Cash cab

Cash cab is a game show on dicovery channel that takes place in a cab in New York City. This is a pretty good idea because with how many cabs there are in New York City the chances of you getting this cab is slim to none. The host and driver of the cash cab is Ben Bailey and I have to say they couldn't have picked a better host for this show. On the inside of the cabs ceiling there are lights and Ben must turn on the lights after the contestants get inside the cab. But sometimes he'll sit there and the contestants will be confused on why the cab isn't moving which creates an awkward momen for them and then he flips on the lights and comes to life and explains what they have just walked into. He is so lively and as the show has become more and more popular he has created different voices and bends down over the wheel. He sometimes pretends to have an Italian accecnt or talk like an old man and it's pretty funny. What I don't understand is how he knows where all these destinations are? Because when I went to New York City my cab driver didn't know where the place was I wanted to go and we had to tell him. Maybe he has a GPS in the cab or something? Another thing I want to know is how much money they keep in that cab? Because he always has the exact amount for the contestant everytime no matter how much they won. The first four questions are worth twenty five dollars the next four are fiffty dollars an after that the questions are worth a hundred dollars. You have two life lines in this game. You can either use a mobile shout out or a street shout out. For the mobile shout out Ben gives you a cell phone and you're allowed one call. For the street shout out Ben stops the car and pulls over to the side of the road and the contestants must ask a stranger walking by the question. This is an awkward moment because not everyone knows about this show and when you're walking down the street and some people hanging out of a cab window are calling over to you you usually just walk away. Since this show is completely random the contestants that come on this show are of all sorts. Some really dumb and some super smart. But if you get three strikes or three questions wrong Ben will kick you out no matter where you are and no matter what the weather was like. When you get to a red like that triggers a red light challenge where Ben will ask you a question that has multiple answers to it. You don't get penalized for wrong answers but you only have a certain amount of time to get all the answers to get the money. At the end of the ride. If you make it that far. You can either take the money or go double or nothing on a video bonus question. These questions are sometimes easy and then other times are just really hard. This game show is like a dumb version of jepordy.
