Did I just see Therese on Cash Cab?

[Pregnant Pause]

That Buffalo Soldiers question was phrased so strangely- the first thing I thought was "What? Bob Marley wasn't in the Army!"

No he wasn't, but that would be a hell of a set-up for a comedy.

EDIT: Thought of some possible titles and preferred "Redemption Slob."

Bob Marley leads a crack commando of pot-smoking Navy Seals in "Rasta la Vista, Baby"

No Woman, No Kwai: The Story of a Bridge

Great job posting this one!
OMG, Therese, you were amazing under the pressure.  It was so nice to see you win!!!!

Bob Marley and Jackie Chan star in the Hong Kong-Blaxploitation crossover, "Stand Up for Your Rice."

Alone in the Cash Cab, with one Mobile Shout-Out disaster and two of three strikes on the board, she throws caution to the wind and goes for the video bonus.

Whenever I watch this show, shaking my fist at the "winners" who trade a piece of their integrity for that up-front Ben Bailey bribe, I think to myself a hero like this is just what we need. Therese, you are that hero.

my girlfriend has a crush on Therese now.

Nice!

Therese, did you get EFD a copy of Legend as a souvenir from the Jamaica trip?

[mcphee from the forum]

I tried last time I was in NY. I got into every cab that had a terrible comedian driving it. Wait, let me try that joke again. I got into every cab with a poor man's Mike Rowe driving it. I didn't like that one either... I didn't get on Cash Cab.

I don't think you can actually hail the cash cab. There's some set up -- I forget how it works but it's a pre-arranged ride (though the contestants don't know the cas cab is picking them up).

About six months ago I got in a cab that had crazy bright lights inside and the driver was way too inquisitive and so I thought it was Taxi Cab Confessions or something and then I thought I was probably being paranoid. The driver asked me what I do for a living, so I told him I worked for HBO and then he stopped asking me questions. And then we passed under some bright construction lights and I saw about ten hidden cameras on the passenger sun visor and he said "yeah this is Taxi Cab Confessions." I should've made up some crazy stuff when I started getting suspicious.

Therese was great. Usually when I catch the show the questions seem really easy, but I would've gotten tripped up on more than a couple. I don't know what a "handsome cab" is (you're telling me that ham didn't make a joke about how handsome HIS cab was?) but I did know "Buffellow Soulja."

What a coincidence that you work for HBO!

I've always wondered if the Cash Cab guy gives contestants fake money at the end of the ride, and they just mail you a check later on? I can't imagine being a cabby (televised or otherwise) and carrying over a thousand bucks in cash on you at all times.

Yes.  Read this: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/44460

That was very stressful.

Now I gotta give Evan shit for missing the Bob Marley question. Inexcusable!

Wasn't the Rough Riders Teddy Roosevelt's Cavalry unit?

[ChronoMojo]

It's a shame Mike wasn't in the cab with Therese.  He could make some sort of comment about bringing sexy time to the Discovery Channel.

But, then... I was thinking, Mike should probably be on Cash Cab After Dark.

Or being handed a thousand bucks and then dropped on streets of NYC. The Warriors or The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is an accurate representation of what NYC is like, right?
