Hi-Jinks was a hidden camera prank show that aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2006. The show was hosted by Leila Sbitani, and each episode featured a series of pranks on unsuspecting people in everyday situations. The show was divided into segments, with each segment featuring a different prank. The pranks ranged from simple gags to elaborate setups, and the reactions of the victims were often hilarious.

One of the most popular segments on the show was called "Lunch Break," in which a group of construction workers were surprised with a flash mob of dancers during their lunch break. The workers were confused and unsure of what was happening at first, but soon joined in the fun and danced along with the performers.

Another segment that was popular with viewers was called "Candy Store," in which a man dressed as a giant piece of candy walked around a candy store, much to the confusion of the other customers. The prank escalated when the candy man started to imitate the behavior of the other customers, causing even more confusion and laughter.

The show also featured a segment called "Roommate Wanted," in which Leila set up a fake roommate interview with unsuspecting apartment hunters. The interviewer was actually a hilarious character named Ray, who would ask off-the-wall questions and make bizarre requests of the potential roommates. The reactions of the interviewees were often priceless.

One of the things that made Hi-Jinks stand out from other prank shows was the fact that the victims were always in on the joke in the end. After each prank, Leila would emerge from hiding and let the victims know that they were on a hidden camera show. This not only added to the humor of the show, but also helped prevent anyone from being genuinely upset or traumatized by the pranks.

In addition to the pranks themselves, the show also featured behind-the-scenes footage of the setup and planning that went into each segment. This gave viewers a glimpse of the work that went into making the pranks seem spontaneous and unexpected.

Overall, Hi-Jinks was a fun and entertaining show that appealed to a wide range of viewers. The pranks were clever and often hilarious, and Leila Sbitani was a charismatic and engaging host. While the show only ran for one season, it remains a beloved favorite for many Nickelodeon fans to this day.

Hi-Jinks is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (20 episodes). The series first aired on August 2, 2005.
