What happens

Totally Hidden Video is an American hidden-camera television show and game show that aired from 1989 to 1992. It was one of the early shows in the history of the Fox television network and held the highest viewing share for any Fox program at one point. It was produced by Quantum Media and Fox. The show premiered on Sunday, July 9, 1989. Steve Skrovan was the program's first host, later replaced by Mark Pitta in 1991. Shortly after its debut, a game segment called Totally Homemade Videos was added to the show. In this segment, contestants sent in their funny videos to win a $10,000 prize, the winners of which were announced by Skrovan at the end of every episode - very similar to the format used by rival series America's Funniest Home Videos.
