Cash Cab was a smashing success, with hundreds of episodes that aired on multiple networks. The Emmy Award winning series seemed to have mass appeal, so where did it go? Why was it cancelled?

We're not the only ones asking, Ben Bailey would like to know why. Bailey joined us on the Friday (1/12/24) edition of the I-95 Morning Show and said:

"But yeah, we won daytime Emmys, I won three as host, we won three for the show, it was a pretty awesome run. It still doesn't make sense that it's gone it's like Discovery canceled it and we were like why? Why would you do this? It's very inexpensive and people are still loving it. All in all we did 16 seasons, we did almost 700 episodes or something. The last ones aired in 2020, we had new deals to shoot for a few more years with Bravo and it all dried up and went away during the pandemic."

Tommy Hilfiger's Former CT Estate Seems Like Something Out of a Movie

This is not a home, it is a friggin palace. What do you do with a house like this? You invite people over to remind them you’re better than they are. You have massive parties; you pay strangers to take care of all the grounds and you beg people to live with you so you’re not lonely. This home is a statement, and the statement is I wanted to buy the Playboy mansion, but someone beat me to it. Check out the unbelievable former Connecticut home of Tommy Hilfiger.
