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.

Nick very meekly saying "um🥺... I don't think I've done this one right 😥" has me CACKLING

[yuyu_omni]

Subtitles for john "reads welsh" subtitle for joanne "attempts to read welsh"

[BeccaB]

The audience member who shouted, “Inflation!” should get 5 points.

Jon is the competitor I would want to be like. Nick is the competitor I would actually be like.

''Clear the Knappett!'' - John is such a fan ❤

[super-mollio]

Yet again, still expertly editing out the vampire's reflection.

[Pailzor]

"A Gutter of Gregs" would have been a great episode title.

[SaintSara]

"I don't know what this is gaining me" had me in stitches for a solid 5 mins 😂😂😂 Nick is becoming one of my favorite contestants of all time

[lorihopkins]

Sophie’s mid air picture is actually really good! I could see it as the back of a Taskmaster deck of playing cards

[sophiusdynami]

Oh no John has triggered Greg's "If he wants it that bad, I am not giving it to him" reflex.

[kewlwarez]

Surprising nobody brought in the same photo as Rhod Gilbert used to bring for the prize task.

[JacktheRah]

I love how Taskmaster really always makes you go from "Oh I miss the old cast, who are the new ones? I don't know any of them" to "Holy shit these people are hilarious and I love them all" within a handful of episodes.

It is sweet that Horne created a job where he gets to play in the garden with his friends

[homagetogorto]

John Kearns is leaving quite a legacy! First his car trip sailor's hat in the barge task and now his business card on a Welsh tie.

[notme]

For "bear an impressive load", my first thought was I'd put Alex on my shoulders. Then I realized that's just setting Greg up to say "I don't find Alex impressive."

[ghost.orchid]

"Come on, Linda."
" Nick."
Why didn't that get a laugh? 😂😂

[charlietighe]

21:39 editing the reflection out is beyond brilliant.

[brittanym]

I swear when John yelled “Clear the Knappett!” TM fans across the world all fell even further in love with this glorious man ❤

[super-mollio]

"Good Luck, Nick." - Greg whispers to his (obvious) s17 crush. He wants to go to a brunch with that man so badly it's killing me.

[Milbrandt]

idk why, but Alex as a pigeon makes so much sense
