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.

Saying businessman is not sexist. Nobody is saying that. She's saying that using businessman by default, regardless of sex, may be sexist.

Just something I kind of agree on with Aisling, calling everything with the suffix "man" is in modern days sexist, you may have your retorts but language is inherently connected with history, and as we are now getting to moderate equality (in developed nations at least but not exclusively) it is not practical linguistically to rename any suffix with "man" to "person", its better to just rename it entirely, yet I doubt that will ever happen, just a thought. Such as renaming businessman to "businesseur" or "businesser" just like "connoisseur" or "_____ worker"
