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.

It's amazing how Guz can revert to being five years old in less than a second. Absolutely love the guy.

[@heinshaaine8153]

I really cant believe that this guy is like 35 years old...

[@ruaoneill9050]

I can. But that's cuz I'm 35 and still think like him 😂 But just the childlike part, not the comic genius part!

[@MyNameIsNeutron]

Especially considering this is the oldest that the youngest contestant on a series has been.

[@robsupreme]

Best one so far 👊🏻 Guz was well up for it 😂 “Yea… Alan Davies… 😏… Curly hair and all kinds of shit.”

[@viksabro1514]

The utter disappointment Guz had on his face when Alex said Alan Davies

[@LanceMannion]

I gotta be honest. I was disappointed too. Morgana, just for the Father Christmas stuff in the first episode of the season.

[@sharkofjoy]

without even thinking Alex answered immediately

[@jojoyear]

@@LanceMannion the hell? You trippin hard. It's very obviously Vicky.

[@LanceMannion]

@@jojoyear The whole cast is great this season. Victoria is one of my favs, just for the joy of learning how to ride a bike. She turned into a 5 year old on screen in seconds. That alone would have made her the right answer for Alex. I'm just saying the look and tone of Morgana's for the Father Christmas stuff was funny and... you know.

[@chosethebluepill]

And my face screamed 'SAME HERE'. They're all pretty great though, no wrong answers! I was just sure I would like Morgana and even VCM to an extent, Desiree was as cool as I expected, but Alan (and Gus as well) surprised me. Even though I've seen QI, he's even more lovable here.

[@GabeStrenke]

Guz - "ahh, Alex wants to interview me, this is gonna be lame" Alex - "In the form of a song" Guz - Absolute glee*

[@therranolleo468]

all the friendship they built up throughout that 5 mins using songs, Guz calling Alex bros and all...gone, reduced to dust because of "Alan Davies"

[@curioushoodie]

After that whole space hopper slapping incident, he really believed in their friendship!

[@kida4313]

Alan Davis. Heartbreak.

[@smilesfordays]

I love how Guz accepted how the lighthearted mood was intended. I have fallen in love with him.

[@smilesfordays]

That Allen Davis answer was devastating.

[@mello2365]

Aw, clearly Guz loves Alex and wants Alex to look at him the way he looks at Alex.

[@Jambobist]

If you freeze it at 4:48 you can pinpoint the exact second his heart rips in half.

[@davidgrenier]

Alex did not choo-choo-choose him.

[@ruaoneill9050]

Loving the Simsons refs 💜🖤💜🖤

[@sherryxia8362]

Aww Guz!

[@davidgrenier]

I adore Guz so much. He seems like the type of guy that people think is "scary" because of his size but is really just a giant teddy bear. I also really want to know if that bit at the end was planned or not, because if it wasn't and Alex answered that quickly it's like super amazing comedy chops. If I were him there would have been a long silence as I tried to decide which was the funniest answer and then it would be too late.

[@jonjon2222]

You basically only have two choices. Either you say Guz and it’s not funny. Or you say anyone else and it is. I think Alex just said the first name that came to his mind. :)

[@MrShenhai]

Alan Davies felt like the natural answer because his last name rhymes with "series" and it just sounds right lyric-wise. But then again, I probably would not have though of it on the spot either.

[@AlxThSeal]

His size? He's not a very big guy

[@PeteHope]

Listen to The Horne Section Podcast and you'll realise that Alex Horne is just a comedy genius

[@mtisya]

@@AlxThSeal didn’t really mean size but let’s move on

[@tjvogelaar]

He's so considerate of lactose intolerant people, how nice

[@TheLemonpeal]

Guz’s answers were all SICK!

[@MotoActionADV]

but not ill

[@rishabhpb]

@@MotoActionADV if Taskmaster was made in the 90s, "sick" and "ill" would be interchanged in this context

[@TheLemonpeal]

Not ill…… like really good.

[@tesisau123]

Well that sure took a turn 🤣🤣🤣 someone finally shows Alex some love and he doesn't reciprocate lol The best of all the interviews. Fully thought Guz was gonna go R&B for a sec there lol

[@miriam4235]

Dang, I never would've thought Alex would be so savage.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Series 12 was my favorite and i loved the whole cast but Guz was the major standout for me. Such a charming, hilarious dude.

