People Are Funny is an American radio and television game show, created by John Guedel that ran from 1942 to 1960 in which contestants were asked to carry out stunts in order to prove that "People Are Funny." Many stunts lasted weeks, months, or even years; but those who were successful received prizes. People Are Funny rarely had celebrities, focusing instead on everyday people. As a result, few recordings of the show were saved.
