Candid Microphone was a 1940s radio show which soon became the long-running TV series "Candid Camera". The show involved scenarios in which unwitting members of the public would be placed in a situation where unusual things began happening (caused by actors hired by the producers as well as various props). The victim of the prank's reactions would be recorded and at some stage the joke is finally revealed to them. Created and produced by Allen Funt, Candid Microphone first appeared on the ABC radio network in the 1947 using hidden microphones. The format, though embarrassing to many of his prey, proved highly popular. Funt considered himself a student of human nature rather than a practical joker. After a series of theatrical film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone, Funt's concept moved to television on August 10, 1948 when Candid Camera hit the airwaves.
