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. - Komedie
Bring Kojey back for a full series. His skepticism and fun attitude made the show.
I would normally agree, but as they point out at the beginning of each New Year's Specials, they only bring on non-comedians for these. The normal series are meant for comedians, and Krishnan Guru Murthy.
Well Taskmaster NZ series 2 had Matt Heath
they did have actors (who weren't comedians) and presenters on full seasons before so it's not that exclusive to comedians. But could aslo just be that he is in the new years treat because he didn't have time for a full season.
@@TheKeebster1 Charlotte Ritchie or Katherine Parkinson from the top of my head aren't comedians either. I'm sure there are many more that aren't that have already competed n TM.
Yeah pls bring him back. his attitude is so fucking funny
As an American, I really appreciate you guys deciding to add the new stuff to CZcams. I was having trouble watching ya'll....legally. And I want to be supportive. This shows awesome.
I have ways to watch it [that i pay for] but they don’t have all the single episodes specials or the champions episodes! Would much rather support via their YT channel !!
Totally agree! So nice to have access to the show, while giving credit to the show.
But we've been able to buy the show on YT. No need now though since they're uploading for free
I back this as a nerdy Mississippian. This brings me such joy.
Im thrilled here! A TM and Dragon's Den cross over
Kojey clearly only came on the show to live his dream of abusing Alex.
And it was beautiful 🎉
Wouldn't we all
Our dream
Having never heard of Lenny rush, during the opening I was like "damn how does that guy have such a youthful face???" And then I paused it, looked him up, and found out he was 14 and was even more confused because it made more sense for a grown man to have a very youthful face than for a 14yo to be on taskmaster
im mostly shocked that he crushed it and was legitimately really, really funny
That's what I was thinking too; imagine if Julian Clary shows up to do Taskmaster and there's a kid sitting on stage
Though it'd honestly be pretty hilarious
@@soylentconsumer420 the little rascal had me gasping for air for laughing too much and too hard
he is a treasure!
@@soylentconsumer420 he absolutely killed it
He has ridiculous comedic timing for a child! He absolutely had me rolling on the prize task XD
petition for kojey to be in a main season he was great
Oh yeah, he was fantastic! I hope both he and Lenny can come back and do a full series. I’d love to see them team up (the already kinda started on this episode).
Commenting to boost ops comment.
I agree!!
Signed
Yes!
You can definitely tell Kojey's a Taskmaster fan.
It's always nice when contestants are fans and thus prepared.
dude was my favorite on this one
he was so sad
i loved it (i kinda suck)
When he talked about the toast during the popping task I immediately thought of a Kiell argument.
It makes it so fun to watch
Kojey should have been on a full series
I would love to see all the same people on a full season. This was great!
Team tasks with this lineup would be hilarious.
@@MaialeenI would love to see Kojey and Lenny on a team!
I would have loved to have seen him and Lenny working as a team!
Kojey and Lenny would kill it on a full series. They're both so charming AND clever!
I adored watching them!
they might need to wait until Lenny's an adult for legal reasons but YES
It maybe sets a bad precedent, but Greg using this opportunity to get revenge for a very petty slight from over a decade ago is hilarious.
I thought it was hilarious, too. But to be honest, it wouldn't have changed much. Compared to the others, the prize still would have surely been in the low end. I could see her getting a point more in the drawing, since Steve's was missing fruit, but the rest had her at the bottom based on how she performed. I thought the best part is she seemed able to take a joke, laughing all the while and really getting into the tasks!
It kinda seemed like her and Greg are genuinely friends so the teasing was stepped up a notch!
It felt like he wasn't really being serious, and then she pulled out a bingo cage
A piece of wet cardboard could have scored higher than something so boring
I also love that it was genuinely a really stupid idea
When Kojey said “huh?” I could totally relate. I often feel like that after I hear the tasks. I didn’t know him before this show, but I love him. He needs to be on a full season.
33:31 "I've had the advantage in that I've used a toaster before"
Greg said the New Year Treat features people that aren't comedians, but Steve might as well be, that was excellent
Felt like a Lee Mack quip
This group were like the randoms that get thrown together at a table at a wedding then all become best friends by the end
Lenny being 14 absolutely stunned me.
He was incredible, had such amazing comedy skills and carried himself with such maturity. It was amazing!
Yeah, I had no idea he wasn't an adult until I checked. I assume the problems that come with his condition made him grow up quicker than his peers
what's wrong with him? Progeria?
He is so quick witted! The "If it's six, I can" and "I hear a lot worse when me mum's driving" were such spot-on bantering!
The beer and cigarettes were awesome. Yeah, that would make for a fun entrance.
I know, I'm so suprised that they'd have someone so young on the show. I was definitely no where near that likeable and funny at 15 lol
16:35. when Koyjey is using all those letters he's not suppose to, is one of the funniest visual gags I have ever seen. This show is so good at these things.
