest Videos focused on funny and amazing home videos from around the world.^[71] However, due to low ratings, ABC put the series on hiatus a few weeks after its debut,^[72] before cancelling it outright after only one season andburning off the remaining episodes that summer. For Saget's final season onAFHV (1996–97), two new episodes aired back-to-back for several weeks over the course of the season, which increased the episode order that year to 30.

Saget himself soon grew tired of the repetitive format and was eager to pursue other projects as a comedian, actor and director. Producer Di Bona held him to his contract, resulting in a frustrated Saget listlessly going through the motions, constantly getting out of character and making pointed remarks on the air during his last two seasons. Saget's contract expired in May 1997 and he decided to leave the show afterward. However, according to Di Bona, the producers felt a change (and change of hosts) was needed forAFV as a result of ABC going through a change of leadership (longtime parent companyCapital Cities/ABC had then recently completed the sale of its assets to current ownerThe Walt Disney Company).^[73][74][75] His formerFull House castmates—except forMary-Kate and Ashley Olsen—appeared for the penultimate episode of Season 8 (airing on May 9, 1997, in a special Friday broadcast as part of ABC's comedy-centered "3D Week" programming stunt),^{[note 2]} preceding Saget's final episode as host, the season-ending $100,000 grand prize episode (aired in its regular slot on May 18). (The two final Saget episodes were rebroadcast on September 21, 1997,^[76] the day before production commenced on Season 9.^[77])

Saget returned toAmerica's Funniest Home Videos on three different occasions—first, to co-host a 20th anniversary special edition episode alongside then-hostTom Bergeron, which aired on November 29, 2009 (which was three days shy ofAFV's actual 20th anniversary date of its premiere on the air on November 26, 1989); a cameo appearance at the end of Bergeron's final episode on May 17, 2015, where he was driving a golf cart and to co-host a 30th anniversary documentary special (AFV: America... This Is You!) alongside Bergeron and current host Ribeiro, which aired on December 8, 2019 (his last appearance prior to his death in early January 2022).

After Saget's departure from the series, ABC sidelinedAmerica's Funniest Home Videos from the network's1997–98 fall schedule; in the late fall of 1997, ABC decided to put the series on its Monday lineup as a replacement for the TV adaptation ofTimecop, which had been pulled from the schedule after five episodes due to persistently poor viewership.^[78] The first two episodes of the ninth season (the seventh and eighth to be taped in production order) aired as a "sneak peek" on November 21, 1997, as part of theTGIF lineup,^[19] before the remainder of the season began airing regularly in the show's new Monday slot on January 5, 1998. This season featured new hosts, an overhauled look (including new full-title and abbreviated logos, which were later modified in Season 15 and partially overhauled in Season 26, and a new set augmented by a balcony-linked, double-flight bent staircase surrounding a large center-stage monitor, ditching the living room set-up used throughout the Saget era), and a newska instrumental rendition of the "Funny Things You Do" theme song composed by Dan Slider^[79] (which remained in use for the 2000–01 specials and the entirety of Bergeron's run as host as well as being featured in Alfonso Ribeiro's 2015 hosting audition tape). The show began to be alternately calledAFV at this point, with references to the abbreviated name being used in most on-air parlance going forward (thoughAmerica's Funniest Home Videos remained the show's official title).

ComedianJohn Fugelsang and model-turned-television personalityDaisy Fuentes took over as co-hosts of the show.^[80][81] Three new writers—among them,Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumniJ. Elvis Weinstein andTrace Beaulieu—joined holdover scribe Thicke (assigned the newly created role of supervising writer) on the writing staff, replacing Saget and Arnott. Like Saget had done during his run in certain videos within clip packages, Fugelsang and Fuentes humorously narrated the clips shown (either observationally or by exaggerating certain circumstances leading to the comedic moment). Owens was succeeded by an unknown announcer, who was subsequently replaced for the tenth season by voice actorJess Harnell, who still holds this position to this day. With ABC reserving the Sunday 7:00 p.m. ET slot forThe Wonderful World of Disney beginning that season (ironically putting the anthology series—which returned to broadcast television after a six-year run on theDisney Channel—directly againstFox's newAFV-inspired seriesThe World's Funniest!),^[82] the show changed timeslots several times over the next two seasons: after leading off ABC's Monday night lineup (at 8:00 p.m. ET) for Season 9,^[83] the network movedAFV to Saturday nights at the start of Season 10 (1998–99);^[84] the show was later moved to Thursday nights in March 1999, opposite the first hour of NBC's "Must See TV" comedy lineup and airing directly against the top-ratedFriends.^[85] Alongside the 26 episodes picked up for Season 9, ten other episodes were produced with no contest winners and recycled clips from Season 8 with new John/Daisy voiceovers. They would sporadically air paired with other episodes back-to-back; the last to air premiered alongside the Season 10 premiere in October 1998. The ten episodes have never aired in reruns in syndication, and only two of the ten episodes are known to have rerun on ABC.

