After five years of being off the air, Cash Cab is getting a reboot! The trivia game show hosted in a cab returns to TV tonight. Tony Tackaberry, CEO of Lion Television, the production company behind the series, joins Cheddar to dish on the new season.
Cash Cab will still be hosted by Ben Bailey, but now the show includes surprise celebrities who will jump in the cab with the unsuspecting trivia contestants. Cash Cab was originally on the air from 2005 to 2012, and was awarded 3 Daytime Emmys during that period.
The series premiere features our very own Cheddar producer, Max Godnick as a contestant. The lifelong New Yorker says it has always been a dream of his to get in the cab. He was thoroughly surprised when his time came, because the show had been off the air for five years, but was grateful for the opportunity to put his trivia skills to the test. Max's group of friends were joined by Gilbert Gottfried, who Max says was more of a hindrance than a help.
Cash Cab is back, and the fans are ready for the original car-based entertainment show.

The Biden administration is once again extending the pause on federal student loans payments — this time, through the end of August. In a statement, President Biden cited a recent analysis from the Fed that if the payments were to resume, millions of student loan borrowers would face significant "economic hardship, delinquencies, and defaults that could threaten America's financial stability." Sarah Foster, an analyst at Bankrate, breaks down the impact of the extension on borrowers, the economy, and the future of student loan forgiveness. "I think this is just an instance of the federal student loan forbearance program kind of creating additional uncertainty for borrowers, especially in the sense that these past four extensions from the Biden administration have kind of come at the 11th hour here," she said.
Walk into any coffee shop or diner and you’ll spot packets of Sweet ‘n’ Low, Equal, or Splenda sweet right away. And, if you’re someone who uses these sweeteners, you’re not alone. In 2020 alone, 141 million Americans used sugar substitutes. They’re attractively marketed with little to no calories, claims of no weight gain and are supposedly safe for diabetics. But with all the hype comes a history of negative PR and health concerns, including possible cancer links. And yet talk of bans by the US Government have proven ineffective, even inciting chaos.
So how did these small packets become so mighty?
