This such an awkward vibe, but I love it. Alex is thriving.

[@epichaiku]

I was not expecting this interview to 1. Happen 2. Be so organic and real 3. make my husband say "DO NOT CONTINUE WATCHING THIS WITHOUT ME" when he had to go bring the cat in from the rain mid interview. Please go to London and film it! This was a delight.

[@theTRUTHgroup]

As a Texan, I can confirm that Taskmaster is the greatest gameshow of ALL TIME!!!

[@avysark2034]

And how does, you being Texan particularly, impact financials etc.?

[@theTRUTHgroup]

What does finance have to do with claiming the greatest gameshow of all time?

[@nahuelma97]

@@theTRUTHgroup agreed, but _what _*_does_* you being a Texan have to do with your gameshow judging abilities?

[@theTRUTHgroup]

@@nahuelma97 Nothing in particular. I'm just letting people know that even all the way over here in Texas, we are aware of Taskmaster.

[@JulesK6]

Alex’s quiet comments are hilarious!!

[@ionacoe1864]

"Pop down to Millwall" was never going to get the credit it deserved

[@TheAngieStoned]

At least I wasn't the only one that noticed Like throwing pearls to swine, really.

[@andrewwhite1305]

I love Taskmaster.

[@rortrp]

Guys, this is English sarcasm… get with it.

[@gabrielepresby9120]

My life changed for the better when I met these two.

[@philippawallacedunlop9393]

The only show I watch is Taskmaster, the dynamic between the two is just glorious....

[@johndenverfan]

Greg and Alex are Brilliant ❤❤

[@MedEvil1c]

Props to Alex for wearing matching bracelet even if it's painful.

[@ThomasStClair-zr2lb]

Imagine asking Alex Horne about reality show celebrities.

[@Thisandthat8908]

They use different planes like the Royal family to not ruin succession...

[@isladurrant2015]

Lolos

[@morphunkown]

Just a bunch of lads being friends with each other 😆

[@SeanScottColony]

I love how seriously they take the competition element. 360 respect right there. Hear hear for The Southbank.

[@SupersizedHobbit]

If Greg and Alex ever let anyone “fix” their teeth or neck I will riot.

[@epichaiku]

I will join you.

[@pinkvulpineproductions3463]

I also have horrible teeth (was born without several of adult my teeth) and Alex’s frequent jokes about his teeth have made me much more comfortable with my own smile.

[@SupersizedHobbit]

[@SupersizedHobbit]

@@pinkvulpineproductions3463❤Alex is the best and never trust anyone with perfect teeth!

[@TheAngieStoned]

You're late to the game, mate, Greg already had his done years ago.

[@TheAngieStoned]

I'm utterly heartbroken over the fact that Alex's Millwall gag flew over everyone's heads

[@pip262]

This whole interview was gorgeous!

[@MK-rt2gm]

Sadly, the USA show failed. The Australian and New Zealand shows are fabulous

[@justingreen2432]

Its hularious heraing them banter without an audience laughing because they are such pros they kind of pause after the jokes as if there was an audience laughing. 😂 like.......they know the joke is funny, just give it a moment to set in. 😂

[@epichaiku]

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out because I noticed but also didn't realize.

[@gdave53925_]

Holy super low volume Batman.

[@sambehrmann14]

Yeah and the guy on video is too loud.

[@bobbyboko6317]

Pop down to Millwall 😂

[@TiffaniStarr]

this has everything for me my fave british boys, taskmaster talk, and a taylor swift reference

[@datgrrl5698]

Greg is Welsh...and Alex is english... lazy humans from the states dinnae know the difference...

[@MelissaThompson432]

If I were a pigeon and were shocked unbeknownst by an electrified statue, the very FIRST thing I would do would be empty my bowels.... Also, if the bird is not touching two things of differing potentials, they won't get shocked anyway. If both feet are on Churchill, np.

[@MabDarogan2]

Pigeons can do whatever they like to the statue; it's not electrified

[@informedchoice2249]

The bracelet was obviously made for little Alex Horn.

[@EM2theBee]

Been watching TM on KZbin ever since I first saw it...

