Alex Horne's HILARIOUS Speech at the National Comedy Awards | Taskmaster

Alex Horne humbly accepts the award for Best Comedy Entertainment Show at the National Comedy Awards.

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.

"You have 10 minutes to prepare a comedy award acceptance speech and 1 minute to deliver the speech. Your time starts now."

On a serious note it is genuinely endearing how Alex really doesn’t like highlighting that this is his show

[rosiebentley]

This is the most Greg the Taskmaster and Little Alex Horne way to accept an award ever

[johnhuffman]

I always love how Greg says "Little Alex Horne", as if "LIttle" is an honorific like Doctor or Mister.

[brandonthompson]

It's so cool to see the previous contestants in the crowd with goofy smiles on their faces and laughing at Little Alex's banger of a speech. Such a good group dynamic they all have together

[Francklyynnnn]

I love how Greg still calls him Little Alex Horne even when he's the second tallest person on stage

[Lolatusername]

Really love that they're still in character even in award shows. Absolutely deserved.

Alex breaks and immediately recovers. Impressive.

[AndersWatches]

I love that Alex, who is usually always seen in suits, is dressed so absurdly casually for the event 😂😂
Congrats on the very deserved win!

[kittykat]

So great hahaha the laughter of the audience says it all... I love Alex pausing at the line about his wife like "oh shit I'm not gonna read this... no I have to"

[robertblackburn]

There’s a beautiful humbleness about Alex Horne, he’s talented in so many ways, a brilliant musician, subtle ego free acting skills and has impeccable comic timing. Love the guy to bits!

[xRiizo]

All the previous contestants in the crowd made this all the better! The fact he went ahead and read it shows true commitment!

[sirslurmusic]

This made my entire day. There is no show on earth more deserving of this reward than Taskmaster. I laughed more at this 3 and a half minute video than I have laughed at anything in a week

[TheTrueDeadFingers]

Seeing that Ed Gamble was present, I wonder whose trousers were stolen during this, and for whom.

Can't wait to find out in a couple series.

[ujai]

Fantastic that the only bit of hesitation came when he talked about his wife. Great stuff.

[kahil]

That one button on Greg's jacket is doing one hell of a job holding it together

[davidscribner]

Alex should be very proud, he created an absolute cultural phenomenon

[obroni]

An additional prize should be awarded to Greg's jacket button for holding-out all through the award ceremony.

[taleswithtrisha]

I'm so glad that the speech was taskmaster-typical! And it was lovely to see some familiar faces in the crowd :)

[nicolezeibari]

I can say that I had the exact same level of joy as Desiree when I watched this.
