sionnach commented on the word cash cab
My current favorite TV quiz show, airing on the Discovery Channel. A concept of genius-like simplicity: passengers enter the cab, thinking it's a normal New York City taxi; once inside, the lights flash and they are inveigled into playing by genial cabbie/quizmaster Ben Bailey.
This is a wonderful show. Its high entertainment value stems from a number of factors: questions at just the right level, the unexpected bliss experienced by the winners, the occasional disconnect between passengers' appearances and their performance, and - most of all - the absolute perfection in his role of the host, comedian Ben Bailey.
My yearning to be on Jeopardy has now been replaced by a rabid desire to be on the Cash Cab.

I've recently been seeing ads for this around and about (presumably a new season). Didn't know what it was until I randomed this: sounds great!
I had assumed it was a lame "reality" show in which people get to drive cabs and rake in the most fares.

I've seen it once or twice. It's actually not bad, and does suck you into watching it. :)
