CASH CAB is back for its 10th season with 26 all-new episodes where unsuspecting passengers become instant contestants on the hit game show on wheels. Hosted by Adam Growe, riders answer trivia to win cash — while wrong answers earn strikes, and three strikes ends the game at the curb. Fan-favourite twists like the Red Light Challenge return, alongside the double-or-nothing finale Cash Cab Karaoke, where contestants must sing for their money or lose it all! Two new episodes air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Much and stream the next day on Crave.
A true Canadian TV icon, Cash Cab is revving up for its biggest, boldest season yet, with a brand-new cab, fresh surprises, and the kind of authentic, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud moments that have made it a fan favourite for a decade. Whether it’s nailing trivia on pop science or pop culture, calling in a last-minute Shout-Out, or belting out a song under pressure, anything can happen once the meter starts running.
This season, the stakes are higher and the rides are wilder. Contestants are real people hailing a real cab, and can still lean on classic lifelines like Mobile, Street, and Social Media Shout-Outs to help their game, but the real showstopper is Cash Cab Karaoke; a high-energy, double-or-nothing finale that turns every ride into a full-blown performance. One wrong note? You could lose it all.
Behind the wheel is beloved host Adam Growe, whose quick wit and infectious energy continue to turn everyday commutes into unforgettable, edge-of-your-seat game show moments.
“It’s an amazing feeling when my ceiling lights go off — especially when I get to surprise people in the Cash Cab who’ve grown up watching the show,” said host Adam Growe. “After 10 seasons, I believe that if you really want to understand what it means to be Canadian, just watch the contestants in the back of my Cash Cab!”
Produced by Castlewood Productions Inc., Cash Cab is directed and series-produced by Richard Rotter, an Emmy-nominated and CSA Award-winning creative known for bringing cinematic flair and emotional punch to unscripted storytelling. The series is executive-produced by Andrew Burnstein, with format licensing and global distribution by All3Media International.

The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada announces that Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor Andrea Martin will be honoured with the prestigious ICON Award at this year’s third annual event on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto.
Few performers have shaped the fabric of comedy like Andrea Martin. From her groundbreaking work on SCTV to her celebrated career on Broadway and across film and television, her artistry has defined eras, influenced generations, and expanded what comedic and dramatic performances can be.
Andrea Martin: 2026 ICON Award Honouree
Moving effortlessly between stage and screen, satire and sincerity, ensemble and lead, Martin has consistently raised the standard of performance, inspiring audieces in Canada and around the world.
From playing Robin in Godspell in Toronto in 1972 in a company that included future stars Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, and Victor Garber; to the juggernaut My Big Fat Greek Wedding film series; to her one-woman show, Andrea Martin: Final Days, Everything Must Go!; Martin has amassed a prolific body of work on stage and screen, both in front and behind the camera, that has earned her two Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards, and a long list of honours, nominations, and accolades awarded over more than five decades, including being named a laureate of the 2024 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
Martin’s iconic role on SCTV started in 1976 when she joined then-unknowns John Candy, Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Harold Ramis, and Joe Flaherty on the beloved Canadian sketch comedy series. Among her many memorable portrayals, Martin most notably brought leapord-wearing station manager Edith Prickley to life, alongside some beloved real-life characterizations.
Her recent work on the acclaimed series Evil, Only Murders in the Building, The Gilded Age, and Overcompensating have only further endeared her to worldwide audiences.
Martin’s enduring influence, unmistakable voice, and commitment to craft have cemented her status as a true Canadian icon, one whose impact on comedy and storytelling continues to resonate across the industry today.
The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada is a first-of-its-kind summit and awards that brings the industry together across television, film, and music to celebrate and recognize the achievements of Canadian women who are driving the industry forward in their respective fields.

ABOUT RUNNING POINT S2
Synopsis: Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is no longer the surprise choice to lead the Los Angeles Waves, she’s the one everyone is watching.

As she tries to balance the pressure of running a franchise with devoting time to her personal life, every decision on and off the court counts.

