You remember Mark Malkoff, right? The man who visited 171 Starbucks in a day, lived in an IKEA, and rode a Big Wheel trike down 42nd Street? The comedian's latest stunt is a bit more involved—over the course of 14 hours, he raced all over the city in a single taxi to pick up passengers who requested rides via Facebook and Twitter. The passengers didn't pay, because Malkoff somehow convinced a cabbie to leave the meter running for 14 hours straight, eventually racking up a $468.10 tab. In the process, he manages to end a stranger's relationship, get a shave, and possibly find true love. The taxi, meanwhile, suffered the indignities of being filled with popcorn (literally) and getting plastered with Tony Danza's face. The video: more ›

Riding a Razor Rip Rider 360, Malkoff raced the bus for a mile on 42nd Street, from 10th Avenue to Madison Avenue, being sure to pedal in traffic so as not to get a summons for triking on the sidewalk. Here is his triumphant video: more ›

But when you have a camera and microphone... people might be more willing to help out.
