Latverian Diplomat December 15, 2017 Share December 15, 2017 I've been watching the celebrity episodes...and while the celebrity aren't usually much help(*), people riding with a celebrity seem to do well. I'm not sure if the questions are easier, the contestants are screened, or it's just a coincidence. But I can imagine nobody's agent wants their client sitting in the cab when the passengers are kicked out. (*) Dave Foley was a massive exception to this. He was a huge help to people who really needed it. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-3897186

I do wonder if the Social Media Shoutout was done on actual social media or just a group of people in a room.

You can find the Social Media Shoutout posts on the CashCab facebook page. At this point, you have to scroll down a fair amount to see them. I wouldn't put it past them to have a few ringers pitching in with the right answer, but it hardly seems necessary, especially when the folks at home can google for the answer if they want to.

I just saw the second Gilbert Godfrey episode and they got kicked out with him, but I was left with the impression he was going to get back in the cab for a ride to wherever he wanted to be. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-3899018

Yes I just saw an episode where Spoiler Princeton graduate Brooke Shields went down in flames, and left the cab.

Ailianna December 20, 2017 Share December 20, 2017 There's a LOT of editing going on though. Not only have I never taken a 40 block ride in Manhattan in under 10 minutes (HA!), but every once in a while I catch it where the money doesn't add up for the questions we've seen. And when they edit it down so you only see the celebrity give the answer with no discussion of the group's process, it can look like the celebrity doing all the work. You see it in non-celebrity shows when the person in the answer seat seems to have all the answers. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-3906370

frogzapper January 3, 2018 Share January 3, 2018 I think I've seen all of the celebrity editions that have aired. Does anyone know if there are plans to do any more? I love Dave Foley (long time KITH fan) - I wish he could be a regular! Has Brooke Shields always been so twitchy? I found her distracting to watch! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-3934340
junemeatcleaver September 16, 2018 Share September 16, 2018 How well is the revival doing? My DVR picked up a couple of brand new episodes yesterday morning, a Saturday. Either it was a sneak peak or Discovery is burning off the episodes they have left. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-4677197
junemeatcleaver July 3, 2019 Share July 3, 2019 Bravo is reviving Cash Cab I figured the recent Discovery revival wasn't going to last long once they started burning off episodes on Saturday mornings. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-5417403

PrincessPurrsALot November 28, 2019 Share November 28, 2019 So far Bravo is showing reruns very overnight. Still waiting to know when new episodes will be on. They tacked an episode with Marge from Real Housewives of New Jersey to the end of that show tonight.

Totale February 4, 2021 Share February 4, 2021 (edited) My DVR picked up an episode on non-pay cable I hadn't seen a few days ago, had different opening credits. Would this have been from the Bravo run? Are those on a package like Discovery+? I'm proposing Ben Bailey for new Jeopardy host.

Ancaster October 20, 2023 Share October 20, 2023 I just stumbled across Cash Cab Canada on some obscure channel (AXStv). They're repeats from 2021. It's fun, just like the original, and the host is less "extra" than I thought Ben Bailey became. Actually, one difference, which I like, is the questions are more difficult! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/64556-cash-cab-general-discussion/#findComment-8181899
