Johnny Vegas Interviews Alex Horne | Taskmaster S10

Alex Horne and Johnny Vegas sit down for a chat about Taskmaster series 10, a love of starting fires, and how to wipe.

The series has taken an interesting toll on Johnny's appearance.

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.

Johnny Vegas is the human embodiment of starting a sentence and not knowing how it's going to end.

[jasontodd]

*softly out of nowhere* "Ya like ta start fires doont ya"

[bonkersabouttrainz]

Hearing the folks behind the camera wheezing with laughter towards the end was golden.

[bondfool]

The gentle care with which "Alex" speaks to "Johnny" is beautiful.

[cuervoxy]

"I only killed one dolphin and it had it comin'. And if I write a nice letter to the queen, she'll let me taste swan." Honestly, gold.

[loichameon]

Absolutely brilliant, Johnny took the concept and ran with it so far even Alex lost the plot at times 🤣

[frommeslaemmchen]

the crew in the background trying not to laugh is so hilarious

[MelodicaDude]

Alex trying not to laugh as Johnny goes off on a monologue is everything I needed today

[VIPMaJoR]

I've watched Johnny for years now, many many shows he's been on, and I still cannot figure out if he is a massive genius or a massive lunatic.

[tempaccountformather]

"You mumble. You sing a *lot* of songs we can't get clearance for."

[GoggledAgog]

6:41 "When you weren't killing ducks, you were quacktually quite a good student!"
Had to go back and make sure I had heard that right

[drewyeoman]

“When you weren’t killing ducks you were actually quite a good student”🤣🤣🤣

[Bagofnowt]

I love how especially towards the end you can hear the camera ops pissing themselves

[kyky]

I sincerely hope with all fingers and toes crossed that they do one of these interviews with Bob Mortimer one day

[KrazySnakpod]

The worst thing about this is that with Johnny Vegas, you can never tell what's real and what isn't.

[rikuzenith]

Alex is a 10 year old country boy who's been left alone with his uncle for who knows why. It's very late already, and his drunken uncle has decided to tell him absolutely every story he knows. Little Alex Horne wonders when his parents are going to be back, because he's desperate for a reason to go to sleep. By now, he's running out of ways to react to the stories, as well as ways to steer away from the most awkward ones that he now wishes that he didn't know.

[leoseydoux]

These are the best interviews I've seen in my life

[euphoriantremedy]

The crew's muffled laughter totally made this, so good

[nawdrawg]

This was bloody brilliant, and went unexpectedly deep. Two masters of dry wit and empathy cased in stoic façades.

[singenstattatmen]

This whole concept for the interviews is just brilliant. Would expect nothing less of Little Alex Horne.
