We have taken the popular hidden-camera format to the next level with a troupe of truly uninhibited comedians, as we recreate with real, unsuspecting people the funniest, most memorable moments from feature films, commercials and sitcoms. An obvious example would be the 'Ill have whatever she had scene from 'When Harry Met Sally, " explained Levin.
