"In particular, America's Funniest People is searching for jokes, unique impressions, sound effects and commercial parodies, as well as lip-syncing to favorite records," said Vin Di Bona, executive producer.

Winners on the show go on to compete for $10,000 in prize money given away weekly, Bona said.

Producers from the show are at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale today, and will be in Paducah, Ky. on Saturday. From Cape Girardeau, they will return to Carbondale's University Mall for a Monday taping.
