Could You Buy A Hamburger

Description

An audience member is dressed up as a homeless person and handed a thousand-dollar bill. He's then asked to use it to buy a hot dog. In another stunt, a guy gets an open bucket filled with perfume and is told to thumb a ride all the way to New York.

People Are Funny is an American radio and television game show, created by John Guedel that ran from 1942 to 1960 in which contestants were asked to carry out stunts in order to prove that "People Are Funny." Many stunts lasted weeks, months, or even years; but those who were successful received prizes. People Are Funny rarely had celebrities, focusing instead on everyday people. As a result, few recordings of the show were saved.
