COMIC RELIEF

*America's Funnies Home Video
Host: Full House's Bob Saget. Just For Laughs: Pratfalls, groin injuries, and other knee slappers. Typical Line: Saget (as the voice of a chapeau-snatching zoo elephant): ''Hats — you can't eat just one!" Reality Check: The producers claim they can weed out any staged mishaps. Watch This Show If: You enjoy seeing others win cash prizes by accidentally making asses of themselves.

*America's Funniest People
Hosts: Full House's Dave Coulier — doesn't John Stamos feel left out? — and sultry Tawny Kitaen (replacing chirpy Arleen Sorkin as of Sept. 20). Just for Laughs: Contortionists, celebrity look-alikes, and assorted geeks. Typical Line: ''This is my impression of Elvis Presley doing Steve Urkel.'' Reality Check: Yes, these people actually think they're funny. Watch This Show If: You enjoy seeing others win cash prizes by intentionally making asses of themselves.