Ratings for the show suffered during this period, due to both less-than-satisfactory reception to the new hosts and changes to the show's format as well as the timeslot changes. Both Fuentes and Fugelsang left the show after two seasons in 1999. Their last original new episode—which aired on August 28, after a four-month delay (Season 10's penultimate first-run episode had aired on May 15^[86])—was taped at theHouse of Blues inWest Hollywood, California. Until the 2019 specialAFV: America... This Is You!, showcasing footage from the tenures of the other AFV hosts, the only honorable mention of Fugelsang and Fuentes and segments showcasing their run was the two-part 300th episodeAFV special in November 2003 (during the early years of the Bergeron run). While Fugelsang has not been seen in new recent never-before-seen footage on the road or in-studio onAFV since his and Fuentes' departure, Fuentes was featured in interview segments discussing their time on the show forAmerica... This Is You!, while both Fugelsang and Fuentes conducted further interviews for theAmerica... This Is You! podcast.

In May 1999, ABC announced that it would discontinueAmerica's Funniest Home Videos as a regular weekly series after its tenth season,^[87] but allowed the format to continue as a series of thematic specials hosted by various personalities, including ABC sitcom starsD. L. Hughley (ofThe Hughleys) andRichard Kind (ofSpin City), and futureAFV hostTom Bergeron. Concurrently, Vin di Bona Productions produced a season intended for selected international markets, withKerri andMike Kasem (both children of legendary radio DJ and voice actorCasey Kasem) as hosts.^[88] The show moved to a much smallersoundstage on a set that featured various video screens and monitors (resemblingiMac computers) placed on shelves.

A home video-exclusive special,America's Funniest Home Videos: Deluxe Uncensored, was released onVHS andDVD in July 1999; hosted bySteve Carell and taped on the set used for the ninth and tenth seasons of the original series run, it featured somewhat more risqué content than that allowed on the television broadcasts (in a format similar to the 2019Videos After Dark specials). A sports-themed special,AFV: The Sports Edition, hosted byESPN anchorStuart Scott, would later air on ABC in 2006 and was rebroadcast everyNew Year's Day along with occasional broadcasts beforeNBA playoff games (with a post 8:30 p.m. ET) tip-off until 2008. These specials (except for the special sports edition) were not taped in front of a live studio audience, with pre-recorded applause and laugh tracks were used during commercial bumpers and just before, during, and after video packages being used instead.

In October 2000, ABC announced thatAmerica's Funniest Home Videos would return as a regular weekly series, ordering an eleventh season consisting of 13 episodes.^[89] On February 3, 2001,^[29] the show returned in its third format, this time with Bergeron (who was also hosting the syndicatedHollywood Squares at the time) serving as host. Episodes were expanded to a full hour (instead of the back-to-back half-hour episodic structure used from 1995 to 1999), and aired on Friday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET; however, it went on hiatus for two months during the2001-02 season due in part to theSeptember 11 attacks and also because of ABC's decision to fill the Friday lineup with specials and a new, but short-lived lineup of reality and drama series (The Mole II: The Next Betrayal,Thieves andOnce and Again, of whichThieves was cancelled after only ten episodes, the first eight of which aired);AFV returned to the schedule (via reruns of the previous season) in December 2001, and began its twelfth season as a midseason replacement in February 2002. A new set (with a studio audience) was introduced—featuring a pillar with several monitors—when Bergeron's first season began.

With ABC movingThe Wonderful World of Disney to Saturdays for the2003-04 season, in September 2003, the show returned to its former Sunday 7:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot, still in its hour-long format (though special episodes occasionally aired on Friday nights until 2007). Unlike Saget, who provided voice-overs to the clips, Bergeron humorously narrated them, though he did lend comedic voiceovers similar to Saget's style to some clips from time to time during the eleventh season. Changes to the set for that season included the replacement of the round video wall by a curved video wall, the pillars being recolored to blue (sometimes other colors), the addition of curved light borders hanging through the set, and lights under the center stage with return of the abbreviated "AFV" logo.

