Alex Horne Interviews SAM CAMPBELL | Series 16 | Taskmaster

Sam 'Caravaggio' Campbell picks up the paints for his Series 16 interview with Little Alex Horne.

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.

Sam did the drawing for James in series 7 for the most surprisingly beautiful thing. I love James and knowing he's friends with Sam makes me happy. Two little weirdos together.

"Sam reflects fondly on the experience..." sudden shift of tone as memories surface "... with a feww smalll darrrk moments..."

[AlbertSquareAfterDark]

I don’t know Sam yet but his difficulty in grasping the 3rd person rule and resulting insistence of applying royalty to himself bodes very well for the next ten weeks ❤

[jabbawabs]

Sam sprinting away for no reason within a picture frame is a classic taskmaster tableau.

[LC-leew]

Making Alex smile must be the best feeling in the world.

[celinavivian]

“Cyber bullying” then the little chuckle endears me so much

[sarahspero]

Alex is so tickled by Sam’s whole presence, I love it. 😂

[MaeveDX]

He talks like he forgets what he just said immediately after saying it, I love him

[BD-ylmh]

Fuck yes. The energy he’s gonna bring to the show is going to be magnificent.

I actually think Greg will either genuinely fall in love with him, or try and perform an exorcism on him before the end of the season. I can’t decide which

[burculuks]

The feeling I get from the cast so far is that they probably won't be that good at doing tasks, but very amusing and creative in their failings...😂

[toddthechimeralinguist]

Todd had no idea who Sam is before this video but he now likes Sam a whole great lot.

[TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Every series there are people doubting how good it will be, just because they've never heard of a few of the contestants. I think at this point, we should trust that Alex and the production team know exactly what they're doing.

I've got a Sam Campbell painting in my living room. He used to paint one for a show each night years ago. It's of my old housemates holding a rugby ball while riding a pug

[waterinmyotter]

Sam’s inability to simply replace “I” with “Sam” is baffling 😂

[typerexc]

"The second's nearly over." It would be amazing if that was the only earnest, genius one-liner Alex ever slid in, but they're just everywhere.

[vonwux]

Not come across Sam before but I think he's going to fit in the taskmaster world just fine

[ironwhy]

Sam also made the drawing of James Acaster that was brought in as James' contribution for the "most surprisingly beautiful thing". (Series 7 - Episode 9 - The pendulum draws the eye). - I've got this information from the "Taskmaster Podcast"...

[felinetherapy]

Wow he's quite the artist. Would love to see all finished pictures lined up together!

[atmaximum]

I love how Sam is like, the Alex's type of humor/comedian. He's a pro on poker facing all sorts of other contestants, but with Sam, even something that's not a joke gets to him

[elkayySir]

Surprisingly decent drawing of Alex there.
