Sir Mo Farah's most surprising item... 👀

------------

------------

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.

Mo Farah, of all the "non-comedian" contestants, he *understood* the assignment.

When Greg asked 'do you ever...' I'm sure we all knew immediately what he was talking about.

Mo Farah just seems like the type of person who got really really good at long distance running only to be famous enough to be invited as a special guest on celebrity charity panelshows

[nedcurfman]

Sir Mo seems like one of the loveliest people they’ve ever had on.

What surprised me the most was that he had a practical reason why he owned a hair dryer. I was really expecting it to be some sort of gag gift a friend gave him

Pro-tip: hairdryer will defog your bathroom mirror in seconds.

For those who say that the NYT specials consist of unknowns, I present to them: record-breaking long-distance runner, CBE and the literal most famous contestant in the show's history (in the UK anyway) Sir Mo Farah

Mo was the highlight of this special. He had such golden retriever energy!

[Grayman]

Mo Farah on Taskmaster! Now that's something. very awesome

[KvestionuojuSavoAteiti]

Mo Farah was surprisingly funny and competitive during Taskmaster

[ivenstorm]

a hair dryer is such a versatile tool. Sealing plastic wrap on windows during cold weather for example.

My father, who is also bald, actually owns a comb 😆 So that would sometimes come up as conversations for a joke. He’d also joke about needing one of those clip on bangs haha

[nescaffier]

Hey that's the guy who cheers me on after my Nike Run Club runs lol

[Shazprime]

What a legend. Such an unbelievable athlete.

[PeppermintNightmare]

Either Mo's head is tiny or they have sat him right in between two people with very big heads

[BearlyAiden]

I've kept my hair dryer so my friends can use it when they sleep overs. Though I also learned I can use it when stickers won't come off new bowls.

Watched this clip of Mo, me thinking that BFQ episode with the Mo Farrah Sign

[moogarland]

Wait, is this from a new series that hasn't premiered, yet? Or a special episode? I don't see it on their channel and i wanna know where to watch it!

[meowmixkspen]

He sounds like the actor for newt scamander

[jytali]

I would’ve said, “ well what do you think I use it for?”
