Alex Russo was born the Sunshine Cab Company's cab #804. Not only is that the same company that the series Taxi revolves around, but that exact cab was part of a season 1 two-part episode entitled "Memories of Cab 804" in which the cabbies recollect all of the memorable events that took place while they drove that cab. In Part 2, Alex Reiger (played by Judd Hirsch) recalls the time a woman gave birth in the back of the cab.