For Season 18 (2007–08), the series began allowing viewers to upload their video submissions online at ABC.com; it would later direct viewers to submit their videos to a new standalone website, AFV.com, beginning with Season 23 (2012–13), in addition to the existing practice of submitting videos via standard mail.^[90] In Season 22 (2011–12),AFV released aniOS app on theApp Store, allowingApple mobile device users to record and directly upload videos for submission to the show; a version forAndroid devices was released the following season.

The final six seasons of Bergeron's run as host fell during two major milestones in the series' history. In2009, in commemoration of its 20th season, the show started its "Funny Since 1989" campaign and broadcast a special 20th anniversary episode on November 29, featuring a guest appearance by Saget in his return toAFV for the first time since his 1997 departure. Both Saget and Bergeron ended that episode with a pinata party skit and a nod to theStar Wars lightsaber fight scenes during the closing credits (Disney, owner of show co-producer ABC Entertainment and its namesake network, would coincidentally later acquire the franchise through its 2011 purchase ofLucasfilm), with the design of the pinatas resembling the two hosts.

On March 7, 2014, Bergeron announced on hisTwitter account that he would step down as host ofAFV at the conclusion of its 25th season.^[91] The series commemorated its silver anniversary for its2014–15 season, and broadcast a 25th Anniversary Celebrity Celebration special on February 15, 2015, in which Bergeron and ABC sitcom starsAnthony Anderson,Tracee Ellis Ross (both co-leads ofBlack-ish) andCristela Alonzo (ofCristela) recounted memorable videos from the show's history, with one of three nominees from the pool being awarded aDisney Cruise Line vacation grand prize. Bergeron's penultimate episode (the last episode he hosted from the show's soundstage and the final (and season 25's second) $100,000 show of his tenure) aired on May 10, 2015, incorporating periodic montages of funny home videos that defined the show's then-25-year run. His final episode as host, which was also the 25th season finale, aired the following week on May 17; taped on-location atDisneyland for that season's edition of the annual "Grand Prize Spectacular" (which utilized various formats since 2005, and featured one of the two (formerly three) $100,000 winners from the current season winning aWalt Disney Parks and Resorts, or in earlier seasons, anAdventures by Disney vacation package),AFV's 25th anniversary and the Disneyland Resort's 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration (which began on May 22, 2015) featured anauto-tuned montage of clips and outtakes from Bergeron's run as host and closed with him being escorted after walking off the outdoor stage nearSleeping Beauty Castle following the grand prize presentation on a golf cart driven by Saget in a specialcameo appearance. (Bergeron's 15-year run is the longest hosting tenure for the series to date.)

Bergeron would later make an in-studio guest appearance alongside his successor, Alfonso Ribeiro, in the Season 26 "Grand Prize Spectacular" finale (aired on May 22, 2016), in which he played the show's final audience participation game segment ("Who Breaks It?") and won an RibieroAFV pillow and socks. He was featured alongside fellow hosts Ribeiro, Saget and Fuentes in the 2019 specialAFV: America...This Is You!.^[92][93]

On May 19, 2015, two days after Bergeron's final episode aired, ABC announced thatAlfonso Ribeiro (known for his role asCarlton Banks onThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) would take over as host ofAmerica's Funniest Home Videos starting with its26th season (premiering on October 11 of that year). Bergeron formally introduced Ribeiro's new role as host during the latter's guest performance on the20th season finale ofDancing with the Stars. (Ribeiro competed during and won theprevious season; coincidentally, as Bergeron had done from the dance competition series' 2005 debut until his 2015 departure fromAFV, Ribeiro would later begin co-hostingDWTS, in addition to his existingAFV duties, in2022.)^[94][92][95] Prior to becoming host, Ribeiro appeared on the show's March 8, 2015 episode playing an audience participation game (called "Who's Makin' That Racket?") alongside then-host Bergeron.

Ribeiro continued Bergeron's concept of humorously narrating clips, sometimes making extensive use of rhymes in his voiceovers. While some of the Bergeron-era clip segments, the in-studio audience and background parts of the Bergeron-era set props remained intact and/or continued into the first five years of Ribeiro's hosting tenure, the stage was updated to feature a metal floor layout and stairway connected to a puzzle-style cube screen composed of smaller sized flat-panel TV screens, while new segments (developed especially for Ribiero's run) were incorporated into the show. Audience participation games introduced during the Bergeron era were eliminated for the 27th season (2016–17). Additional set props such as arrow-styled flat-panel monitors and lit color-changing tables (where selected audience members not assigned to the bleacher areas sit) were added to theAFV set in 2019.

