Cabral Richards, colloquially known as Cabbie, is a TV personality featured on Canada's major sports news update station, The Score. He primarily deals with sports-related interviews and trivia, but his shows Cabbie on the Street (Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:40pm ET), and the more recently launched Cabbie Unlimited (Sunday 7:30pm ET, Tuesday 7:30pm ET, Friday 7:30pm ET, and Saturday 11:30am ET) have a tendancy to delve into any recent affair, or major goings on in the world in general. The Cabbie on the Street segment is a part of the Score Tonight, a sports highlight show, and is followed by one of the following segments: Plays of the Week, Play of the Night, or the Dirty Dozen. The Score's official website states that Cabbie on the Street is currently the station's most recognizable feature program.[1]
Cabbie takes a relaxed approach to interviewing, often poking fun at himself to make the guest open up. He once stated that he frequently touches people during interviews because he heard it was a disarming mechanism. He has interviewed many prestigeous athletes, including Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Charles Barkley, Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, Damon Allen and Mario Lemieux.
His signature sign off at the end of Cabbie on the Street is "So that's it for me. I'm Cabbie, I'm on the street, and I'm with my man 'B' (cameraman Bryan Roy) ... and I'm with my man 'D' (producer David Krikst) ... and I'm gone."
