    This is the best honourary doctorate degree presentation and speeches that I’ve ever heard! The presenter’s words were heartfelt and touching, and Alex’s speech was not only funny but meaningful as well. He managed to be hilarious without being trite, just fantastic! Congratulations Alex!

    The RUclips algorithm suggested Taskmaster to me early in the pandemic, and I am so glad it did. Alex’s creations have brought a lot of joy. SchoolTasking was news to me, but what a great idea. I tend to think honorary degrees are cheesy, but I understand this is the highest honor the school could give to show their appreciation, and Alex deserves all the appreciation he gets.

As a fan of Taskmaster, I am delighted that the University has recognized the quality and value of a show you have created, and that its reach lies beyond my laptop screen to help students learn ways to cope with the insanity that proliferates our world! Thank You for creating the situations that prompt us to laugh, and thank you even more for your willingness to expand your gifts as a teaching aid to a new generation.

So many moments of joy, experienced by so many people, that can be traced back to Alex and his idea. There's no telling the true extent of his positive impact. People who can make us smile are priceless treasures, we love you as such.
