O.k., so my new favorite show is "Cash Cab" on the Discovery Channel. It is such a great show! Not only is it creative and entertaining, but it's educational, too. How great is that?!
Contestants randomly hail a cab in New York and are suddenly surprised to find themselves taking a ride to their destination but playing a game show for money on the way. Prize money goes up with each round of questions and contestants can use two "shout outs" during the game that consist of either calling someone or stopping a random person on the street to ask for help with the answer. Red lights can sometimes trigger the "Red Light" bonus round, which is totally cool. But beware, get three wrong answers before you reach your destination and you could be booted from the taxi.
I've seen people leave the cab with $1600, and I've seen people leave with nothing but a fun story to tell their friends. Tourists, locals, anyone can randomly have a chance to participate. I'm tellin' ya, it's pure fun and pure genius! At the end of the ride you can even choose to take the money and run or double it with a video bonus and possibly leave with nothing but what you got in the cab with.
Check your local listing for times and let me know what you think. I almost wanna go to NYC to try to find the "Cash Cab." Cha-ching!
