Watch every episode of taskmaster your time starts now

There is no "behind the scenes". It is just "what is taskmaster".

The decision to share the complete episodes on youtube was genius, and they got famous all over the world.

Alex was exactly right. Doom-scrolling during the pandemic, I chanced upon this and have watched every episode. Some more than once. The series with Frankie Boyle are some of my faves.

Anyone curious who hasn't seen the show, just look up the clip "Get This Potato In The Golf Hole Without Touching The Green". One of the funniest, most heart wrenching things I've ever seen. If you enjoy that, you're in for a treat.

I absolutely love this show! So grateful they upload full episodes to youtube for us across the pond and around the world to watch!
Even if you don't know who any of the contestants are, you get to know them and love them very quickly!

The other countries Taskmaster are quite good too, especially New Zealand, but Alex and Greg just take it to heights no one else can ever reach. Alex is a genius with the tasks and Greg is just the Taskmaster of Taskmasters!

I've been watching Taskmaster on YouTube since before the pandemic. It is, without a doubt, the most original, most hilarious, most entertaining thing on offer right now. I cannot express how happy it makes me to see them getting a larger and larger audience! This show cannot be contained by a single country. Everybody needs to be watching this.

TM is the only television show I watch. Literally.

[TheOrlandoTrustfull]

It's the only comedy "TV show" worth watching. I'm from England, but I love that they make brand new episodes available for people around the world pretty much immediately.

[SuperlunarNim]

"We've got free cheesecake the other day!" That's how you know you've truly made it.

The lighting for this interview made it look like they were interviewing 2 convicted criminals. 😂😂😂😂

[peterddb]

It’s great to see these guys getting the continued success they deserve.

[shiftywily]

If you're high and spiraling out of control, watch some Taskmaster and you'll be just fine.

[johnlight]

I still yell "James Acaster!!" At random cars!!! 😂😂

[petergilbert]

To be able to look at the call sheet and see Sally Phillips and say "the next task is to give me a special cuddle". Yep. Alex Horne is living the dream.

[lenahummer]

Watched all seasons multiple times, love this show so much ❤️❤️

[patiencekillz]

alex calling chat gpt “chat gtp” really got me

[danmayberry]

Legends. Alex's walk with Bridget Christie left me short of breath.

An absolutely amazing wonderful hilarious show. The British do some great comedy panel shows. Taskmaster. Would I Lie to You. 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. America has nothing like it.
