It’s so much more entertaining than Jeopardy and not nearly as hard (but it’s 100% still a tough show as the rounds go on). Plus Ben Bailey is such a great host. It helps that he is a stand-up comedian based in NY.
I didn’t even know he was a stand-up until one year in college he did a comedy show for us. He had a couple of references to the show in his routine.
“You know how I know I’m the Cash Cab guy? Everywhere I go…every…one…tells me. 'Hey it’s the Cash Cab Guy!” or “Hey, if your comedy career fails, at least you can drive a taxi!”
“Yeah, if my successful career telling jokes for a living fails, I can fall back on driving a fucking taxi around the city. That’s the dream…”
