Good news for flash mob fans, bad news for the Jamie Foxx/Affion Crockett sketch comedy show. Fox announced this morning that it will air Mobbed, a reality special putting a hidden-camera spin on the “flash mob” phenomenon (large groups of people suddenly showing up in a public place to “perform”). It’s schedule to air on March 31, following American Idol. The network had originally slotted a preview of the Foxx/Crockett summer sketch comedy series, which will premiere in June. Hosted by Howie Mandel, Mobbed will feature “special guests planning extraordinary surprises for friends, family members, loved ones or co-workers” with the help of strangers who put on flash mob performances. The special, from Alevy Prods. and Angel City Factory, is based on a format created by Mandel, Trell and Kitrosser.

WIN.
Wow, “flash mobs”! How au courant of Fox. It’s like it’s 2003 in here. Anybody heard about this new “iPod” thingy? NO WAY it’ll be as popular as the Walkman!
Congratulations to flash mobs for officially jumping the shark.
WIN ALL AROUND FOR EVERYONE ON THIS. THIS SHOW IS FANTASTIC!!!
omg i agree the SHOW IS GREAT NIKKI SMILE MAD ME CRY .HWIE GREAT JOB
Congratulations Howie and Darryl!
could this ever be as cool and fresh as what Improv Everywhere has done and continues to do?
Is there a bigger, no talent hack around than Howie Mandel? Just a cliche-ridden, non-funny, absolute horrendous hack.
And to the commenter above called Yes – at first I thought your comment was brilliant satire. Then I realized you’re probably serious and undoubtedly a member of Howie Manhel’s family or Howie Mandel.
Mandel really creeps me out. Hard to look at and impossible to watch.
I actually have always found Howie Mandel sexy. Very sexy. Starting when he used to have hair and despite the germophobe thing. Like fully clothed porno. Sexy Mizrahim. How tall is he, I wonder…
never liked Howie never thought even for a second he was funny –changed the channel every-time he came on –just one more show not to watch –BUT!! it will get high ratings only because its after IDOL!!! and the cat is still watching the show in all those Nielsen homes next to the half dead gramdma left in the room sleeping by the famly
I saw Howie once long ago at a hotel in Marina del Rey he was sitting in the lobby with his family but he was so obnoxious instead of sitting on the sofa like a normal person he was sitting atop the sofa with his shoes on the cushions like he was king of the world. Who would do something like that? Only an asshole. The hotel personnel were afraid to tell him to please take his shoes off the sofa cushion because they knew he was a celebrity he acted like he owned the place he’s a schmuck that incident forever made
him a schmuck. He had no right to do that.
Now he’s so damn ugly with his shaved head and his stupid chin patch his fame is proof that idiots can always succed on TV. His entire career was an accident he was at the Comedy Store in town from Toronto he was a carpet salesman and it was open mic night and he somehow made the audience laugh and after that he started doing TV. Truly amazing but the success went to his head it made him go bald and turned him into the world’s biggest asshole. We hate you Howie.
Congrats to Howie and everyone involved!!
Somehow he remains employed. God must love him or he has some blackmail pics.
I find him to be unwatchable. I’ll pass.
Howie Mandel’s style of “flash mob”:
White gloves, they move without touching, wear masks, avoid stepping on sidewalk cracks, repeat their flash destination 3 times, and fist pump each other.
PS- To those who wonder whether Mandel’s inexplicable career benefits from Divine intervention…Yes!
God has OCD.
On the 7th day, He looked at His work, and pronounced it unacceptable. And did it all over again…and again…
Howie Mandel? Seriously?
Why is this show even coming on??? Just from the previews it looks bad…Weak FOX, VERY WEAK!!!
Love this!!!
How can I get on this show? Two weeks till my daughter’s 21st birthday in Vegas, would be over the top to do this for her.
Hey Howie congrats, how can I get on the show. My wife of 2 years, we have been together for 7 years is trying to leave me and take our 4 children with her. I am a blk ftm 34 years old and we have a 17, 14, 10,and 7 year old kids. HOW can I flash MOB her to impress her to stay with me????
OMG !!!!! I really enjoyed your show. It was awesome, actually made me cry tears of joy…..WAY TO GO HOWIE AND JAMIE
I totally loved the show.. I hope its on for a very long time..
I have been with my man for 12 years if we had the money to get maried would. I wish i could surprize my man like that it would be the most wonderful thing in my life to be his wife. He is the most most wonderful man i know what can i say to surprize him like that. I WOULD BETHEMOST HAPPIES WOMEN ON EARTH TO GET MARIED THE SHOWWAWONDERFUL I WISH I COULDDO THAT
To everyone making comments, good or bad, I respect your right to state your opinion. but why so mean? Everything you think and say only comes back to you. You dont even know him, and yet you make remarks about his character. Peace and prosperity to everyone.
Tonight was the first time I saw your show. It took me back when I was a little girl watching The Wizard of Oz. My parents took us to our Aunt and Uncles because they had a new color TV. I remember when Dorothy opened her door and everything was in the most spectacular color I had ever seen. Well tonight was the same way. What a dream to be able to do what Justin and Nikki did.
My husband, Marion is 21 yrs. older than me. We have been married for 24 yrs. He has been in and out of the hospital/rehabs since November 2010. He had his leg amputated on 5/31/11. In 2004/05 he had multiple right hip replacements and dislocations within 8 months. He is my best friend and I would love to celebrate our 25yr wedding anniversary this year on October 24. Salute to your show.
