| MUMBAI:
The New York-based production and development unit of Lion Television USA has
received an 80-episode order from US broadcaster Discovery for the Cash Cab
series.. Hosted by comedian Ben
Bailey, each half-hour episode sees suspecting commuters step inside a seemingly
ordinary cab. They suddenly discover they are on national television with a chance
to win cash on the way to their destination. As the questions get harder,
they fetch in more money, but if contestants get three questions wrong, they are
kicked out of the cab, before reaching their destination. Lion TV USA executive
VP Tony Tackaberry says, “We are very proud to be receiving another significant
series order from the Discovery Channel. During the last year that Cash Cab
has been on the air, the series has attracted a fanatical viewership that has
grown with the series.” The series’ executive producer Allison
Corn says, “The Discovery Channel has really supported the growth of Cash
Cab from an early cult hit to a full fledged franchise.” |
