America's Funniest Home Videos is ABC's longest-running comedy series. Every episode features dozens of home videos sent in by viewers, with the show's current host humorously narrating or voicing them over. The show began with original host Bob Saget as a one-off special in 1989, becoming a regular series in 1990. The series was an instant sensation on Sunday nights and ran for seven successful seasons. The show was re-launched with new hosts John Fugelsang (a stand up comedian with a one man show called Junk Male) & Daisy Fuentes (Loving), and moved to Monday nights where it would once again become a ratings success and then aired on Saturday. Then, after several years of being shown as an occasional special hosted by D.L. Hughley (The Hughleys) and Richard Kind (Spin City), ABC brought the series back on Friday nights with new host Tom Bergeron (Hollywood Squares) this time in an hour-long format. In September 2003, it was moved back to Sunday nights. Tom left in 2015 and was replaced by Alfonso Ribiero (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air). On this show First Prize is $10,000 and second is $3,000 and $2,000 for third also there is a $100,000 grand prize show every so often where the $10,000 winners compete for $100,000.
