Regis wears black, operating scrubs with neckties made from various 1950s, colored aluminum water tumblers. Show takes place in oversized, yellow Checker cab, large enough to accommodate production equipment, crew and small audience. Compensation is made for oversized scale with candy wrappers, partly-eaten cheeseburgers, crushed coffee cups and other cab trash larger than life. Regis plays various liverymen dressed in various costumes, adjusting height in seat by sitting on city phone books from across country. Contestants are average Joes and Janes trying to find way in world.
Winners can accumulate up to one million dust mites just by sitting in backseat.
