    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.

Taskmaster producers or whoever decides that it should go on youtube know exactly what's up, much respect to them. Any more lesser known panel shows I should know about? I prob know the ones widely available on YT, but maybe there are some hidden gems I don't know yet :o Stuff like this doesn't exist at the same level in the Netherlands, it's just not the same chemistry/humor that the UK has.

      But I'd say WILTY is the best. :) I'd start with "Lee Mack's Keys' and then "Claudia Winkleman's Yoshi' and then just go from there.

      I think it might be because I'm American and not the best at distinguishing regional dialects of the UK, but for some reason Nish sounds a lot like James Acaster to me. According to their respective wiki pages, they aren't from the same area at all.
      Also, at the beginning of this episode when Nish presented his looping laugh CD, I thought that would be an annoyingly awful thing to have but by the end of the episode, his laugh grew on me that now I'm wondering where I can buy that CD!

      I think Tim’s role is more to help write the tasks in a way that leaves room for some out of the box thinking. So stuff like “say you can’t leave the lab, but don’t write down anything about turning the lights on, just cover the light switch in glowing paint and see if anyone works it on”. That and he helps production out once in a while (ie officiating Noel’s marriage to a duck)

      Pretty sure the hat and the crutch both worked on the same principal - as it was used, it was a simple machine (like an ax handle is a simple machine)

      @@Pagliacci_Rex Moving parts is not a prerequisite for machine status. A wedge is a machine, a ramp is a machine, a lever is a machine. Mark used a _lever_ to fling his coconut; the lever happened to be in the form of a hat. It is still clothing, in the same way that a lintel is also a bat, given sufficient impetus.
      Not only was Bob in the same boat, but so was Sally. She just taped some stuff together to (attempt to...) achieve the *exact* same mechanical principle. The only part you could _actually_ call the boys on is the word "Make".

They'll often be be amazed when they say "carrot" and you reveal that you "predicted" they were going to say that (results may vary outside of North America and the UK).

      As someone who has been watching these *cough* less than legally, BE PREPARED. Its all up from here!! They really found their stride in season 4, and seasons 5 and 7 are the best of the show. The tasks are so good but the casts are phenomenal which makes all the difference

    I just love the teamwork that happened when Nish and Sally realized they were painting the same thing 😂

    I'd just like to express that Nish's laugh is one of my favorite things in this world. That is all XD

    2 lesbians , one with invisibility powers , using a strength tester is possibly the most wholesome thing

    when Mark and Alex talking about "you have hat .... is hat a machine?" ..... its so adorable that they are actually old friends. What was in Alex's mind that moment , and what conversations they had afterwards, I wonder.
