In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

Pro tip: when you need to show your socks/shoes, you need to lift your leg behind, not in the front. You know, the way the human knee anatomically bends. I know this, because I used to work at a place where we needed to see the sole of the shoes of the customers. For some weird reason, they all tried to do a standing split, until we directed them to raise their heel towards their bums instead of tearing their hamstrings. I also know this because I'm a human myself.

That the Taskmaster's (Napoleon's) assistant would wind up as the king of Sweden is a mad tight, historical deep-cut. I'm here for it.

@deepowls 8 ай бұрын

I, too, am here for that solid House of Bernadotte joke. The problem is that Napoleon wanted the Danish King Frederick VI to become King of Sweden, not Bernadotte. Then he wanted his adopted stepson or another one of his blood relatives. Napoleon did eventually come around to supporting Bernadotte's candidacy. Of course, Bernadotte repaid him for his support by being a main driving force in creating the Sixth Coalition that ultimately defeated Napoleon. I don't see Alex displeasing the Taskmaster like that. OTOH, if he were King of Sweden, maybe he could fix Bäst i Test (aka Swedish Taskmaster) so they'd stop doing the annoying rotating guest contestant every week format.

These rare videos where it's just Alex Horne makes you realize just how much he makes this show great. He's got this really amazing dry humor and is amazing at coming up with really funny stuff on the fly; he just kind of slips in all these little jokes that catch you off guard. That humor also shines through the tasks he writes and they have just the right balance of being funny, wholesome, and a little bit annoying. He started this show and I think the show would quickly end without him running it; I hope he keeps doing it for years to come.

"When a studio task fails, thats the climax of the show" Honestly and truly, one of the best moments of the American television show "Monster Garage" was their first failure. The human element can make or break a show, and Taskmaster is a show all about the human element. Those few failures, while they are failures, reinforce the show's humanity.

@noatrope 8 ай бұрын

The problem is that tasks don't fail because no one succeeds, they fail because they aren't entertaining to watch, and I think there are more ways for a studio task to go wrong (because they have to be fast, with less room for different approaches, and are heavily dependent on chemistry) and feel worse when they do (because ending the episode on a sour note feels worse).

They try to arrange them so that each contestant wins at least one episode, even manipulating prize task scores and other such subjective ranking. The live task, however, can really throw a wrench in that since it isn't pre-recorded and thus the outcome already determined.

@RTGrimmer 7 ай бұрын

Coming from an international viewer, I hope they continue to feature guests who are lesser known. Some of my favorite performances have been by people I had not known before watching Taskmaster, and I've gone on to enjoy their other work. "I don't know those people" is fine, and I get that you want to have someone in the cast who is more established to play alongside the obscure and the newbies, but I think that it's more important how their personalities interplay with each other rather than for them to be well-known already. And maybe Taskmaster is the thing that makes them known!

I mean the series does heavily depend on if you like the people involved, but yeah there are some great surprises like I had no idea about Mike Wozniak or Charlotte Ritchie and loved them both.
