Season 1

Candid Camera is an American hidden camera reality television series created and produced by Allen Funt which initially began on radio as Candid Microphone June 28, 1947. After a series of theatrical film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone, Funt's concept came to television on August 10, 1948.

The show involved concealed cameras filming ordinary people being confronted with unusual situations. When the joke was revealed, victims would be told the show's catch phrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."

The series aired in various forms from 1948 to 2004. This show page covers the run of the show from 1998-2004.

Candid Camera premiered on DStv's M-Net Series channel on Saturday 19 June 2010, at 22h30. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

Synopsis

Candid Camera is a comedy show that contains hilarious footage of people caught on camera unaware. The show appeals to everyone with a funny bone.

Laugh along as Candid Camera takes viewers behind-the-scenes on its practical jokes which range from the hilarious to downright insane as ordinary people get spoofed.

Original host Allen Funt's son, Peter Funt, takes over as the host of this program featuring ordinary people being filmed in unusual situations.

Typical gags included malfunctioning gadgets, disappearing objects, and strangers making very unsual requests.
