Can an Internet sensation work as a network TV show? Howie Mandel thinks it can. That's why he's developed a show based on the online phenomenon known as "flash mobs." "Mobbed" airs as a one-hour special on Thursday, and we talked to Mandel — who hosts and also produces the show — about coming up with the concept, working through the logistics of creating a flash mob from scratch, and why he thinks people will find it so entertaining. Plus, he reveals how his wife made the best career move of his life!
"Mobbed" airs at 9/8 Central on Fox, after "American Idol," tonight.
