NEW YORK — Two Amazon-owned companies - Ring and Hollywood studio MGM - are teaming to create a TV show in the mold of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” using viral footage from Ring’s doorbell and smart-home cameras.
The half-hour show, called “Ring Nation,” will be hosted by actor and comedian Wanda Sykes and premiere in syndication on Sept. 26, MGM said.
The studio noted audiences should expect to see the usual things that go viral - marriage proposals, neighbors saving neighbors and silly animals.
The series showcases Amazon’s fusion of its various business arms, this time to highlight what MGM called “interesting moments from communities across the country.
