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.

Can't wait for Guz' interview. "These questions are silly, brother."

[@clarefrench6806]

With quotes like: "one drop of green and we're off the scene" in his normal doing of tasks, his rhymes for this song should be 👌

oh my god we're getting 5 different annoying songs I AM SO EXCITED

[@TheCheesyNachos]

I hope one of them is a bagpipe

Of COURSE Alex had to do 5 different melodies. That’s how the man rolls.

Perhaps a recorder for VCM...

Alex going into this like 'How long can it possibly take to learn this instrument?" ten minutes before the shoot.

[@myrin265]

the way she cracks up after each question is adorable! i also love how she forces alex to elongate the final high note every time because she has so much to say lmao

[@Spoonie86]

She's so polite - and cheerful, as always!

[@MisterLooKass]

But one question still remains... why is the audio for EVERY season's interviews so quiet?

[@alecbaker51]

I've been wondering the same thing. It was true last season as well. Is it on purpose? Is it somehow unavoidable?

[@Walperion_Paintings]

@@alecbaker51 Yes I wondered the same thing as well. Seems like just a technical glitch, I can't find any artistic justification for that.

[@StormBurnX]

It's not just the interviews. The audio is ALL OVER THE PLACE in their compilation / "best of" type videos, and even sometimes throughout the show itself. I do audio editing for podcast production and notice these things way more than most folks but seriously they need a proper editing team, it's wild.

[@Walperion_Music]

@@StormBurnX Yes I’m a composer and I also notice these things as you do, and you actually don’t really need a big team to hit the “normalize the volume” button lol. :) It just seems they don’t seem to care for some reason. Maybe not enough people notice that anyway, I don’t know...

[@spinal_capped]

Not only is it low, but it gets SUDDENLY FUCKING LOUD without a moment’s notice. I can’t watch these on my TV, otherwise I’ll blow the speakers once it peaks or I start another vid.

[@zaravx]

How did Alan do this without battling an eyelash like it’s the most normal thing ever

[@therewasadisaster]

The Great Battle of the Eyelash

[@richardbeaton7324]

Alan's song was actually not bad that's why , This one starts off as annoying

[@zaravx]

[@grapesofwraith1066]

Alex messed up his part of the song this time around too though!

[@tonythreepies9272]

I so wish they would sell prints of all the Greg portraits from over the years.

[@Tobycek]

Rhod Gilbert probably gets given them all!

[@heidieaston3741]

I agree! I have thought that many times!

[@zeophen]

I like that Desiree is actually trying to sing nicely(and mostly succeeding, that isn't meant to sound negative). If Victoria ends up arguing that rap is a form of singing, and some rap is borderline just spoken word poetry, and some is light on the poetry, so she can 'sing' her responses by talking normally.. It will be the cherry on top proving that song was the perfect medium for this series' interviews.

[@goldenpony822]

Hopefully we'll the perfected argument where one can't just reply "rap isn't really talking normally"

[@daxtonfleming]

I think Victoria will genuinely get into the singing - she's always forcing everyone to sing on Only Connect

[@laluneodyssee4404]

After now seeing 2 of these… Victoria is going to murder Alex

[@LaneyStudios5]

The tune isn't as good as the one they used for Alan

[@GoggledAgog]

Sophomore slump

[@kida4313]

more annoying though!

[@Alguien0101]

I have a question... for you: What. Is. Moss?

[@ruaoneill9050]

I love Desiree!!! Felt so bad when Alex is just like, no more q's please leave. I know it's put on but still I'm watching thinking, awww she wants to be ur friend Alex! 🥺

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Seriously how does he come up with this, and keep a straight face 😂😂😂😂

[@FilmPeak]

I almost never laugh at her jokes but she has such good energy that I feel happy listing to her.

[@SennaAugustus]

If this is a song, then I've never listened to any songs before.

[@FredericaFazbear]

It was open… to interpretation

[@Dylzhaar]

A nice play on "if that was love then it turns out I've never been in love before"

[@realmattdamon]

@@Dylzhaar It was so... in me.

[@mikemack9701]

If you are Zoomer age, "I've never listened to songs before" is very likely true.

[@jake8473]

This is the most Alex Horne thing ever and I hated it almost as much as Greg would have.

[@jk7690]

God Alex is annoying! I love him

[@Czeckie]

no wonder taskmaster doesn't like him

[@videoket]

She has such a lovely personality!

[@yawnberg]

"kind regards" is an excellent way to exit a room.

[@england6013]

Aw! She is so lovely and kind and goes with the flow on everything. Love her

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

Trying her best to break into singing voice. Tune: 😐

[@sharkofjoy]

She's struggling so hard to make it into a real song

[@fwabcaf]

This song annoyed me much more than Alan's... I'm now very excited for the other three!

[@dmeep]

Desiree is just lovely

[@jwtrio]

"i have no more questions for you please leave." Alex is so annoying. Love him so much!!

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

Alan just acts like this is just the usual thing he deals with

[@Walperion_Paintings]

What a calming heavenly melody. I'll listen to that to calmly fall asleep.

[@wongbenyb2679]

Kind regards lol, she does pick up the British news after all these years

[@Lizzo13]

Everyone else loves Morgana, but this right here is why Desiree is my favourite, next to Guz.

I have another comment for you It's in the format of the interview tune

[@cassieruddock]

NO

[@rossmcleod7983]

Thanks for the frikken ear worm Alex.

still not seeing the annoying part, these are great

Thank you and I hate you, for giving my mind a soundtrack for the next two days.

[@juliahelm9893]

Her melody is definitely way more annoying than Alan’s!!!! I quite liked his but this 😱 my ears 😂.

[@a2dsouza]

Wow, even more annoying than Alan's! Amazing. Desiree had it tougher than Alan, I think, because the tempo of her annoying song was a fair bit higher.

[@YoJesusMorales]

This instrument adds to the annoyance factor honestly.

[@prince.mushroom]

at last, a worthy successor to Jeremy Hardy

[@bluejadeblue]

ALSO DESIREE IS SO TALL OH MY GOSH

[@sveniusz]

What she lacks in singing talent she makes up for with enthusiasm.

[@Spoonie86]

She's actually not that bad when she focuses on hitting the notes.

[@bigthecat100]

Little Alex Horne is basically Greg's own Oompa Loompa...

Annoying factor outweighs entertainment factor. Whatever happened to that stylophone enthusiast, Rolf Harris?

I have one gathering dust on the top shelf in my 'music room' and have just checked it; thankfully his grinning mug is not found on the packaging, so I'm guessing mine was bought post-can of worms opening...

"Please, leave."

[@sadrevolution]

Desiree Burch, please write a book. I will read it.

[@NaveenBosco]

Definitely more annoying that Alan's interview.

[@rebeccajackson2862]

I guess that this interview was recorded first. Because Alex went for the annoying music machine at first but probably annoyed himself too much so gave it up for other interviews.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

I disagree because he refined the question here from the more ambiguous What is the meaning of Taskmaster.

Tell me you have perfect pitch without telling me you have perfecr pitch:

Wondering why my comment was deleted... it was a perfectly polite and complementary remark in reply to another complement.

[@mlck24]

I am quite bothered with the line "I have an answer for you". My mind seems to want to include a "JUST" before the "for you". There's that one missing syllable in the original line. Is it just me?

[@carolynnowak3823]

How did they manage to do all the answers? I was annoyed after the first question😂😂😂
