Wednesday marked a day of appreciation for countless crotch blows and absurd accidents as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History received memorabilia from “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
The reception, hosted by the show’s creator Vin di Bona, kicked into gear with a montage of the greatest clips from ABC’s comic crown jewel. The most painful excerpts plastered the show’s most recent host Tom Bergeron’s face on the bodies of the unfortunate victims (funny, but we would have loved to seen former host Bob Saget’s mug instead).
Following the clips, Bergeron told the audience that comedian Tina Fey is a huge fan, just like her character in “Baby Mama.”
“‘Amy [Poehler] and I love ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos.’ We watch it every day and call each other to talk about which one we liked best,’” Bergeron said, quoting Fey.