That was such a naturally funny group with so much chemistry. I knew none of them and them being not remotly close to comedians had me worried but now I want 10 episodes with them
Them not being comedians should do the opposite of worrying you, usually regular people are funnier imo.
@@sweetgirl070707 true. It's so hilarious to see them lose their sanity
I soooooo wanted Deborah’s ”Most Fun Thing to be carrying when you enter a room of people you don’t know” to be a Horizontal Glass with a straw coming out of the bottom so you can drink lying down. That would have been epic. Really enjoyed this New Year’s Extra and can’t wait until Season #17!
That would be amazing. I wonder if another contestant will.
COC #3 is being released in the UK January 14th so I imagine we will get to see that first 😃
@@brittanym2288 Ooooo! Thanks for the heads up! That will have to tide me over until S17 episodes start posting.
That was the first thing that came to mind, too!
Me, too, that would have been perfect.
Kojey was MADE for Taskmaster
for real!
We need Kojey's poppadom tshirt in the TM store with the words "you'll put anything in your mouth", instant best seller.
"Well, if it's six then yeah I can beat it." Lenny was fantastic.
something I so appreciate about this show is how inclusive and supportive they are of their guests. in this episode, the popping task has a chair and the live show chairs have armrests. while these adjustments are presumably for Lenny’s accessibility, I love that they gave them to everybody so he wouldn’t seem singled out
I hadn't noticed the armrests on all chairs! Also, at 11:14 it's subtle but possible to see that the text on Deborah's task is bigger than on Steve's task
I've always loved that they include accessibility without making it outside of the norm. The show has done the final task with everyone still in their chairs before, so seeing them do it again is NOT a concession, but just another final task. Although I only learned (via comment section) that Lenny is only 14!! Makes the first prize task a wee bit different.
This comment sums up something I love about Taskmaster, thanks for pointing it out. 😊
The chairs they normally use look so uncomfortable. I know it’s on purpose but thought they would make a concession when Daisy was 8 months pregnant to give her a more comfortable one or with arm rests at least! If they offered & she refused, bet she regretted that in hindsight!
It isn't "inclusive" or "supportive". It's just being decent people and expected of a civilized society. Would not putting a stumbling block in front of a blind person also be "inclusive"?
This whole cast was amazing...In particular Kojey and Lenny were properly hilarious! Big thanks to TM for doing these little mid break treats...
Having team tasks with Kojey and Lenny would be an absolute joy
❤
I really would love to see them both back for a season
Greg always seems so cheerful in the New Years Treat, he even laughed at Alex's joke. Happy Holidays Taskmaster team!
It's probably a welcome respite for him not having to deal with the same group for 10 episodes, lol.
he said it was his BEST banter section!!? Unheard of!
30:28 Alex telling Deborah the toaster was speech operated was gold! 🎉🎉🎉
He reused it from big fat quiz and it was amazing. 😂 I seriously can’t wait to do this on my mom when she gets a bit older 😝
Kojey is AWESOME, I would love to see him on a full series! Lenny Rush for 14 years old has comedy down pat, I am super impressed by him. What a wonderful special!
Holy shit, I was searching the comments on how old he was and that's soo impressive!
I had to google him to check his age. I didn't know if he was just a guy with dwarfism and a young face leaning into it for comedy, or a kid with dwarfism who was using it excellently as a comedic premise. But I'm impressed it was the second.
He did well, looked like he had fun while not taking it too seriously, and he can definitely be proud of his win.
And Kojey was great too, shame he'll probably not be on a full season, because I love his energy. Relaxed and not taking it too seriously, yet fully embracing and enjoying the sillyness of the tasks.
@DyslecticAttack totally! I had to google Lenny's age too. He's such a bright mind I'm excited to see where his career takes him. Very inspired by the little dude. My favorite moment was when he called Alex "pig" and then giggled at himself lol.
wow you know Kojey is a fan when he's put the assistant on a shirt
"can never be bread" wow he's a FAN fan
@@Sam-lr9oiHuh? Was that a reference to something?
@@chloroformcowboy2162 maybe the toaster popping live task but im not sure to be honest:D
@@chloroformcowboy2162A reference to when Kiell said, “Once bread has become toast, it can never be bread again.”
That 'assistant' created, & owns, this show. Greg is his employee!
"I mean, someone going to get arrested off the back of this!"
"It ain't me!"
I love that one of the outtakes you can see steve eat an orange, and he actually does it in 45 seconds.
I would have watched a full 20 episodes with that cast. Kojey and debra in team tasks would have been priceless
We need more Kojey and Lenny.
Agreed! Deborah too!
Immediately in love with Kojey. I'm so sad he probably won't be on for a full series now. I need him and Nicola Coughlan for a full series so much.
