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.
