Candid Camera (2014)

Classic hidden camera reality series "Candid Camera" is returning to television with a new incarnation at TV Land from the series’ long-time host, Peter Funt, son of creator and original host Allen Funt, and Electus‘ Ben Silverman.

With its signature catch phrase, “Smile, you’re on Candid Camera!”, Candid Camera introduced the hidden camera concept to television in 1948, and the series continued in several iterations over the course of more than 50 years.

The New Candid Camera will likely feature classic clips from the past decades. But the show will mainly be “about delivering a fresh show for today’s audiences with great bits,” Silverman said. There have been a lot of hidden camera shows since Candid Camera.

“Most of those derivative series were mean and had more of a ‘gotcha’ vibe,” Ben Silverman said, noting that the new Candid Camera will stay true to its roots with “more comedic observations, more thoughtfulness.” (Source: Deadline.com)
