    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.

    Josh revealed on the Taskmaster Podcast that he filmed all his tasks for Champion of Champions in one day (Bob, Katherine, Noel and Rob did their tasks in two days), and he was exhausted because his baby daughter Pearl arrived a few days earlier. When filming was complete, he returned to the green room at the Taskmaster House to find another Task envelope. Inside the envelope was the text: *"Dear Pearl. Have the best life ever. Your time starts now."* Josh later had the opened envelope framed and hung on his daughter's nursery wall.

      @@kurtsudheim825 key word being "somewhat" - the contestants are under the whimsy and will of Greg for the entire duration, a fact he takes some effort to routinely remind everyone.
      So as long as he can just wave his hand and go "nah I like it better this way" then it's hard for me to put much stock in the voracity of the points system. Its not on par with the significance of points in 8oo10cdc, and even that show it's like... who cares? Sean (may he RIP) lost that show 19 times out of 20 but there's no prizes, they don't keep official tallies... there's no difference for the "contestants" whether they win or lose each week, it's all just a format for the actual show which is comedy. So even there, the points ultimately don't mean anything.
      Its all for a bit of fun, anyway. We're not running national inquiries on Joe's disqualification in the potato toss or Rhods suss qualifications despite visibly failing tasks etc.. as long as we all have a laugh and James has maybe lost his mind a little bit during the process, Greg can do whatever he likes 👍
