Misinformation

The contestants for the Cash Cab are pre-screened. So they are aware that they are going on a "reality show". Shoehopchicken (talk) 00:34, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know this? Is there any reliable source?Josephiav (talk) 21:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the show, there is a disclaimer saying contestants are pre-screened before appearing on the show. 69.171.165.191 (talk) 00:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering, if the cash is only a "prop" why don't the winners say something like "hey this isn't real money?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.240.149.185 (talk) 16:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It probably is real money, just not 'the' real money they actually get. 86.169.128.77 (talk) 23:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

High Scores

Is it just me or are the records all jumbled. -Hamster2.0 (talk) 15:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it needs cleaned up. I would suggest maybe a top 2-3 each from the three different versions of the show. (Original, New Prize Structure, After Dark) This could be done in a simple 4x3 or 4x4 table or if descriptions are wanted do the top from each show and a short description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jared555 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Light panel change

When were the light panels in the headliner changed from solid squares that only lit in one color to the four spots per panel that can light in multiple colors? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.19.158.137 (talk) 22:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did not originate in the U.S.

I added a link to this article that makes that clear.1archie99 (talk) 13:58, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I invented CASH CAB . I lived inCalifornia at the time. Ben Bailey overheard me describing my idea for CASH CAB . I did not name the show. I just invented the scenario that Ben is using. Huzzahs !! Huzzahs ! (talk) 21:45, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shark Week episode(s)?

I understand there were some number of new episodes during 2018 Shark Week with of course a Shark Week theme. I missed them, so I don't know how many there were. These should be added to the special editions section of the article, if anyone knows the particulars. n2xjk (talk) 17:00, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was the first episode of a new 2018 season of Cash Cab. n2xjk (talk) 21:42, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
