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.

She didn’t deserve five points, though. Just because her ex shouldn’t have said her singing was bad it doesn’t mean that it isn’t. It’s O.K. to be bad at some things. She was good at almost all the tasks.

@jackwang9536 Ай бұрын

@@icturner23 No. You need to know Sarah's backstory and why this was SO important to Greg. Sarah got married young, and after several years her husband cruelly breaks her heart and divorces her. She moves back in with her parents, and to recover from heartbreak she joins a comedy writing club in South Shields. And that fortunately led her to the career she has today. The "ex-partner" she refers to is her ex husband. The song is about the loneliness and pain she suffered after her divorce. Greg knows this. And that's why Greg is so amazing, telling that ex-partner of hers to F-off. This isn't about whether she sings like Mariah Carey, this is about a woman who rebuilt her life to become a star on Taskmaster.

@icturner23 I disagree. Even without the backstory, Greg appeared to find Sarah's song, and sweet, vulnerable rendition, emotionally touching. Sarah didn't need pity points.

@@daniellamcgee4251 Only YOU choose to perceive it as pity points. Everyone else perceived it as a validation for Sarah's achievements and a celebration of strength. Remember when Bob Mortimer won a prize task for bringing in a blowing device that measures breathing ability after heart/lung surgery? Or when Dara brought in a chunk of his leg bone? That's why it was important and powerful.

@@jackwang9536 Actually, I was just quoting the multiple comments here by people saying that Greg shouldn"t have given Sarah 'pity points'. So, I was responding to their words.

Everyone needs to know Sarah's backstory and how she got into comedy: Sarah got married at 21, and several years later her husband breaks her heart and cruelly tells her he never loved her. He divorces her and Sarah has to move back home with her parents. She joined a local theater/comedy writing club and she discovered her talent for comedy. And that fortunately led her to the career she has today. The "ex-partner" she refers to is her ex husband. Greg & Alex (and most of the powerhouses in the comedy industry) have great respect for how Sarah built her career from a broken heart. The song is about the loneliness and pain she suffered after her divorce. And that's why Greg is so amazing, telling that ex-partner of hers to F-off. Sarah is wonderful and such an incredible comedy talent, and I loved her so much on Taskmaster.

I've been responding to a lot of comments about Sarah's song because people don't know Sarah's backstory. The ex-partner was her ex-husband who she married at 21. He cruelly divorced her, telling her he never loved her after 7 years of marriage. She had to move back in with her parents. Her song touches on the loneliness and pain of that divorce. After her heartbreak, Sarah joined a local comedy-writing group in Newcastle. And her talent for comedy launched her to Edinburgh several years later, and now she's a star. Greg and Alex both know how she got into comedy, and that's why they honored her. And in a later task, Sarah really melted my heart with the one-minute play that Fern acted. Fern was sitting and talking about all these cats - and those cats represented the souls of the people who died in an old-folks home. Sarah's comedy & writing has just an incredible connection with humanity.
