August 17, 1997 – January 30, 2000
The World's Funniest! is an American reality show that aired on Fox in 1997. Hosted by James Brown and announced by Mark Thompson, the show had a format similar to ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos. It featured funny clips from TV shows, bloopers, and humorous TV commercials. Unlike AFHV, there was no contest element, and viewer-submitted videos were not rewarded with prizes. The show was hosted without a studio audience, with laughter backing during clips provided via a laugh track.
The series aired on Fox until 2000 and was generally scheduled on Sunday nights at 7 PM ET, or after NFL football on the East Coast during the football season, allowing for easy joining in progress without much consequence to viewers.
The World's Funniest! was based on a series of specials on Fox titled Oops! The World's Funniest Outtakes. It is unrelated, outside of sharing a title and concept, to the later Fox series * World's Funniest (formerly known as World's Funniest Fails), produced by Dick Clark Productions.
Storyline
This was another spinoff of America's Funniest Home Videos, but it was hosted by famous FOX sportscaster, James Brown.
