America's Funniest Home Videos is a comedy television series based on Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan, a Japanese variety show. The show features clips of submitted homemade videos from viewers. It was originally hosted by the late stand-up comedian Bob Saget from 1989 to 1997, until it was passed on to other people, such as Tom Bergeron, John Fugelsang, and others.

In 2005, screamers started to appear on the show in the spotlight when it was hosted by Tom Bergeron. Ever since he departed from AFV in 2015, screamers have stopped appearing on the show (only one entry appeared during Alfonso Ribeiro's run).

Tom described screamers as "the invention of a new practical joke. For example, soon after the match was invented, some joker came up with the hotfoot. After the invention of the door, someone invented the bucket of water over the door. So, of course, it makes sense that after the invention of e-mail, someone came up with this."
