After a series of theatrical
film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone,
Funt's concept came to television on August 10, 1948, and continued
into the 1970s.
The show involved concealing cameras filming ordinary people being
confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props,
such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car
with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would
be told the show's catchphrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."
In
this classic episode Marge Green and Tom O'Malley, two writers for the show took on roles of a husband and wife, where the wife had a dog leash on her husband and asked passers-by to hold him by the leash while she ran an errand across the street.
