[edit] Description
The show consists of home videos that people have sent in of things that are humorous and/or amazing with narration by the show's host Bill Engvall, and the winner, chosen by Bill, wins the "Here's Your Sign" award (taken from Bill's trademark "Here's Your Sign" standup comedy routine), as well as one thousand dollars. Bill hosts the show from a diner. The show often features a sound effect of a gun cocking before a video begins and always starts with a disclaimer stating that video submissions depicting intentionally dangerous and/or illegal content will be rejected, and ends with Bill asking a waitress, "Waitress's name Check, please."
[edit] Recurring features
Along with the regular assortment of videos, the show also includes recurring segments. These have included the following.
[edit] The World's Strongest Redneck
The most frequently-seen segment, called "The World's Strongest Redneck", appears in almost every episode. In the segment, The World's Strongest Redneck, Steve McGranahan, does something that takes a lot of strength to do, such as pulling a chain with a car attached to it with his teeth, bending metal objects with his bare hands, ripping a deck of cards in half with duct tape on them, or playing tee-ball with a [[sledgehammer]and bowling ball!].
[edit] The Great Handini
Another segment, one that is not shown as often as "The World's Strongest Redneck", is called "The Great Handini". In this segment, a person named Maher Haddad makes noises with his body parts, such as using his hands to perform "Yankee Doodle", "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
[edit] Season 1: 2006
There were videos with car, monster truck, or motorcycle wrecks. Also during the show, Bill says his favorite things to do is bet on horse races, go fishing or hunting, or watching monster truck rallies. There was only one episode with bloopers at the end of the show.

Here's Your Sign Award

[edit] First Television
First Television is a joint venture between brothers Mack Anderson and Bradley Anderson two men determined to make television the most entertaining appliance in the house. They believe the answer to almost every television question is cutting edge, innovative programming.
The Andersons have produced in most television genres—cable, daytime talk, magazine strips, games, network reality series, network specials, live action and animated children’s programming. First Television doesn’t do cookie cutter television. They’re more interested in doing cool TV shows.
First Television has developed a reputation for finely crafted programming with a slightly twisted edge. The Andersons are currently executive producing three shows for CMT (Country Music Television), Bill Engvall’s “Here’s Your Sign” Special, Country Fried Planet, and Country Fried Home Videos. They’re responsible for both Paramount syndicated series Maximum Exposure and Unexplained Mysteries, and Comedy Central's version of Trigger Happy TV. They produced the smash hit Battlebots for Comedy Central, airing for five seasons and 130 episodes of MTV's webRiot, a high-tech interactive gameshow. Comedy Central went through 200 comedy game show proposals before ordering 65 episodes of Vs., an offbeat game that pits wildly disparate groups in pop culture mania. They also produced The Rocket Challenge for the Discovery Channel. First Television also helped create PSI Factor with Dan Aykroyd and The Paranormal Borderline, hosted by Jonathan Frakes (the Star Trek guy) for UPN.
