But I think the fact that we have to guess says a lot.

[@singingchristian]

I think genuineness is the main factor of success for taskmaster. People crave authenticity. That’s why comedy is hard because you almost have to not try to be funny. Put normal be in strange situations or strange people in normal situations and you get comedy. My favorite parts of taskmaster are when you can see Alex laughing on the side. I always prefer that over any parts where he stays in character. That’s why people love to make compilations on KZbin of snl actors breaking character. That authenticity of laughter is contagious.

Really? I've been binging TM the past few weeks and am halfway through series 7 now and the only contestant so far I didn't really like was Romesh. He had a few moment, but over all he was too serious and seemed a bit pissed so much of the time. I don't know any of his other work, so I don't know if that's his style, but I didn't find it very funny and he felt out of place for the show.

[@DoctorLodi]

@@Blixthand that is 100% Romesh’s comedic persona. It’s a bit like if you had Stephen Colbert on Taskmaster in character as he was on Comedy Central. Without the context of the Colbert Report he’d probably just seem like an obnoxious conservative.

I would say Jamali Maddox was the worst contestant/competitor. Not that he's a bad comedian, I think he's super funny. He just looked like he really didn't want to be there the entire time.

I am really worried about the American interviewer asking about ‘the best’, ‘the worst’, ‘the most difficult’, as if it were a competitive show. No, no! It is a quintessentially British show: five people having a go at something, failing, and laughing at how clumsy they are. It is not about scoring points or winning trophies. The points are useless. The trophies are for kicks and giggles. I am really worrying that an American adaptation would be too competitive, or too serious-but maybe those fears are unfounded and they find two hosts and five contestants, none of whom will take themselves seriously.

Taskmaster can never be a big mainstream hit in the US. The whole premise is to accept you're going to look like a total dork (Alex more than anyone) and I feel that's very much an English thing. Some US viewers adore it, but I feel it will be too unfamiliar to a large audience. There has been a US spinoff and it failed miserably because some of the participants wanted to be the hero, and the funniest bits are where they accept the zero.
