本尼.希尔，对数百万影迷来说，是世界上最滑稽的人，他全身投入到工作中，因为这就是他真实的写照。他要和他的喜剧英雄查理·卓别林一样出名。为了圆明星梦，他放弃了一切，放弃了所有人。本尼·希尔(Benny Hill)在娱乐圈滚打了40多年，於1991年在卓别林的故乡瑞士，接受了卓别林喜剧奖，这是他一生中的加冕时刻。1924年1月21日出生於英国南部海岸的一个热闹港市南安普敦，家族更与马戏团很有渊源，可能因为这样，造就了本尼的喜剧天份。本尼的祖父带领他进入演艺界，第一次参与演出是1949年的「嗨！您好」，1955年，本尼独特的「Benny Hill」式表演，为他开启往后40年的光芒岁月。 除了搞笑演出，本尼还曾经参与「创世纪合唱团」（菲尔柯林斯的乐团）音乐录像带的演出，他在剧中担任保全领队的角色，最重要的任务就是保护乐团的伙食。这个角色也让本尼发挥得淋漓尽致，让「创世纪乐团」的歌曲因他的加入而更受瞩目。但本尼带有腥色膻的表演内容也常遭受许多抨击，批评声浪多了之后，他开始加入温馨的儿童元素，也改变幽默的方式，让观众更能接受他。 1992年，Benny Hill被邻居发现因心脏衰竭死在他最心爱的椅子上。过世后，他的节目仍让观众念念不忘，不过，这位搞笑天王，生前风光，过世时却很孤单，没有任何妻儿，只留下一千万英镑的巨额遗产。

"America's Funniest Home Videos" was inspired by a series of successful TV specials, where home viewers were invited to send in videotapes of their "funniest" moments. In "AFHV," host Saget provided commentary to the home videos which often showed wedding and sports bloopers, children and pets either being themselves or getting into trouble, furniture or other objects giving way (usually contributing to someone's fall) and "comical" reactions to getting inadvertently hit (usually in the groin). Sometimes, certain videos were grouped into themes, such as Christmas or a summer vacation, or had sentimental value to them, such as a marriage proposal; other times, videos were set to classic rock tunes. The top three videos of the week as selected by the producers were eligible for each week's $10,000 top prize; the audience would electronically vote for their one favorite video. Weekly winners got to compete in a later special for a $100,000 top prize.
