Alfonso Ribeiro has been hosting ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos TV show for a couple of seasons, now. And while the ratings haven’t soared, they also haven’t fallen sharply enough to get it cancelled. Since an unscripted program like this costs less to produce than a sitcom or drama, how low can this series’ Nielsen numbers go? Will America’s Funniest Home Videos be cancelled or renewed for season 29? Stay tuned.
Executive produced by Vin Di Bona and Michele Nasraway, America’s Funniest Home Videos is ABC‘s longest running primetime entertainment show. Previous hosts include Tom Bergeron, D.L. Hughley and Richard Kind, John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes, and the original host, Bob Saget. Regular people submit amateur videos featuring their boo boos and blunders to the competition, in hopes the studio audience will award them cash and other prizes. **Status update, below.
