CASH CAB: The best show ever?

[Bennyboy]

"Hey I am on a game show inside a taxi and I need an answer to this......" I really want to get one of these calls someday.

I love it. So random, so funny. What is funny is how stupid some people are. Sometimes people you would not think would be dumb, turn out to be the lamest fools.... and other people you think are gonna be dumb turn out to be so knowlegable.

2. It does seem to get a true random selection of people.

As opposed to the hysterical idiots pre-selected for most game shows.

Oh, wait. Never mind. That's Cash Warren.

8. Love that show. Very entertaining half hour. Ben makes

it work. It's certainly not random, though, as the contestants are all going north or south usually around 20-40 blocks and entirely within Manhattan - so they have to be pre-screened to some extent.
And I read somewhere that the "cash" he gives them is bogus. They get a check later after the show airs. But all in all a lot of fun and an interesting concept.

9. I totally want to be on that show.

:) It's pretty fun to watch, and I've always loved trivia games and such...of course, if I ever DID get lucky enough to get in the Cash Cab, I'd probably freeze and look like an idiot, but hey, I can dream, right? :P
