      Pretty much and that’s why I love it, you get a homely feel when you switch from 8 out of ten cats does countdown to Big fat quiz of the year to qi to taskmaster and so on. And see all the familiar faces you love on different shows. Makes you really feel like apart of a community.

    • @tonyhawk123

      Shows like this are side-gig hash-up conventions for comedians who have or have had their own shows, so i can see how it feels that way.

    • @Buckethead004
      @Buckethead004 Před 3 lety +205

      Thats because all of those shows use comedians signed up to talent company Avalon. As a comedian if you sign with them you get to appear on all these shows and increase your visibility.

      TM schtick rely on this, and If any adaptation fail this. It would not be a great TM.
      For American version, set aside participant or narration nature of it. The taskmaster is a nice person who is not commandeering enough and talk less so Alex horne have to pretty much carry the show which is a bad formula so for only this fact that would be bad TM. And then you count everything I set aside it become a extra shit show that fail miserably.
