Boing Boing

"Smile! You're on Candid Camera" still creeps me out

Running for 66 years, from 1948 to 2014, Candid Camera always struck me as terrifying. Every time something started to go so wrong I couldn't believe it was real, I had to wonder if somehow I was being victimized on that god-awful TV show.

I can not understand why the host isn't subject to assault by rage-filled victims after saying those special, 'oh hell no' words: Smile! You're on Candid Camera!

When I was very young, I decided I'd never sign a release if I was ambushed by these guys.
