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.

The Jon Richardson approach. Make things awkward, get mad, leave.

[@pvkat1982]

Unpopular opinion: Jon wouldn't have that bad of a singing voice if he sang the song legitimately.

[@smilesfordays]

pvkat1982 I’m with you man. It was better than half the people I hear at karaoke.

[@benjaminbernard2942]

I loved him already, hearing him sing just made me love him more.

[@dubl2438]

no ❤️

[@kdb5229]

His mistake was undermining himself by such a show of low confidence. If he’d just let his performance stand for itself, agreed: he did great, I was genuinely impressed.

[@bobidou23]

It's a mark of an excellent film clip that the audience began laughing immediately and intensified its laughter throughout. Iconic

[@bobidou23]

The implication that the blind mice would be wearing sunglasses and carrying walking sticks is fucking brilliant too, and the fact that he reveals subtly rather than in our faces. I'm just obsessed with this clip

Cuz it was quite a cheery nursery rhyme until then.

Jon's nursery rhyme is one of my top moments of this show ever. Had to pause it to calm down from laughing.

[@Jayk-kz7sh]

7:51 that smile on Alex's face is so pure! he looks so happy to have finally broken Jon to the point where he's willing to embarrass himself on TV just to impress the mayor (Jon's singing is very good though! I wouldn't have shamed him for it!) edit: ok apparently it's at 7:39 now, 7:51 takes you to the middle of jon's singing. Either they edited out 10 seconds of the video or I'm just really really bad at telling time

[@regan3873]

Jayk1406 Greg actually says that Jon’s singing was better than Doc’s and Doc agrees.

[@kdb5229]

I get the impression Alex adores Jon. He just smiles so authentically at so much of what he does. Perhaps friends in real life?

[@georgespellvin6859]

The true series 2 winner, if the rabbit task is accounted for traditionally, and the joint champion if the Jon solo task is mooted. All hail.

[@arin2747]

yes, I agree, but, if Jon had won, we would not have seen Katherine's "make a mess and clean it up" on champion of champions, so I think it was worth it. Jon is one of my favorite contestants, but I think we all lucked out that Katherine got to do that task in CoC.

2:24 that little thank you. I felt that 😅

I think the most impressive thing about Jon might be the storage unit he definitely had to rent out in order to be able to store all of his many, many countdown prizes. I'm sure he could have found a KZbin compilation of his most impressive solves somewhere, right?
