About the show: "America's Funniest Home Videos," the longest running primetime entertainment show in ABC history, returns for its 26th season with a brand new host: actor and "Dancing with the Stars" champion, Alfonso Ribeiro. The host may have changed but the show's mission remains the same-to provide viewers with hysterical moments that fly by at a dizzying pace. These real life blunders are fun for everyone from four to one-hundred-and-four. AFV, the show that invented the viral video, continues to be a Sunday night tradition for millions of families and with a new host, a new look, and new videos, it's sure to stay in America's hearts for many years to come.

This season, the show's $100,000 winners will compete for the chance to win the Grand Prize: An unforgettable vacation for 6 people to the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida and the new Shanghai Disney® Resort in China - opening next year.
