Watch Cash Cab

Cash Cab is a game show that took place in a New York City yellow cab. It was created by Adam Wood. The taxi is unmarked, and you don't know it is Cash Cab until you sit down in the cab. Then the inside ceiling lights start flickering, and you hear the announcer state that you are in the Cash Cab. That is when the passenger(s) realize the entire taxi is equipped as Cash Cab. The driver tells you how far it is until your destination, and asks you if you want to play the game.

If you tell the driver you do want to play, he asks you a series of trivia questions that are worth cash rewards. Your money starts building up as the driver takes you to your destination. There is a part of the game that takes place when the driver stops at a red light. If you have won a specific amount of money, and the driver stops at a red light, he tells you it is the red light challenge. The question has a multitude of correct answers, and the passenger(s) have a specific amount of time to answer.
