Candid Camera

About the Show

Candid Camera has been a favorite in American homes since it began as a radio program back in 1947! “Candid Camera” is one of the longest-running and most successful franchises in the history of broadcasting, first appearing more than 50 years ago as a radio program called “Candid Microphone” that debuted in 1947 with Allen Funt, the creator and original host.

The program appeared on network television schedules as early as 1948, and enjoyed highly successful runs from 1960 to 1967 and again from 1997 to 2000. Peter Funt, son of original host and creator of “Candid Camera” Allen Funt, and his co-host Dina Eastwood, handle the hosting duties as ordinary people suddenly find themselves on “Candid Camera.”
