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.

  • Ed getting mad over a drawing is funny enough, Greg absolutely losing it when he sees how badly he and David bungled it makes it even better.
  • @mlplaura
    "they're very charming, the Irish" That golden line from Phil got completely overshadowed by the utter chaos 😂
  • @martymcflew
    i love how giddy alex gets when contestants lose their shit on his show
  • @CrashSable
    I'm pretty sure they could have let David Baddiel see the picture and draw it directly on the pad without involving Ed and he still would have gotten confused and messed it up.
  • @EatinPaste
    There needs to be a special series where it's James and Rhod vs. Ed and David
  • @D0CT0RECT0C00LR
    james’ “i wanted to be on the girls team really badly” embodies big middle school group project energy
  • @fruchacho
    you can tell Ed Gamble and James Acaster are best friends by how they have such similar visceral responses when dealing with their enemies, David and Rhod
  • @PaddySwan
    Joe's eraser rant was one of the most justified outbursts I've ever seen lol
  • @mrsmirk4495
    Paul Sinha standing by idly holding a barrel with a bemused smile on his face whilst Lou and Iain argue is the best moment of that season
  • @hannahl8
    The fact that Daisy's hippo looked nothing like a hippo makes her genuine anger at Richard even more hilarious. Alex: "Do you remember what your animal is Daisy?" Lol
  • @georgiegan
    That extension task is probably the first time i have seen James Acaster so genuinely angry.
  • @IQsveen
    Joe Thomas: "PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT INTO IT!!!" Also Joe Thomas: "Idontknowwherethatwascomingfromimsorry"
  • @danielrose8305
    8:58 - Missed the best line. "He'll be in a home in a few years" James: “And I will build an extension on that home”
  • @andreewad
    i love that half of these is just rhod gilbert being himself while james is furious about it
  • @tuxedobike4067
    I love the stark contrast in the drawing task. On one hand, there's the three ladies graciously congratulating each other on the passable horse they created with teamwork; on the other, there's Ed and David.
  • To be fair to James acaster, I would have gone A LOT more feral at rhod's actions in that team challenge, that was some impressive self-restraint
  • @marycanary86
    "is it a cubist mens' genitals" wellllllll, he wasnt entirely wrong
  • ok but the moment ian quietly tried to tell lou he was sorry before the cameras came back on was so sweet
