US comedy star Jack Black will join Shelley Craft for the Grand Final of Australia’s Funniest Home Videos on November 27th.
Black will be in the studio as the annual winner of the long-running video show is announced.
One of six grand finalists will score $250,000 in cash, that’s more than the winner of the year’s top rating show, MasterChef Australia.
AFHV says it has had more than 300 video submissions this year. Is that missing a “0”?
300 must pale into insigificance compared to what the show was netting in years gone by. And it indicates how many import videos are used to keep the show going.
But AFHV keeps on keeping on. Together with Hey Hey and the GTV special it looks like Nine has the final night of ratings stitched up.
Australia’s Funniest Home Videos Grand Final airs 6.30pm Saturday, November 27 on Nine.

In the age of Youtube, the only possible audience left for this show must be really, really old people. And the stuff on YT doesn’t need Danny McMaster’s “funny” voiceovers and tired sound effects.
i sent in a compile of videos some years ago – a bit of everything to suit all tastes/humour…sadly i just got back a photocopied response telling me how they have to reject any videos that contained the following: – cant remember but it was a great long list that basically listed every type of funny home video type they always use on the show, so i basically cant understand why they reject it.
Just as i cant understand how it can still rate, since 90% are clips they have been re-running for the last 10+ years or are well run on youtube.
Yes and as we all should know its mostly revoiced american clips
I am surprised the audience of this show can manage to turn on a video camera let alone send in something they have recorded.
A 1 in 300 chance of winning? Will have to send some in next year – have loads of stuff much funnier than what they end up showing!
Do they accept videos on DVD or media card now or do you still have to send in a video cassette tape? Who still owns a VHS camcorder?
wow – jack black! sounds awesome! too bad i’m busy on saturdays…
I didn’t know this show was still on.
I think we all knew that Hey Hey and Lights, Camera, Party would rate well, but this shows that AFHV has the potential to rate big as well.
But Seven does have the premiere of Wall-E and Narnia: Prince Caspian. Many kids will probably sit down and watch Wall-E and there might be a lot of them who stay for Narnia, considering the third film comes out the week after.
I’m still not sure whether Nine will win this final ratings night.
i like jack black, the kung-fu panda 🙂
I’m surprised the number is so high to be honest.
