truTV Presents: World's Dumbest... |
Almost Genius is an American cable television series that premiered December 29, 2015 and ended July 18, 2016 on truTV.
Almost Genius is a half-hour viral video clip show, hosted by comedians April Richardson and Chris Fairbanks. Like the network's previous longtime staple World's Dumbest , the show also involves a cast of comedians (some of them also from World's Dumbest) giving humorous commentary on videos of people, places, and things that try hard to succeed, but fall just a little short. However, unlike World's Dumbest, instead of mocking the subjects, the commentators congratulate them for their bravery and ingenuity. [1] [2] The show is produced by Meetinghouse Productions, the same company that also produced World's Dumbest.
