    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.

    Julian's dry, weary wit is so perfectly played off of Sam's absurd humor and and Lucy's bright, shiny silliness. I want to watch the three of them on a road trip, preferably solving crimes along the way.

      I find that the contestants that play it more practically/rationally do really well when they’re up against competitors that are too chaotic for their own good. Sam’s chaotic humor for example swings both ways where Greg either really loves it and scores it highly, or really hates it and scores it last place. What’s also really helping Julian is that he’s put up really good prizes that I think Greg genuinely wants and usually takes away 4 to 5 points there. My guess is that Sam won’t be able to reign in his chaos, and it’ll be Sue versus Julian in the race for Greg’s face

      I never knew that trick, but then I was in the worst middle school in my town in the Eastern European 90s and our physics teacher who was an alcoholic allowed us to skip because my bestie was actually good with sciences, so bestie and I would instead go to our hideout at the nearby railroad and drink stolen gin and smoke instead. So I can barely count numbers, lol, but let me try and figure this out with my nonexistent physics ed. So, it works a bit like a chimney, no? Candle burns off oxygen and creates a vacuum, which in turn sucks up the liquid to fill the vacuum, right? Except with a chimney there's a flow, but with a closed off vase, the candle will extinguish once the oxygen runs out. Right?
