Kids Say the Darndest Things was an American television series hosted by Bill Cosby and co-hosted by Art Linkletter that aired on CBS from 1998 to 2000. It was based on Art Linkletter's television series, Art Linkletter's House Party, which aired five days a week on CBS for more than 20 years. The premise of the show is that the host would ask a question to a cute child (around the age of 3-8) who would usually respond in a "cute" way.
British television network ITV produced their own version of the show, renamed Kids Say The Funniest Things. It was presented by Michael Barrymore, and was a production of LWT. There was also an Australian version titled "Kidspeak" hosted by Andrew Daddo on the Seven Network for a number of seasons in the late-1990s and early-2000s.
In 2005, Robert Johnson and Albert Evans adapted the show into a full-length musical comedy.
The show has been featured in adult cartoons Family Guy and The Simpsons.
