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.