[@PaulPistore]

Guz killed it! Guz is the best interviewso far. He's completely raised the bar. I think he'll go very, very far!

[@parkashrawat]

Last time I said that Victoria's Interview was the best so far, but Guz easily bested that.

[@kisbie]

It slightly annoys me they’ve deviated from the alphabetical order in the uploads, but maybe they’re building in terms of how funny they were. This was definitely the best yet.

[@whythenumber]

Not to be dramatic but guz is for sure my favourite ever taskmaster contestant

[@Estlib]

dunno, acaster seems to be just slightly better imo. though both up there for sure

[@glennd.3929]

don't forget about wozniac

[@SpoookiePoookie]

​@@glennd.3929 I did like Mike Wozniac and I'm sure he's a great person but idk... something about the ultra-British, Victorian, old sport-ness of his persona isn't my favourite. It's totally unfair to project but I feel like in an alternate universe there's a genial colonizer version of him. I jive much more with James and Guz's chaotic energy. Am I the only one who feels that way though?

[@watchwatchlalala]

You're not wrong. He's perfect.

[@stephen300o6]

Second only to the mighty Bob

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

If this is how Alex interviews all potential contestants I don't see how anybody could top Guz. Not only amazing enthusiasm and humor but legitimately good answers.

[@adeletaylor6143]

I love him genuinely and deeply

[@Saltywinterchild]

I would love to hear Guz on the Horne Section podcast. The way he sang "indigestion" & the bed story sent me 😆

[@sleepnomore6065]

I'm dying over the bed story...

[@karlakelly8810]

GUZ IS LIFE!!!!! I think Alex really enjoys Guz; check out how many times Alex drops his persona and laughs or his face turns pinky-red or he matches Guz’s child-like energy like in the football goal task. Guz is my new favorite contestant replacing James Acaster. Also, figure out a way to get TM in the US...GBBO did and look at how it improved humanity. Cheers!

[@davidgrenier]

I know! That horrible one season on Comedy Central should be forgotten, and people shouldn't point to that to say Taskmaster "could never work here." I would absolutely love to see the UK and NZ versions on a major service like Netflix or Hulu, and then have Avalon do another go at a US version.

[@shanustheanus]

@@davidgrenier taskmaster US failed abysmally. But you're both right and wrong with saying that doesn't mean it could never work. The idea is simple enough to execute, but advertising or commercials in the states hinders the format drastically. There simply isn't enough time to air the tasks in a rewarding way. Unless they can find a network that will do it with less adverts, they're screwed.

[@WhatTheHell919]

Americans don't deserve Taskmaster

[@bullbandit2799]

@@davidgrenier They should just let Greg and Alex do the US version ;)

[@cyfr88]

As much as I love Reggie, he was the wrong choice for Taskmaster USA. The program needs a stronger willed Taskmaster sitting in the chair (more assertive/dominant) Especially in the USA where people are hyper competitive and emotionally charged. Which is the other main reason Taskmaster USA failed. The majority of contestants did not understand the spirit of it and weren't willing to make fun of themselves enough. Lisa Lampanelli was often mean spirited and not humorous and Kate made everything about feminism

[@ruffshots]

This is my favorite series of interviews of all the series, and Guz is just a goddamn delight! But holy crap, that last answer back by Alex!!!

[@MisterItchy]

I believe this advice is good for anyone ... if you don't want to know the answer, don't ask the question. Poor Guz!

[@mfa8000]

Most people want to know the answer, hence they ask the question 😅

[@sherryxia8362]

Well duh

[@MrAndyStenz]

“Alan Davis” 😂😂😂 Oh, I’m dying, Alex

[@edwarda4287]

Guz was incredibly awesome with his responses! I would give him 5 points because he was really getting into it. Aww but what heartbreak when Alex answered Alan Davies. Hang in there Guz, I got your back! 👍

[@jopomeister]

God I love this series. Knew Guz would completely vibe with this one

[@joy3043]

Damn, that was so good! Guz, you really killed this task... I lost it several times. 😂 Props to Alex for doing his best to hold it together.

[@bellebellerose]

Guz is an absolutely OG. I hope he reads all these comments of love

[@OisinPorter]

Yep... Finally caught myself humming this! Probably never be able to hear someone say "I have a question for you" without it repeating to the tune in my head. I couldn't be happier.

[@Spoonie86]

The part about the biggest item he's thrown out of a window was great music - almost like a rap flow!

