Cash Cab: Cancelled After Seven Years

by Trevor Kimball, April 20, 2012

Cancelled Cash CabVulture reports that Discovery Channel has cancelled Cash Cab after seven years on the air. A representative for the cable channel confirmed the cancellation.

Hosted by Ben Bailey, the TV series brought an unusual take to the game show genre. Everyday people would hop into a cab and were told that they were on a game show. They would then have a chance to win cash prizes by answering trivia questions while being delivered to their destination.

While Discovery never made a big deal about Cash Cab’s ratings, audiences and TV insiders clearly liked the original concept. It won the Daytime Emmy for Best Game Show for three years straight, from 2008 until 2010. Bailey won as Best Host in 2010.

With more than 200 episodes, reruns of Cash Cab will continue to air in syndication. Lion Television could shop the series to other outlets but plans to do so haven’t been announced.

There have been several international versions of Cash Cab and actually the concept began in Europe. In the US, there have been two spin-offs. Cash Cab: After Dark had a brief run in 2007 and featured Bailey as host. Cash Cab: Chicago debuted last February and hasn’t been cancelled yet. Beth Melewski hosts that version.

What do you think? Do you like Cash Cab? Do you think that it’s time for the show to come to an end?

I miss watching Cash Cab as not only was it fun, but I learned a lot by watching. I have no idea when it is on because I have not seen any episodes airing in a really long time. Good shows on TV are rare these days so I would love to watch it again!

I Love Cash Cab and think Ben Baily is a fantastic host. I binge watch reruns of the show and wish it would resume! I have over 60 recorded and love each and every one.
Thanks Ben

The show was one of the few that did not make Americans look like shallow idiots. I actually regained my faith in some parts of our educational system, common sense. Too bad shows meant to shock with nudity, sex, and hostile behavior are extremely popular. did someone forget that there are those of us ut here who still use our brains for other than hat racks?

Please bring back cash cab. It was so fun to watch and play along . It’s better than all those reality shows the networks think that we want to watch. Miss you Ben Bailey .