For its28th season (premiering on October 8, 2017),AFV was displaced from its longtime 7:00 p.m. ET slot to make room for the reality competition seriesThe Toy Box (which was in its second and final season), resulting in the former being moved to 8:00 p.m. ET. Periodically over the course of three months (between November 26, 2017 and February 4, 2018), the show employed a "repeat/new" episode scheduling format similar to that employed during the later Saget and Fugelsang/Fuentes eras, with new episodes in the 7:00 p.m. hour (occasionally reduced to a single hour block due to holiday movie presentations and specials airing in 8:00 p.m. slot during the holiday season), before permanently returning to the earlier slot on February 11, 2018. On October 29, 2018, ABC renewedAFV for two more seasons, extending the series for its 30th and 31st seasons (premiering on September 29, 2019 and October 18, 2020, respectively). On December 8, 2019 (following a new episode in its regular slot), ABC broadcastAFV: America, This is You!, a retrospective documentary commemoratingAFV's 30th anniversary; the special featured appearances by creator/executive producer Vin di Bona and four of the five hosts—Ribeiro, Saget (in his finalAFV appearance before his death in January 2022), Fuentes and Bergeron—and chronicled the show's development and pop culture status.^[96]

Production was suspended before the completion of the30th season due to theCOVID-19 pandemic; in lieu of its standard "grand prize" season finale format, a quarantine themed special,AFV@Home, aired on May 17, 2020; similar in concept to CBS'sAFV-styledThe Greatest AtHome Videos (which aired its initial special two days prior) and incorporating hosted segments recorded at Ribeiro's Los Angeles home, the special featured humorous videos submitted to the program and culled from various social media platforms that were filmed mainly duringstay-at-home isolation.^[97][98][99] The series returned to the studio for its31st season (which premiered on October 18, 2020), however, studio segments utilized a virtual audience—a concept first used for the last three episodes of season 30 prior to the in-studio production shutdown—to comply with federalsocial distancing guidelines, consisting of audience members appearing and interviews with the grand prize nominees being conducted viavideotelephony on the various set monitors.^[100][101] On June 11, 2021, the fourth offshoot of the franchise,America's Funniest Home Videos: Animal Edition, premiered onNat Geo Wild (which ABC acquired through its2019 purchase of most of21st Century Fox's assets).

On January 9, 2022, during the32nd season (which premiered on October 3, 2021),^[102][103] original host Bob Saget was found dead in his room at aRitz Carlton hotel nearWilliamsburg, Florida, a day after his stand-up comedy performance in nearbyOrlando. (Saget's death was announced during anABC News special report that interrupted the end of a new episode airing that night.) The show paid tribute to him in the January 16, 2022 episode, which opened with a dedication to Saget by Alfonso Ribeiro, clips of Saget's tenure as host, and a brief discussion between him and Bergeron from the 2009 20th anniversary special, along with a standard pre-credits dedication;^[104] a tribute segment featuring clips from the Saget era was featured in subsequent episodes for the remainder of Season 32. After two years of using a virtual audience, the33rd season (which debuted on October 2, 2022) returned to using an in-person studio audience, although nominees for the weekly grand prize contest would continue to appear via remote; the cash amounts for the videos selected for the weekly prize contest were also increased for the first time sinceAFV's series debut, doubling the first place prize to $20,000 (from $10,000), second place to $6,000 (from $3,000), and third place to $4,000 (from $2,000).^[105] ForSeason 34, in addition to standard hour-long episodes in the show's regular timeslot, ABC aired edited half-hour versions ofAFV episodes from the previous season on selected Sundays during the early fall to fill airtime followingWonderful World of Disney film presentations scheduled to end prior to the conclusion of the network's Sunday lineup. (Although Ribeiro is a SAG-AFTRA member—being exempted from the strike under the separate Network Television Code contract—and co-executive producer/head writer Mike Palleschi and co-writer Erik Lohla are WGA members, the series was not affected by theSAG-AFTRA andWriters Guild of America strikes, the latter having ended four days before Season 34's October 1, 2023 premiere.)

