Take a slice of Punk’d, add in some Candid Camera and a song-and-dance flash mob, and you have Fox’s new special, Mobbed, airing on Fox on Thursday, March 31, 2011, 9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT. This time though, instead of crazy pranks, host Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal) will help special guests pull off extraordinary surprises for family, friends, loved ones or co-workers. Each ‘surprise’ will end up in a fantastic reveal – like a husband learning of his wife’s pregnancy, and an applicant learning she got the job and a marriage proposal, among others.

Throughout the hour, the guests will be shown prepping for the event – rehearsing their routines and refining their speeches – all while receiving guidance from Mandel. Then, on the day of the big event – with the hidden cameras rolling – the detailed plan comes to fruition and suddenly explodes into a song-and-dance spectacle they are sure never to forget. What begins as a few dancers evolves into a grand-scale performance that wraps up with a life-changing announcement for the participants like nothing ever seen on TV.
Does anyone else smell a new series in the making?
