Matt lifts the veil on the “spontaneous” “reality” game show Cash Cab, detailing his and his friends experiences being scouted, and finally appearing on the show. Matt writes with a distinct voice and brings the experience clarity and perspective yet keeps you in the suspense of the moment. Other essays in Taken For a Ride: My Night In the Cash Cab involve watching The Price Is Right on the day of the Oklahoma City bombing, spending a Sunday morning waiting to participate in a focus group or workshop or something related to Password, trying to find Carmen Sandiego & more. This is a very literate, very observant, very humorous zine.
