People Are Funny is an American radio and television game show created by John Guedel that aired from 1942 to 1960. Focused on everyday people as contestants, the show asked them to carry out various stunts to prove the humorous nature of people. The show began on radio with Art Baker as host, who was later replaced by Art Linkletter in 1943. Linkletter continued hosting the TV adaptation from 1954 to 1960. Produced and written by John Guedel, the show featured entertaining stunts and was a precursor to modern "reality" and prank-based television shows.
