Plot Synopsis

This series of specials mixes hidden camera elements with the concept of flash mobs, showing a special guest plan an extraordinary surprise for a friend, family member, loved one or co-worker. Throughout the hour, the guests will be seen getting ready for the event -- rehearsing their routines and refining their speeches -- all while receiving guidance from host Howie Mandel. Then, on the day of the big affair -- with the hidden cameras rolling -- the detailed plan comes to fruition and suddenly explodes into a song-and-dance spectacle that no one will ever forget. These surprises include: a husband learning that his wife is pregnant; an estranged father reconnecting with his daughter and wife; an online friend asking his longtime crush, who he's never met, to take their relationship to the next level; a mother revealing to her family that she has a child they never met; a soldier returning home from war; and many more stories.
