Mobbed

Mobbed is the Fox hidden camera series where host Howie Mandel uses flash mobs to help special guests plan surprises. The term flash mob emerged in 2003, to describe groups of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, usually doing something unexpected for amusement and entertainment. Usually these people organize through social media and viral emails, meeting to have silent disco parties, huge public pillow fights, and much more. Groups like Improv Everywhere have used flash mobs as part of their performance arts, trying to cause unexpected fun in public places with acts like synchronized swimming in a park fountain, wearing blue shirts to Best Buy, riding the NYC subway without pants, and over a hundred other missions. Now Howie Mandel is getting in on the fun, using these tactics to help his guests create a fantastic surprise for loved ones, friends, family members and more. Mobbed guests prepare for elaborate events, rehearsing dances with hundreds of performers, working on speeches and more, all to amaze their loved one, before a big reveal. The goal of these mobs is to make extraordinary events out of secret reveals, whether it is a marriage proposal or a person getting a job. Tune in and see these elaborate surprises with Fox's hidden camera series Mobbed. MORE
