Cabral Richards, better known as Cabbie Richards, is a Canadian sports television personality who is best known for his time on SportsCentre on TSN, a Canadian sports cable television network.

Broadcasting career

Originally an intern at The Score, Richards hosted five-minute segments called Cabbie on the Street from 2001 to 2002.[1][2] After leaving The Score, he joined Sportsnet to produce and host the programs NBAXL and J-Zone, before moving back to The Score in 2005, where he again hosted Cabbie on the Street segments, along with Cabbie Unlimited and Cabbie All Stars.[3] Richards also hosted NBA Court Surfing, before leaving the network again on November 30, 2010. Since 2011, Richards began hosting a weekly segment on TSN's SportsCentre entitled "Cabbie Presents".[4]

Richards was a special correspondent on The Marilyn Denis Show on CTV from 2011 to 2012, where he brought a male perspective to conversations about relationships, while also filing reports with Hollywood actors, musicians and everyday Canadians on the street.[5]

According to Richards, his particular style of journalism – entertain first, inform second – has allowed him to carve out a unique identity.[6] He often initiates physical contact with the people he interviews, a technique that has gotten mixed reactions from interviewees.[7][8]

His unorthodox and animated style however, has endeared him to many of the A-List athletes he's interviewed. These include stars such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Alexander Ovechkin, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.[9] Richards' atypical interviews with Kobe Bryant have garnered particular attention.[10][11] Their frequent collaborations had resulted in the two developing a friendly relationship.[12][13] Richards' interviews have also spanned into the world of entertainment with celebrities such as Will Smith, Hugh Jackman, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, A$AP Rocky & Kendrick Lamar.

Cabbie Presents

Richards hosted and produced Cabbie Presents, a weekly segment which aired Fridays on "Sportscentre" on TSN.[9] "Cabbie Presents" offered a light-hearted slice of life look at professional athletes, with a sketch-based format to the segment.

From 2012 to 2019, Richards also hosted a podcast, "Cabbie Presents: The Podcast", where he interviewed a variety of sports and entertainment stars.[14]

Departure from TSN

Cabbie left TSN on September 6, 2019 to pursue other career aspirations.[15][16] Thereafter, he began co-hosting Bleacher Report's B/R Betting Show alongside expert Kelly Stewart.[17]

Sportsnet

Richards rejoined Sportsnet, which acquired The Score Television Network back in 2012, as its executive producer of sports betting content in 2021.[18]

Voice acting

Richards voiced Zeus and Talbot in the video game, Heavy Metal: Geomatrix.[19]

Personal life

Richards grew up in Toronto, Ontario and attended Galt Collegiate Institute in Cambridge, Ontario.[20] He attended Ryerson University's Radio and Television Art's (RTA) program for three years, leaving before completing his degree.[20]
