Talking Taxi

Talking Taxi was a campaign which featured recorded voice messages in all of New York City's over 12,000 taxis, featuring various celebrities reminding passengers to buckle their seatbelts and take a receipt for their ride. The campaign began in 1997. The final celebrity voice rotation, which appeared in 2001, featured Elmo (as voiced by Kevin Clash) among the voices.

A fictionalized depiction of Clash recording his voice-over appeared in an episode of the television series Deadline.
