What happens

America's Funniest Home Videos, also called America's Funniest Videos (AFV), is an American video clip television series on ABC, based on a recurring segment on the Japanese variety show Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan (1986–1992). The show features humorous home videos that are submitted by viewers. The most common videos feature unintentional physical comedy, pets or children and some staged pranks. Originally airing as a special in 1989, it debuted as a regular weekly series in January 1990. The show was originally hosted by comedian Bob Saget for the 1989 special and the first eight seasons of the series incarnation. After Saget stepped down as host in 1997, John Fugelsang and Daisy 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 as D. L. Hughley, Richard Kind, Stuart Scott and Steve Carell, with Mike Kasem and Kerri Kasem hosting international versions), ABC brought the series back on Friday nights in 2001 with Tom Bergeron taking over hosting duties; Bergeron is the longest-running host in the show's history to date, staying on AFV for fifteen seasons until he stepped down in 2015. Alfonso Ribeiro has hosted the program since 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
