Cash Cab Forum

For all those loves of trivia, random people on New York streets, and Ben Bailey, I have some bad news. Cash Cab, the trivia game show that all happens in the back of a NYC taxi cab, has been cancelled. Link.

It's been 6 seasons and over 200 episodes for the show so by no means is it a failure. Just a strange decision by Discovery who I can only assume will take the cash for producing Cash Cab and put it into a show where guys steal things from elderly folks and sell them in pawn shops while they tow away random cars on the street.

Seems like a shame to me because you don't see too many trivia based game shows on anymore and Cash Cab certainly had an interesting concept.

@PatVB: Combine the two! We have a hit!

well. That sucks. I loved cash cab...

Cash Cab is alright.

Aw, I loved Cash Cab.

Oh, well. :(

I know they debuted a Chicago version of Cash Cab awhile back. I assume that was already gone before this one too or is it still around?

Damn, I loved this show. I don't normally like game shows but I really liked this one, I think mainly because it wasn't on a set and didn't feel overproduced.

I used to watch Cash Cab on the regular, my favorite was one time these two girls got on in a terrible rain storm, neither had an umbrella. They proceeded to get the first 3 questions wrong (you know, the extra easy warm up ones), Ben Bailey was super supportive of them "good luck on the next one" and "I'm soo sorry I have to kick you out" but after they left he turned to the camera, shook his head and said something to the effect of "I'm not really sorry, how can....*sigh* nevermind"

Well, 200 episodes is plenty, but Cash Cab was an amazing show. Made all the greater by the hilarious Ben Bailey. I hope that dude can find another good hosting gig. Tons of charisma without any of that plasticy "Seacrest-ness".

Gotta say, though, that my interest really waned after learning how (sort-of) phony the whole set-up was.

@gangly: I agree. It lost its luster after that but I still enjoyed it every now and then to test my trivia knowledge. It wasn't as hard as say Jeopardy but it was still fun.
