Even as technology caught up to ABC’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” the 30-year-old clip show found a way to co-exist with online viral videos. “We’ve worked with YouTube and Snapchat and other…
” has been a showcase for funny videos — guys getting hit in their groins, wigs falling off, pranks caught on tape, pets getting into mischief — with each episode’s most-liked videos, as judged by the show’s studio audience, winning cash prizes.
“I really couldn’t believe they were sitting on this gold mine of viral video and not exploiting it,” Black says. Nasraway says the TV show has adapted to the pace of short-form content, as well, by cutting videos much shorter than they did in the early years of the show. “People are used to seeing things happen very quickly,” she says. “As a result we use more videos per episode.”
“I think what they found was a fallow period when Bob left,” says Rob Mills, ABC senior vice president of alternative series, specials and late night. “It left huge shoes to fill because he’s a comedy icon. They went in a different way by having more straight-down-the-middle hosts in John and Daisy. When Tom came in, he was a funny, warm presence, which is also what [current host] Alfonso [Ribeiro] is.
