People Are Funny is an American radio and television game show created by John Guedel, in which contestants were asked to carry out stunts to prove the show's title statement. Many stunts lasted weeks, months, or even years, with successful participants receiving prizes. The show rarely featured celebrities, instead focusing on everyday people, and as a result, few recordings of the show were saved.

The show aired from 1942 to 1960, with Art Baker as the initial host before being replaced by Art Linkletter in 1943. People Are Funny moved to CBS from 1951 to 1954 before returning to NBC from 1954 to 1960. In 1984, a reconstituted version of the show with Flip Wilson as the host aired on NBC. The show was sponsored by Kool Cigarettes and later Mars Candy. Throughout its 18-year run on radio and television, People Are Funny continued to showcase increasingly outrageous and humorous stunts.