[@kaizenweisz2120]

I was born at a young age 😂

[@northernsnow6982]

OK, but when you first watched it, was it on KZbin? 🤔

[@northernsnow6982]

​@@kaizenweisz2120My favourite drinks are liquid.

[@SeanScottColony]

Nasty Nick. Hahahahhahaha

[@haroldsmith3607]

Fanboy questions are so cringy. Alex is a comic genius. Greg is the best at what he does, being Greg.

[@lornaburke7116]

Where has everybody been? This has been on for a long time! Other countries have versions, but the UK version is the best! Be sure to check out Alex Horne's band, too.

[@fatgirlhiking6250]

Minnie Mouse without a head! Lol As a former Walt Disney World, that's nothing. You want to have your childhood ruined? You see Snow White on a smoke break smoking!!! Childhood destroyed. Lol FUN FACT: Expedition Everest is the highest peak in the state of Florida.

[@erinokay9991]

Is anyone feeling like a total hipster wanting to shout from the rooftops... I LIKED THIS SHOW BEFORE IT WAS COOL. XD I am happy for their success though.

[@RealBradMiller]

Me!! I found them when I suddenly remembered the Old Gregg sketch and wanted to see what Noel was up to... Was hooked.. and then got in to QI, 8OO10CDC, WILTY, MTW(RIP)... Also the one with Ian Hislop, I haven't seen a new one in quite a while though.

[@gdave53925_]

Lol saying Jemma Collins is "literally" the treasure of the UK is like saying Snookie is the treasure of the US. And I hate when people say literally when they really mean figuratively.

[@ym10up]

Greg's reaction to that comment is just perfect 😂

[@suzieb8366]

Greg and Alex ... don't betray your Country, stay in the UK where you are loved. Sell it to them but don't host it... com on we need you here!

[@noellenn2122]

Is KZbin the only place for US audience to watch Taskmaster?

[@kteshazamora4823]

Yes it is, and I've been watching since series 1. Best thing I've been watching since Romesh sang 'Tree Wizard '

[@heathershelton9005]

It’s on prime

[@maggiesouza7]

For free yes, but I buy the seasons on prime video :)

[@kteshazamora4823]

I think free is better

[@pinkvulpineproductions3463]

This the best interview I’ve ever seen. I laughed so much the nurses came in to see why my ventilator kept alarming 😂 Um. I need to know hear more about Greg’s historic monument tour. I’ll be there in June, would love to sign up for that. And Alex excitement about being allowing to swear then being so uncomfortable that he whispered a word that isn’t even offensive here😂😂😂

[@erasmuschinhema1082]

imagine an American version with Steve Harvey as the taskmaster and lil dicky as "Alex" or Arnold Schwarzenegger as taskmaster and Kevin Hart as "Alex"

[@TheAngieStoned]

I'd watch the first one!

[@fmm3487]

mine is too tight and it hurts!!!!!

[@misterc5783]

The American upward inflection is the root of much misplaced perception.

[@josefinehansen7569]

I just don't think American comedians fit well with the show. They are too prepared.. they need to be foolish and make fun of themselves not others. I feel like Americans arent as great at improvising

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

Greg really wants some American plastic surgery 😂

[@kteshazamora4823]

Sorry, if you're not all over the show in other countries then why would the two of you be on the American version. We deserve the same respect as Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, and Norway. Haven't seen you on any of those shows. Yes, I know Greg appeared on an episode of the New Zealand series. I am a huge fan.

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

I think we should keep Alex, but have Greg hand him over to Margaret Cho via a patent leather leash and collar.

[@Elwaves2925]

I seriously don't think they would appear on a new US version. I suspect it was just an off the cuff comment. I know Alex appeared on the earlier US attempt but these days it would be far too much work for both of them. Not just with TM but all the other things they do.

[@kteshazamora4823]

Except Alex was on the first U.S. attempt that flopped miserably. And no offense to Reggie Watts but also wrong for the show. We enough funny intelligent

[@kteshazamora4823]

We have enough funny, intelligent comedians that would be better for it.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@kteshazamora4823 I don't know American comedians well enough to suggest who should be picked (if it was ever attempted again) but they should both be from the home country. It's how it works for all the other countries with TM.
