Smile...Your On Candid Camera

Happy Birthday Candid Camera which debuted on television in 1948.

Baby Boomers like me remember Candid Camera with Allen Funt. How many times did people say, "You won't catch me doing anything like that!" And they did and it was hilarious!

For those that never had the opportunity to see the show the premise of the show involved concealed cameras filming ordinary people being confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props, such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would be told the show's famous catch phrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."
