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.

[@MontyMonferno]

jonnie’s approach to this task (checking under the table, looking for clues around the room, noticing the 85’s around the room etc) shows he’s clearly a fan of the show. such a shame that he wasn’t able to take part in the studio segments (even though it was nice to see Alan again)

[@bigsmall246]

same, but there are close to 300 shot glasses, so depending how much is in each there could be 6 liters of water on that table, even 12 if alex decided to go by the eastern european shot size

[@Baldthazar]

Just wanted to point out that the person saying they have nearly no sense of smell was able to pinpoint the general direction of the vinegar and find it, while the person claiming to have a great sense of smell couldn't find the vinegar despite being almost directly on top of it.

[@SirGofres]

It's very common. Humble, aware people tend to downplay and level everything. Insecure, boastful people try to put themselves over others in strange ways every occasion they have, to stroke their ego. And they exaggerate a lot.

[@left4twenty]

​@@thecommexokidyou'd just add a small sprinkle to each glass, and drink what it reacts with, anything with a bit of acid would react The result of baking soda and vinegar is mostly water and carbon dioxide Other acidic things though, I'm not sure

[@NathanHaaren]

AcTuAlLy 🤓if alcohol beverages are spoilt they can also contain vinegar, so basically you had to drink all alcoholic shots another actually: fruit juice like apple juice often contains around 0.1% alcohol, so since it contains alcohol, there is also a slight possibility to have vinegar in it, so basically you had to drink all juice shots too
