if i were famous, i would do stuff like this ALL the time. catching people off guard is the best! check it out – funny or die, will ferrell’s brainchild, had the brills idea of sending an undercover jewel to sing karaoke at a hole-in-the-wall bar!

donning a sly disguise, jewel/”karen” is coaxed by her co-workers (actors) to get her booty up on stage. she starts belting out songs by jewel much to the crowd’s delight! the reaction is pretty priceless: “she sounds better than jewel!”

this viral video just might become a tv series! similar in plot to CBS’ reality show, i get that a lot, there’s quite a market for this candid camera-esque format.  the funny or die boys are said to be pitching the show to network execs this week. the jewel vid got 2.5 million views in only 3 days! definitely has some potential. would YOU watch undercover karaoke?
