Ben Bailey, otherwise known as "the Cash Cab guy," tells all on the misadventures of being everyone's favorite game show host. Between fights in the middle of a Third Avenue traffic jam and dealing with the constant reminder that he is, in fact, bigger in person than on the TV screen, Bailey serves up his version of the behind-the-scenes madness. When he's not hosting "Cash Cab," he's wondering how Google became that obnoxious friend who won't let you finish a story and how nearly flightless birds live pretty unfortunate lives.
