    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 taken me until now to realize, but Alex is just pulling a quick one on the contestants. Usually the point would be for such a game to gave him guess the person based on the answers to the twenty questions... but asking about the identity of the actual person is an obvious no-go for that kind of game. Yet the way he ends his questions session (19 is 'Is your person X', and 20 is 'Who is your person') makes contestants think he has made his final determination so they'll answer. All the other weird questions inbetween just distract the crap out of the contestants for them to be thrown off balance on the concept of the game itself. Alex being so low-key victorious about his guess by displaying the task reinforces this for me: if this was a studio task, I imagine there to be banter about everyone just letting him win.
    I'm not sure if I've seen all the videos of this series, but I really hope one of the contestants is going to be like 'I am not telling you' at the final question, or at the very least answer in a round-about way ('my hero', 'a very handsome man', etc.) to get one over on Alex. xD
