As far as I know, Larry hovis is still alive. About a decade ago, he was
involved in a controversy of sorts. He was producing a CANDID CAMERA rip-off,
I think on FOX. It turned out that many of the "candid" subjects were actually
fully staged. I believe Hovis was fired, and the show was cancelled shortly
thereafter.

The name of the show was "Totally Hidden Video". It aired from 7/9/97 - 8/7/92.

An excerpt from the book "Total Television" by Ed McNeil :

"The show received much publicity in advance of its premiere when word leaked out
that some segments of the pilot had featured actors, rather than innocent
citizens; the pilot was subsequently reshot."

Larry Hovis is actually on faculty at a universityu/college in Texas. A
room-mate of mine was applying for academic teaching positions last year
and Hovis' name was on one of the letterheads... ain't that a kick?!
