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.

If Rhod Gilbert was part of this task, I would legitimately fear for Alex's life.

[stripyshirts]

"Welcome to your new life" was truly the best part of that for me.

"The jazzercise lady was very nice, "
"Wendy? Yeah I know"

[elijahh]

An absolute crime that this doesn't include who won/lost

[Jayk-kzsh]

I don't know what made me laugh harder, Alex's wife saying he was "quite the reverse" of the nude photo, or the actual look of annoyance on Alex's face when he started talking about all the things Lou gave his number to

[mariebastiaens]

I love how all the guys do like stupid, mischievous things and the girls just commit like psychological warfare

Lou signed Alex up for Scientology, once they even think you're remotely interested they will go out of their way to make sure you receive some kind of invitation in every conceivable way.

Knowing Alex has a major hand in designing all the challenges. Don't know if he is sadistic or masochistic.

[jimmygervaisnet]

OMG subscribing Alex to Scientology has got to be the worst lol

[Zippochey]

Alex trying to not break character for 10 minutes straight

[KenneyOz]

On the Danish version of this task, one contestant set "our Alex" 's car for sale online for a very favorable price. At the time the show took place he had just recently changed his phone number because people kept calling about the car.

"Wendy, yes."

That part got me good. Great task.

[eavening]

I don't think an apology works well when you are laughing your head off.

[michaeledmunds]

*Guy walks in with pie and guitar*
Me: "Oh, an apology pie, how nice..."
How wrong was I...

[jannecapelle_art]

the way alex looked genuinely confused and annoyed when greg casually described his red car as "horrible"...peak television. chefs kiss. wow.

[gohawks]

I was really scared that chocolate was a poo...

[scrungybingus]

Greg Davies should’ve won the whole thing just for his comment about Alex’s wife

[ginarufo]

Honestly, this is what is pushing me through this quarantine

[jgg]

"what can I do with a poo"... the age-old question.

[UatuOmega]

This had me confused for a moment because I thought some #Hometasking things got mixed up.
