I've spent two years in prison relaying stories sent by letters to a blogger about my crimes, arrests, and life in four Florida prisons, the Pinellas County Jail, juvenile detention and drug rehab. I'm sending a message to others not to make the same mistakes I did.

Ted Braden on America's Funniest Home Videos

Now appearing by popular demand (since it was mentioned in a tb-two newspaper article): Baby Teddy appears on the very first episode ever of the popular TV show America's Funniest Home Videos.

Ted Braden (aka Teen in Jail) appeared on the very first episode ever of America's Funniest Home Videos - hosted by Bob Saget - in November 1989 when he was six months old. His father was changing his diaper and Baby Teddy peed in his father's face.

The winning video clip of that particular episode appears first - of a lady stuck inside a dishwasher. The winning video was recorded in 1986 (per the date stamp on bottom).

TV Guide advertised a contest for the very first episode of the show and received 700 entries. After the show aired, they received more than 7,000 videos a week.

Ted’s dad (Bill Braden) videotaped practically every moment of Ted's life (up until 1997 when his parents divorced) since the show aired - hoping to get another tape on the show, but unfortunately never did. (Ted's mom says it was because she was the one running the video camera on that video!)


Ted did give permission in a phone call from jail for this video to be posted.

Stay tuned for more extremely funny videos (and there are plenty!) of Teddy growing up.