Audible Inc., the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, today announced its latest Words + Music installment, The Man on The Run, an introspective look into the life and career of Paul McCartney, available today exclusively from Audible. Expanding on Prime Video’s recently released documentary “Man on The Run,” which premiered globally on Prime Video February 27, this three-hour audio experience offers fans a complementary and expanded journey featuring extended interviews between the legendary artist and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville and musical performances selected specifically for this audio experience.
Paul McCartney said: “I don’t normally spend a lot of time looking back but I was flattered when Morgan said he was interested in this period. The first bit of Wings was quite hard work and not very rewarding, but eventually we got some songs under our belts that were hits. Morgan got me to think about stuff I hadn’t thought about for a long time. He was asking all the right questions and I was happy to be transported back.”
Throughout his career, Paul McCartney has distinguished himself as one of the most celebrated musicians in history. But in 1970, when The Beatles ended, he faced his greatest challenge: starting over. In the 42nd installment of Audible’s award-winning Words + Music series, McCartney chronicles that journey through the 1970s, on a mission to trust his creative impulses, no matter where they pointed him, from depression and isolation in Scotland, to his creative rebirth with Linda McCartney, to forming Wings and achieving massive success with Band on the Run. It’s a story of escape, family, music-making, and finding yourself when everything you’ve known falls apart.
This Audible Original is built entirely around his first-person narrative, creating an immersive deep dive into the most transformative period of his life. The interviews were conducted over three years in different locations around the world (Los Angeles, New York, London), designed as conversations rather than formal interviews, allowing thoughts to go where they wanted and uncovering stories never told. This includes a conversation recorded on December 8th, 2025, the 45th anniversary of John Lennon’s murder. McCartney lingers in crucial moments such as his post-Beatles retreat to Scotland, where personal details emerge about building Mary’s baby bed from potato pallets and teaching his children to read. He opens up about his post-Wings years, when painting became a way to process Linda’s illness. His relationship with John Lennon weaves throughout: stories of their reconnection during the bread strike, and a transcendent performance of “Yesterday” with John’s original introduction.
Rachel Ghiazza, Chief Content Officer at Audible, said: “Some artists define an era. Paul McCartney and the Beatles defined what it means to be human. With The Man on the Run, our hope was to give listeners the chance to spend real time with Paul as he brings the past into conversation with the present. It is a profound privilege to present these recordings in their most complete form, and a rare honor to help capture an artist whose music has become part of our shared emotional memory.”
Paul McCartney joins an extensive roster of iconic musicians who have contributed to Audible’s Words + Music series, which blends personal memoir with intimate performances. Previous releases include the Grammy Award-nominated …And Your Ass Will Follow by George Clinton, as well as installments from John Legend, James Taylor, Patti Smith, Snoop Dogg, Eddie Vedder, Yo-Yo Ma, Alanis Morissette, USHER, Smokey Robinson, Rufus Wainwright, Mariah Carey, Elvis Costello, Sting, and more. The acclaimed Words + Music series expanded to MGM+ in 2025 with a visually immersive docuseries featuring live theatrical performances from John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello, and Alanis Morissette.

About Paul McCartney
Born in Liverpool in 1942, Paul McCartney was raised in the city and educated at the Liverpool Institute. Since writing his first song at 14, McCartney has dreamed and dared to be different. Paul’s output has been impossibly prolific and singularly influential crossing many different genres. Paul changed the world forever with The Beatles before going on to continue to push boundaries and make music history with his group Wings and as a solo artist. His most recent solo (and 18th) studio album McCartney III secured the UK Album Chart’s festive Number 1 spot in 2020, furthering his lead as the UK’s most successful album act of all time. In November 2021 Paul released his book, THE LYRICS: 1956 to the Present, recounting his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career – from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. The LYRICS hit Number One on the New York Times Best Seller list, and was named the 2021 Book Of The Year by Barnes & Noble. In November 2025 Paul released Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, an oral history of the Wings era shedding new light on what it was like to be part of one of the most iconic bands of the 1970s. An 19-time Grammy winner and recipient of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards, McCartney’s list of international accolades reads like no other as well as being recognised for decades of philanthropic activities. Equally renowned for his live performances as he is for his song-writing, Paul set the world record for largest paying concert attendance – 184,000 people – in Rio De Janeiro in 1990. A freeman of The City Of Liverpool and Lead Patron of The Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts, Paul McCartney was appointed Fellow of The Royal College of Music in 1995 by The Prince Of Wales. In 1997 Paul McCartney was knighted by H.M. The Queen for his services to music, and in 2017 he was made a Companion Of Honour in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