After every half of the season, the winners from the preceding episodes are brought back to participate in a contest to win an additional $100,000 in the semifinals. (Previously, there would be three $100,000 shows per season, after runs of shows consisting of either 5, 6, or 7 episodes. Beginning with the 24th season, the format changed to two $100,000 shows, each one after a 9-or-10-episode run. This format was also used in season 9, as well as seasons 12–14.) Two $100,000 contests air each season (the final $100,000 episode originally aired as the season finale until the 15th season, at which point it begin airing as the episode before each season's final episode), though only one aired in the first and eleventh season. This format was used until 2002. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 season did not feature the traditional confetti, streamers, or live audience (although the virtual audience is shown instead; however a small amount of the live audience, now sitting in tables and not voting for the winner, and finalists standing up on the stage in a rock stone and gate, returned in Season 33), and the winner was chosen by remote video chat (the top three $20,000 winners in the $100,000 show, and the two $100,000 winners in the Grand Prize Spectacular are allowed to appear on stage in Season 33).^[6]

• 1989–1997 (Saget era): ABC stations (5 in season one, 3 from 1989 to 1993, and 2 from 1993 onward) around the country are joined via satellite to cast their votes along with the Los Angeles studio audience (the final $100,000 show of season two was decided by a telephone vote).
• 1997–present (post-Saget era): Three formats have been used at various times:

1. The Los Angeles studio audience votes to determine the winner.
2. Viewers log onto the show's website to cast their votes.
3. The show declares the winner by going to the Disney Parks and asking park-goers, as well inviting characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy, to determine the $100,000 or the grand prize winning clip.^[6]

Beginning in Season 15, at the end of each season, the $100,000 winners from the preceding episodes are brought back to participate in a grand prize contest in the grand finals to determine which video earns the title of "America's Funniest Home Video", serving as the season finale (except in Seasons 16 and 20, in which it is the episode before the finale). Starting in Season 17, it became known as the "Grand Prize Spectacular".

America's Funniest Home Videos became an instant hit with audiences, with the original special in November 1989 averaging a 17.7 rating and 25 share, finishing at ninth place in the Nielsen ratings that week. When it debuted as a weekly Sunday night series in January 1990, the show averaged an 18.0 rating/27 share, finishing at 16th place.^[107] It placed within Nielsen's Top 5 highest-rated weekly series within weeks of its debut;^[64] by March 1990,AFHV became the No. 1 primetime series for a short time.AFHV finished the 1989–90 season in the Top 10 most watched shows, with an approximate average of 38 million viewers^[108] for each episode.AFHV finished the 2009–10 season in 55th place, with an approximate average of 7.52 million viewers, and finished in 69th in viewers 18–49, with 2.0/6.^[109] In 2016, a study byThe New York Times of the 50 TV shows with the mostFacebook Likes found that "if you could pick a safe show that appeals to almost everyone, this might be it".^[110]

Beginning with the show's 21st-season premiere on October 3, 2010,^[111]America's Funniest Home Videos began broadcasting inhigh definition. Many viewer-submitted videos were recorded instandard definition and were subsequentlystretched horizontally to fit16:9 screens. Since the 2012–13 season, videos recorded in 4:3 standard definition are carried in their original format with sidepillarboxing. This continued to be the case for videos recorded on mobile devices recorded at avertical angle. Since the conversion to HD, the series features advisories to viewers to tilt their mobile devices horizontally when recording in order for clip submissions to fit 16:9 screens without reformatting.

In 2014, all Tom Bergeron era episodes of the show originally produced in standard definition were remastered for widescreen and high definition broadcast compatibility, which involved cropping and stretching, with certain parts, such as theend credits switching to its original 4:3 aspect ratio after the first few seconds, andproduction logos, remaining in its original 4:3 aspect ratio. Video clips recorded in standard definition and airing since the show began broadcasting in high definition are also reformatted and stretched for widescreen compatibility. The same happened for the Bob Saget episodes in 2025, albeit done more tastefully. These new versions use the original 1995/1998 syndication prints as their basis.^[112] Despite that, several episodes are skipped.

Repeats of the show began airing in broadcast syndication on September 11, 1995.

