    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.

    It's keeping in line with his M.O.

    There's the book of famous Taskmaster quotes and then there are the Katherine Parkinson quotes that are just to far out there to be featured is this book: "I can't believe I actually didn't think... For a second... That I could blow up the balloons... Didn't occur to me!"

    if it says "pop just two and win" by that logic you could cut out everyone popping more than two balloons and just time how long it took them to pop the first two. also by that logic it shouldn't matter that two balloons were lost since "the" in pop the balloons isn't specifically referring to all the balloons
