Cash Cab’s Ben Bailey wins 2nd consecutive Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host

Congratulations to stand-up comedian Ben Bailey, who last night won his second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host for his work on Discovery’s Cash Cab.

When the presenters read his name during the live ceremony in Las Vegas, it took a while for Bailey to emerge to accept his award. Why? Turns out he was backstage in the men’s room. No joke. Bailey said so during his acceptance speech, and then again when CBS gave him a chance to talk to the network’s Thank You Cam for YouTube.
