Cash Cab is a TV game show devised by Adam Wood that originated in the United Kingdom and has been licensed to television networks in numerous other countries. Passengers in a specially outfitted taxi cab are surprised and offered the chance to win money by correctly answering a series of general knowledge or trivia questions on the way to their destination. The American version of Cash Cab has comedian Ben Bailey as host, while the Australian version features James Kerley, and the Canadian version features Adam Growe.
A support van tails the Cash Cab containing producers and a camera crew for the various street shots. The staff provides logistical information and questions by way of a walkie-talkie and earpiece worn by the host. After the potential contestants enter and hire the cab, they are made aware that they are in the Cash Cab as lights and a fanfare play inside accompanied by the host's greeting. The contestants are also told that once their travelling begins, the cab will not take detours of any kind unless directed by a police officer, stop sign, traffic light or other legal means of diverting traffic, and the host offers them the chance to get out of the cab if they do not wish to play. Contestants must stay in the cab until they reach their destination in order to keep the money they have won in the game.
If the passenger stays in the cab, the game begins.
