Taxi - What Price Bobby?
from The Rank Hosted by The Rank Podcast
👊🚕 John’s back at the Sunshine Garage for Taxi — Season 2, Episode 18: “What Price Bobby?.” This time, Bobby Wheeler (Jeff Conaway) gets a high-stakes break when a well-connected theatrical agent named Nora picks him up in his cab and — impressed by his charm — offers to represent him. What starts as a seemingly legit shot at stardom quickly morphs into something murkier when it becomes clear that Nora’s interest in Bobby might have more to do with his personal appeal than his acting. As his career begins to take off, Bobby finds himself trapped in an uneasy balance: accept the career boost, or preserve his self-respect. When Nora’s motivations become more personal than professional, Bobby decides he can’t take the role of “kept actor.” That decision leads to heartbreak: Nora drops him — harshly. She doesn’t just end the professional relationship — she takes away his self-respect… and his shoes. It’s a harsh wake-up call about ambition, self-worth, and how far someone will go to make it in show business. E-mail your fan questions, comments, and suggestions to [email protected].
