If you ’re read this post , you in all likelihood love small beer and biz show as much of the rest of us_flossers . So chances are you ’ve find out at least one sequence ofCash Cabon Discovery Channel , right ? And luck are you ’ve wondered whether it was rigged or not .

Well , the light reply is no , it ’s not rigged . The more complicated result is : eh , sometimes sorta . mix in with my narrative below , you ’ll obtain seven first - person business relationship I scooped off the vane to give you a readable understanding of how the show , er , bun .

First of all , the cab is a real , licensed cabriolet . While host Ben Bailey is in reality a comedian , he HAS taken and cash in one’s chips the New York City cabbie exam and is a licensed cabriolet driver . The money he hands out is n’t real , but if contestants gain , they ’re sent a actual check after the show airs . ( This is believably done for tax purposes so the internet and the IRS can track the money , lawfully . ) After the contestants fit in to be on the show , a production assistant gets in and sits shotgun . He / she helps Ben along the itinerary , though the interrogative are fed into Ben ’s earphone as he drives .

So what about the contestants ? Well , basically about ½ of them are pre - screened and about ½ are actually randoms off the street . In fact , if you wait closely at the credits at the end , you ’ll notice the billet : " Some contestants have been pre - screened prior to their coming into court on the show . “

So let ’s tackle those contestants first . Here are a couple excerpts from first - person account statement – literal dissident talking about their experiences , most found over onYelp .
