The most common videos feature unintentional physical comedy (arising from incidents, accidents, and mishaps), pets or children, and some staged practical jokes. Originally airing as a special on November 26, 1989, it debuted as a regular weekly series on January 14, 1990. Initially, it was hosted by Bob Saget for the 1989 special and the first eight seasons of the series incarnation, then by John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes for its ninth and tenth seasons. After two years of being shown as occasional specials, hosted by various actors and comedians such as D.L. Hughley and Richard Kind, ABC brought the series back on Friday nights in the summer of 2001 with new host Tom Bergeron, who has since become the series' longest-serving host. Before the show was renewed for a 25th season in May 2014, Bergeron announced in March 2014 that he would be departing as host of the show after that season concluded. On May 7, 2015, ABC renewed the series for a 26th season; Alfonso Ribeiro took over as host beginning with that season. ==Premise== Executive produced by Vin Di Bona, Todd Thicke and Michele Nasraway,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://afv.com/about/about-the-show/ )〕 it is the longest-running primetime entertainment program on ABC (both on the network's current schedule and dating back to ABC's incorporation as a television network in 1948). It is based on the Tokyo Broadcasting System program ''Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan'', which featured a segment in which viewers were invited to send in video clips from their home movies; ABC, which owns half of the program, pays a royalty fee to the Tokyo Broadcasting System for the use of the format.〔(Littleton, Cynthia. "Putting the fun in 'Home Videos'; Vincent John Di Bona, executive producer of television program ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' ), ''Broadcasting & Cable,'' May 20, 1996. Retrieved March 7, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 A more similar concept in that a whole 30-to-45-minute show consisted of nothing but short clips from amateur home videos with slapstick-like accidents presented by a host began broadcasting only two months after the start of ''Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan'' in Japan, under the title ''Pleiten, Pech und Pannen'' (lit., "Crashes, bad luck, and slip ups") in Germany in March 1986, that program lasted until 2003. Contestants can either send their videos in by uploading them onto the show's official website, AFV.com, which launched in 2012. From 2008 to 2012, viewers were able to upload their videos to ABC's website, ABC.com; after the separate website for the program went online, users trying to access the ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' page on ABC's website – via the show page link on the site's program menu – are now automatically redirected to AFV.com and forwarded to the clip uploading process on that site. Videos could also be sent via conventional mail on VHS, and later as the format started to become common for home recording use in the early 2000s, DVD to a Hollywood, California post-office box address; this method was discontinued beginning with the 26th season, due to the now commonplace method of video uploading through digital means. Due to its very low cost and universal appeal, the format has since been reproduced around the world and AFV-inspired television specials and series continue to emerge periodically in the United States. American television series inspired by ''AFV''s format that are not related to the series itself include ''The Planet's Funniest Animals'', ''The World's Funniest!'', ''The World's Funniest Moments'', ''Funniest Pets & People'' and ''It Only Hurts When I Laugh''; however, most of the series inspired by ''AFV'' (with the minor exception of ''The Planet's Funniest Animals'') have not matched the success of ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' and have not lasted as long. Several local television stations, even those not affiliated with ABC, also developed special funny home video segments in their newscasts during the early 1990s, inspired by the series.〔(Scott Williams. "Local TV getting into 'Funniest Videos' act" ), ''Chicago Sun-Times'', April 26, 1990. Retrieved March 8, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 The majority of the video clips are short (5–30 seconds) and are mostly related to the host's monologues. Videos typically feature people and animals getting into humorous accidents caught 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 genius toddlers with the ability to name all past U.S. Presidents), and practical jokes. A group of screeners view the submitted tapes, giving them a grade (on a scale of 1–10) based on that particular tape's humor. The videos deemed the funniest by the screeners then go on to the show's producers and then is turned over to Di Bona and another producer for final approval.〔(Susan Bickelhaupt, Globe Staff. "'Funniest Home Videos' Outstrips '60 Minutes'." ), ''The Boston Globe'', February 28, 1990. Retrieved March 7, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 Home video material that involves staged accidents, or/and adults, children, or babies getting seriously injured or the abuse of animals are generally not accepted and will not appear on the show.〔(Ernest Tucker. "Saget aims to clip hurtful video bits" ), ''Chicago Sun-Times'', April 27, 1990. Retrieved March 7, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 Every week, three of the videos seen (which are among those included in the episode) are chosen by the producers and voted on by the studio audience. The winner wins $10,000 and is in the running for the $100,000 prize at the end of a seven- or ten-show run, while the runner-up receives $3,000 and the third place video receives $2,000. Very early in the show's run, the second and third prizes respectively were a new TV set and VCR and a new camcorder. On the initial hour-long special, the grand prize was $5,000 with second and third places winning a new camcorder; the producer picked the winner, with no audience voting. Periodically beginning with the Tom Bergeron run of the series, the grand prize winner at each season's final $100,000 contest will also win a free vacation package, supplied by either Adventures by Disney or Disney Vacation Club, in addition to the monetary prize. 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); audience members are asked to dress in "business casual or nicer". Show creator Vin Di Bona has produced two similar programs: ''America's Funniest People'' (1990–94) and ''World's Funniest Videos'' (1996). Di Bona also created two series featuring home videos that were largely culled from those seen on ''AFHV'' and ''America's Funniest People'': the syndicated series ''That's Funny'' (2004–06)〔(Dempsey, John. "Di Bona's 'Funny' will get gags gig" ), ''Daily Variety,'' January 23, 2004. Retrieved March 7, 2011 from HighBeam Research.〕 and the Fox Family Channel series ''Show Me The Funny'' (1998–2000). Many of the clips have been used internationally in various comedy compilation programs, with changes such as dubbing and subtitling. The title of the show is usually changed and the studio segments are omitted. 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 of Vin Di Bona Productions, ABC, Inc., its corporate parent The Walt Disney Company and their related subsidiaries are ineligible for the show's contests and prizes. On October 3, 2010, beginning with the season 21 premiere, ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' began broadcasting in high definition. Many of the videos, which are largely shot using standard definition camcorders, began to be stretched horizontally to fit 16:9 screens. However, since the 2012–13 season, videos shot in 4:3 standard definition began to be pillarboxed (particularly videos that are recorded on mobile devices that are shot at a vertical angle that would not even fit the 4:3 safe area of many television sets entirely; since the conversion to HD, the series has featured advisories to viewers to tilt their mobile devices horizontally to when recording in order for their videos to fit 16:9 screens). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「America's Funniest Home Videos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