Idk any other show that makes the fans feel this important, just providing these on CZcams with very little waiting instead of us all having to get another subscription or something honestly means a lot ❤
Kojey must be given a chance at redemption! The incredulity at the orange task was great!
I'll watch a whole season with Kojey and Lenny
aaawhh what in the actual HECK! this line-up is WAY too good for a one-off special! LOVED them! deborah, what a witty mind! and she really enjoyed it! kojey, what a smooth humor he has, and he's obviously a fan ... always so sharp - i loved his interaction with lenny at the beginning ... so sweet! and lenny, what a gem! a wonderful, bright young man ... he did so good! steve was entertaining to watch and really good at tasking - and on a personal note, obsessed with his rainbow butterfly shirt - lol! and zoe is such a sweetheart! she always seemed to be low-key stressed, but did so well ... haha! and what a final task!!! it was brilliant!!! HURRAY for the winner!!! so happy!
Feels like a good classic TM episode. Good amount of banter, silly tasks, and a variety of good people
I want a full series with this group!!
Also, Kojey and Lenny have the most heartwarming interactions. ❤
It just me or is this most you have ever seen everybody, guests and Greg and Alex, genuinely laughing during the show?
Exactly what I thought. IT really seemed a lot of fun for everyone.
I WANT KOJEY FOR A FULL SEASON. HE’S A GEM ❤😂
The previous three New Year Treat episodes didn't do as much as the regular series for me (probably because the contestants aren't comedians), but this one felt REALLY good, I immediately liked this cast and their chemistry together! Wish there would be a full series with them.
As someone who enjoys drinking and also lying down, Greg’s Horizonta-Glass is the best idea I’ve ever heard
Dont straws basically achieve the desired effect?
(As an inheritor of acid reflux-like issues, I have to less funly but more realistically add:) Except for the whole digestion is properly done right-side-up part 😢
You might have to tilt your head up to drink from a straw. When you’re in an incredibly lazy mood it’s just as bad as having to sit up entirely.
Everyone was great but I'm a bit sad we won't be seeing more of Kogey in a full series.
Kojey Radical is so amazing been a fan of his music for years now. Thank you for bringing him on this program. What a clever man :).
We need more Kojey and Lenny content. Whatever they want to do, detective series, travel show, a team on a Big Fat Quiz, whatever.
I think a buddy heist flick is where it’s at.
I'd never heard of Lenny Rush before but he was absolutely hilarious. Hard to believe he's only 14.
This was a great cast, I didn’t know who any of them were before, lots of chemistry between them
Yeah, the chemistry was good throughout but I particularly loved Lenny and Kojey bonding straight away. They were the two I'd never heard of but ended up my favourite NY show guests.
"I never liked the Horne Section" really made me actually feel bad for Alex. That one was _personal_
It made me feel bad. I love the horne section. Still waiting for the new TV Show season and hoping for more podcast episodes.
It seems that Alex is perfectly okay with you making fun of HIM, just not the people close to him. He got legit upset at Greg that one time for insinuating Alex was critical of his wife, and then this.
dun matter, we all love the Horne Section enough!
Reminds me of the 'longest continuous noise' stage task in series 4.
Lolly Adefope: "That music is awful."
Alex: "It's by the Horne Section"
I’d never heard of Kojey before the cast was announced but he’s very handsome and obviously really cares about it so gotta love him. But I actually loved all five of them.
Lenny is such a talent already at just 14 ❤ what an absolute gem he is. This whole group was delightful
Props for the person that goes on the next season of dragons den pitching a voice controlled toaster 😅
Well done editing team. Inserting Nish's laugh into the pre task had me laugh until I couldn't breathe.
28:07
Thanks for pointing that out lol
Well spotted!! That's especially hilarious since the subtitles described it as "[MANIACAL LAUGH]" Oh Nish...
Kojey and Lenny were great. Lenny was hilarious and I especially liked Kojey's knowledge of the show and Alex's tricks.
Will we ever get a Champion of Champions New Year's Treat? With all the winners of the previous editions. That would be so nice! 😁
If this show is still running in four or five years when Lenny is an adult, y’all would be fools not to have him on for a full series.
I thought Lenny was awesome.
Kojey is SUCH a fan, I love it!! Looking for clues, suspect of a time question, NZ deep cut with an assistant t-shirt ♥️♥️
Wish we had a full season with this group
I enjoy all of the series but I think out of all the treats, this is the best. It's difficult to build good chemistry with such short time but this group did it.
Kojey needs a full season if he is willing! ❤ great episode thanks from Canada
"im really proud of that dont take it away from me" reminded me of Joe Wilkerson from season 1
I thought the same thing!
this whole cast would be great for a season but man I really want Kojey and Lenny to come back. Kojey was so fun to watch
28:07 Nish’s laugh strikes again 😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing catch!