The initial off-network syndication package consisted of the entirety of seasons 1-5, and the first 12 episodes of season 6, and was distributed byMTM Enterprises. This package aired on various local channels,TBS from October 2, 1995 – 1998, andUSA Network from 1998 to 2001.20th Television then assumed syndication rights from their purchase of MTM Enterprises in 1997, and continued on with the initial package, and issuing a new package with the remainder of seasons 6 through 8, which most local stations ran into September 2001.Hallmark Channel notably aired both packages from August 5, 2001 to 2002, and various other channels carried the new package as well, but most stuck to the initial 5 1/2 season deal. Seasons 6–8 aired on ABC Family (nowFreeform) from January 2002 to October 2007, usually on Tuesday through Saturday mornings, and occasionally on Sunday nights if a movie was not shown, being the last to air said seasons. After 2001,Buena Vista Television began distributing the show, and with it came two revamped packages: seasons 1-5 and 6-8. The first 5 seasons aired among networks such as PAX TV (nowIon Television) every Monday through Thursday night (later Monday through Friday night) from October 6, 2003 to April 11, 2005,^[113] andNick at Nite for a short time from April 30 to October 12, 2007.^[114] The Saget era continued in local syndication for some time, finally ending up again on Hallmark Channel beginning on January 4, 2010. They were due to air all 8 seasons of the Saget run, but due to constantly changing timeslots, they never got past the tail end of season 5.^[115] The Saget era originally ceased its syndication run on February 25, 2010.

Internationally, all 8 seasons aired onDTV in Russia,TVB Pearl in Hong Kong,Omni 2^[116][117] in Canada and the 5 season package aired on other Canadian networks includingSun TV,^[118]Omni British Columbia^[119] andTVTropolis.^[120]

The John and Daisy seasons (seasons 9-10) aired on WGN America (nowNewsNation) from 2006 to 2014. The guest specials from the 1999-2001 period are known to have been syndicated on WGN as well. Both eras were never offered in off-network syndication, and the foreign market Kasem season was not syndicated abroad. Internationally, all 3 eras aired on various networks, including the Kasem season on TVNorge, and the John/Daisy seasons on DTV in Russia.

The Tom Bergeron seasons began airing on both WGN and ABC Family in fall 2004, with seasons 15-19 gradually being added to syndication as they completed their original runs on ABC. WGN continuing its run until 2018, and ABC Family replacing the Saget run with the Bergeron run in October 2007, airing it until 2014 on Tuesday through Saturday mornings, and occasionally on Sunday nights if a movie was not shown.

Disney-ABC Domestic Television (the successor of Buena Vista Television) began offering seasons 11-19 in off-network syndication in 2009, airing on selectFox,MyNetworkTV,The CW,The CW Plus, and variousindependent stations until 2013. Various local stations replaced the Saget run with this run as well. In 2014, after the introduction of the widescreen remasters, a new packaged was introduced, with all 15 seasons of the Bergeron run. WGN aired seasons 11-19 from this package, TBS began reairing the show with seasons 18-23 and 25 from 2014–2017, andUp TV then picked up seasons 20-25 in 2016, with its last airing on December 31, 2019.Roar (formerly TBD) started airing this run on November 1, 2025 and began airing weekdays on November 3, starting with season 13. Around the same time, the Bergeron era began airing on a FAST streaming channel called "AFV Classics," along with the Saget era.^[121]

Internationally, hour long episodes in the USA and Canada are split into two half hour parts, with a new opener and closing taped for each part. All references to the show being an hour long are also edited out. This practice continues into the Ribeiro years. This era has aired among networks such as RTL Klub in Hungary, TVB Pearl in Hong Kong, DTV in Russia, and it currently airs on PRVA Plus in Serbia, along with the Ribeiro era. In Canada, seasons 11–25 aired onABC Spark,^[122]CMT,^[123]DejaView,^[124]YTV^[125] andYes TV^[126] in some capacity until 2022. Since September 16, 2023, reruns of seasons 11-18 are now being shown onGameTV.

The Alfonso Ribeiro seasons (seasons 26–31) began airing onTeenNick on September 12, 2022, and finished airing in April 2023. The series returned to its schedule on November 20, 2023. The series returned toNick at Nite on February 13, 2024, starting with season 31. The Ribeiro seasons began airing onOprah Winfrey Network on September 29, 2025, with newer seasons than TeenNick. This era aired internationally on TVB Pearl, and currently airs onPrva Plus in Serbia, along with the Bergeron years. It will return tobroadcast syndication in fall 2026, marking the first time since 2014.^[127]

Since September 2022,Disney+ has had a three season rotation of the show, with three newer seasons replacing the previous three every January and July.

ABC,Shout! Factory, and Slingshot Entertainment have released numerous compilation releases ofAmerica's Funniest Home Videos on VHS and DVD in Region 1 (North America).
