TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes is an American television series. Debuting as a weekly series, new episodes have been broadcast as infrequent specials during most of its run. It premiered on NBC in 1984, moved to ABC in 1998, and was revived in syndication in 2012. The NBC run of the series was co-produced by Carson Productions and Dick Clark Productions, and the ABC and syndication runs have been produced solely by Dick Clark Productions. The series was predated by two separate series of specials, one devoted to television and film bloopers—humorous errors made during the production of film and television programs, or on live news broadcasts—and the other a series of specials featuring classic television commercials. The TV's Censored Bloopers specials were hosted by longtime TV producer Dick Clark starting on May 15, 1981 (and were dedicated to 1950s TV producer Kermit Schaefer, who had pioneered the concept of preserving bloopers), and the Television's Greatest Commercials specials, which started on May 25, 1982, were hosted by Ed McMahon (which he continued to co-host even as he moved on to co-host the weekly Bloopers series). Both sets of specials garnered high ratings, and following a combination special (TV's Greatest Censored Commercial Bloopers), in the winter of 1984 it was decided to combine the two programs into one series, hosted by Clark and McMahon. Charlie O'Donnell (who was also Clark's announcer on American Bandstand from 1958 to 1968) would be added as announcer (to intro both McMahon and Clark, and to announce bloopers in the "Coming up next" bumpers). In 1986 the weekly series ended but it continued as specials. When the practical jokes were dropped, the specials took on the name "TV's Censored Bloopers" and later simply just "Bloopers". In 1998 it did briefly return to a weekly series co-hosted by Suzanne Whang. Specials would be aired on nights the other networks had reruns which gave the specials high viewership. They also moved to ABC that year. After Clark's stroke, John O'Hurley would host the last few specials. The last aired in 2007. A brief syndicated revival launched in 2012 that focused on web content and was hosted by Dean Cain.
