The Emmy award-winning game show Cash Cab is heading to broadcast television. MGM Domestic Television (MGM) announced that it has acquired the U.S. broadcast syndication rights and will be offering the highly sought after series in Fall 2010.
The premise of the hit show places comedic host Ben Bailey, a three-time Emmy Award nominee for Best Game Show Host, behind the wheel of a New York City taxi, where unsuspecting passengers suddenly find themselves on camera in the hot seat being quizzed all the way to their destination. As the meter ticks away, the questions get harder and the cash stakes get higher. But miss three questions, and Ben pulls the Cash Cab over wherever they are and kicks the contestants to the curb.