@@BobVerdoes that laugh haunts my dreams lol love him
39:36 😊 it's so nice seeing the role reversal. Greg make the rhymes and alex hiding a laugh. These New years treats are so much more light-hearted
hehe, bonus points for Alex becoming a final prop, 😅 a tool in his own show
@@MedEvil1c The moment i saw that "alex-shaped" silhouette i knew they were either doing a bait and switch (swapping it for a cutout of alex) or greg was just going to attempt to shove alex through that hole. They didn't disappoint. Such a great episode!
@E2O10 so true, the switch, i would love to win/ see a golden Oscar style statuette of Alex or Greg head.
And im sure there is a pun about greg thrusting the objects in there somewhere.
Alex: "Everything has popped."
Kojey: "Except my career." 😂
Is there room on the “Kojey for a full season please” bandwagon? Cause here I come
I seriously need a full series with Kojey. Also I adore Zoe's fashion sense.
We need Kojey on a full season please 😭
Kojey not being on a full season is a travesty. He could be my favorite contestant ever, which is impressive because he has some big shoes to follow.
This is a great batch of contestants. From the prizetask, everyone immediately got a good grasp of the vibe of the show. And as the other tasks went on, everyone loosened up more and had a great dynamic and banter. Everyone's had interesting approaches to the tasks and it appears they had fun.
You always wonder how funny it will be with non-comedians, but I laughed all the way through this.
For me clearly the best NYTreat so far.
Lenny is wickedly funny for only being 14!
It's so unfair that we only get this cast once.
20:04 Very much channeling Kiell here 😎😂 instantly breaks eye contact and just calls Alex out!
Man I want a full season with this group. It was so much fun.
I need Kojey and Ed Gamble on the same series, because they take this equally seriously
Kojey and Lenny need to be on more often
Jack in the Box always amazes me because people continue to be surprised when it pops out. According to the song that they play, the Jack pops out at the word "pop".
I want a full season with Kojey.
I was so sad and anxious today…you managed to put a smile on my face and make my day better :) Thank you so much!
Taskmaster makes everything better. I hope the new year holds good things for you.
I know how you feel. This show is like medicine for me. I’m even rewatching it from the first series. Hang in there.
Deborah Meadon was an absolute treat. I would love to see and entire season with her,
Kojey was exceptional, would really like to have him for a full season!
I vote Lenny and Kojey get on a full series. Who's with me??
There should be a full series with all the 5 contendors. Kojey and lenny were absolute delight . Debbrah's behaving like gen z while talking to a toaster was epic.
Love the subtitles during opening credtis:
HE GRUNTS
HE GRUNTS
...
HE SIGHS
This was genuinely one of my all time favorite episodes!!! The chemistry was amazing
This was my favorite of the new years treat episodes
We need Kojey for a full series! Pleaseplease!
36:33 I wonder if Kojey was quoting Kiell "Once bread becomes toast, it can never be bread again". Love how big a TM fan he is! He needs to be back for a full series to represent us!
28:07 - That's Nish Kumar's laugh from his best noise prize task. omfg
“0nce bread has become toast, it can never be bread again.” Kiell Smith Bynoe
i didnt think anything would make me laugh harder than 6 dancing robot dogs, but lenny with the beer and cigarettes really got me
That T-shirt feeding Alex - chef’s kiss 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I rewatched it immediately, partly because I never encountered any of the contestants before and the first watching I was just getting to know them. On both viewings, I was charmed entirely by the chemistry between Kojey and Lennie - fantastic - and by how each of the five was just so comfortably themselves, in their own skin.
Alex and Greg had such an easy rapport, too.
I was worried how the physicality of the stage task could accommodate Lennie, and delighted when all of that fell on Greg and Alex. Well done!
Also very happy to say if I had the time, I’d Like almost every comment here already! Such positive vibes.
There was something very sweet about Kojey making that t-shirt
I sooooo want to see Kojey on again, he was brilliant!
Treat? more like Panacea for every Pain, emotional, physical, spiritual all dissolve for those few moments while engaged with the screen. Thank You Taskmaster, your elixir was Elysian .
The casting of this show has been impeccable since day one and the new years treats are truly treats!!! I think we all are waiting for our turn to sign the petition for Kojey to be a guest on a full series 😂
I would sign that!
Steve's smile is brighter than my future, the sun and opening an app in light mode in the middle of the night all combined, bless his soul 💖
Kojey could have put up a strong argument that a popped balloon will fit through! It wouldn’t have changed much though.
We DEFINITELY need a whole season with Kojey!!!
I appreciate EVERY episode of Taskmaster!!! Thank you for sharing your silliness!😂❤
We love you so much, not assuming at all that you would put anything on this channel for free.