[@turdl38]

"Am I your favorite?" "No screw you." lol.

[@Gragore]

it's amazing how different everything can look with HD cameras.

[@EagleScopes]

this is my favorite Interview so far, Absolutely love him

[@katiekat470]

I had such low hopes for Guz before the series started because I knew literally nothing about him, but I’m pretty sure he’s my favourite now 😍

[@Tommysimonsen]

UK Grime have come a long way. 3:35

[@diehoffart]

he loves portraits of himself and making people look more like him. OF COURSE he's gonna love singing about himself 😂👌

[@myps4vaultofbanter87]

Absolute on point delivery from Alex. Just a single *ding* and a straight, Alan Davies. No music or nothing. Classic Alex!

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Guz is the part of British society I'm not deeply ashamed of. Thanks for existing Guz!

[@katieadams2837]

The flow at 3:40, honestly great! Oh my gosh, and again at 4:08 - amazing.

[@RyanSpringer1984]

Ever heard of Blind Fury?

[@pooroldnostradamus]

Those were some sick bars. Not like “ill”, but “good”

[@BoyPadForDan]

I think Guz is my favorite contestant of all time. Series 12 in general has been so strong so far!!

[@belufos4225]

This interviews are saving my life. Bless you, Alex

[@lnfreeman]

Hes right, you know: It's very much a show about Human Flow

[@Pepperpotk]

How could you break my boy's heart like that!?

[@danielhughes2697]

Never knew cheese was good for my knees. Fantastic. Thanks Guz!

[@thejobbernowl]

He's having so much fun haha. Love Guz!

[@jacobbeckham6531]

Alex didn't even follow the format of answering Guz's question... Just adding insult to injury. I hope Guz wins now. I was rooting for Morgana, but this felt like a personal attack from the TM assistant.

[@CthulhuInc]

i've watched all the interviews from this season so far, and i still haven't heard an annoying song!

[@thechillindude4478]

Deseree's one was horrific, but that was only due to the instrument alex used

[@ruaoneill9050]

My absolute fave so far, Guz and Alex were genuinely jamming!!!

[@ShortMan_123]

This is the best one by far

[@RandAmonium]

Best song interview so far

[@jessesutton7985]

Guz has been a pleasure to watch all series. Even when he's sending updates from the lab, he's great. Alex is an absolute sociopath.

[@radicalpaddyo]

Rooting for Guz

[@jellybabyace]

this is not annoying actually, enjoyed it really much

[@KN-xl6lw]

This is a revelation

[@bendaniel2271]

If Guz were 10 years older he'd be like "they are all sick, as in ill , but not as in 'unwell'.

[@shadowbrine114]

I really wish these were part of the show, like in the first episode of each series, they're too funny for their own good

[@sianvaladian8574]

Oh I have been waiting for this so much

[@misterc5783]

More merch than the Kardashians.

[@MrAndyStenz]

Ok, this one is the best so far.

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

Guz is definitely one of my favorites

[@cloaking111]

Guz is awesome!

[@marmarballz]

Oh how I LOVE Guz. He is my favorite.

[@mzmamamiavirgo]

Best one (of the musical interviews ) yet! 🤣👏🤣👏

[@oscarshapely]

ALL interviews should be conducted like this.

[@mm-qd1ho]

Brilliant!

[@njr582]

Amazing how no one after 6 episodes seems to notice that Guzz pronounces his name differently than everyone else. I wonder who's got it right?

[@MagicTimeTravel]

I honestly think it's just him being Brummie

[@rishabhpb]

@@Saltywinterchild it's Ghulam, not Gustavo lmao

[@elliewilliams-pleace2730]

[@Sabrina-jl4sp]

Guz is my favorite contestant

[@megalogoro6388]

Gus just puts a smile on my face :)

[@cannibalbananas]

Lol! I miss being able to watch the full episodes. I'll either have to purchase a streaming service or wait til Alex puts more seasons up on YT. This is a great show 👍

[@YvanTDF]

Guz is awesome

[@alexblake4167]

Guz is definitely my favourite.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

[@9Paprika]

Damn Guz be killing it. I really hope he wins, or Desire

[@matthewvernon3774]

Looking forward to Morgana's interview! If she gets through the song without swearing I'll be disappointed. 😄

[@swapsplat]

that was fantasic. Guz is by far my favorite of this series.

Guz gets the best greg points from all the undeserved points from past games! i love it! guz is great
