In one of TaxACT's Super Bowl 2012 commercial, a couple of businessmen get into a taxi cab. It's tax season, so the duo discuss everybody's least favorite yearly ritual.

After years of dedicated service, William Shatner's Priceline Negotiator persona was killed off in the travel website's Super Bowl 2012 commercial.

So how does the man who's brought travel savings to so many go out?
