A lighthearted, high-energy game show built on the surprise delight of ordinary people winning money through trivia, sustained by the host's warm rapport and the format's inherent rewatchability.

American version of the game show where unassuming people enter the “Cash Cab” as simple passengers taking a normal taxi ride, only to be shocked when they discover that they're instant contestants! Ben Bailey, the host and driver, then drives them to their destination asking general knowledge questions along the way.
