Alex Horne Interviews SAM CAMPBELL | Series 16 | Taskmaster

[@rachellesawyer6523]

I always love it when Sam makes himself laugh

[@scotttocs]

4:32 that's all folks

[@audreyh.7930]

this genuinely made me laugh out loud thank you so much

[@dougthemoleman]

Wow, that portrait worked out much better than anyone expected, I bet. The fact that he managed that despite all the distraction is very impressive indeed.

[@canoli72]

Sam has a tremendous “sophomore in high school” energy about him. 😂🎉😊

[@cyberwomble7524]

"Sam reflects fondly on the experience..." sudden shift of tone as memories surface "... with a feww smalll darrrk moments..."

[@buggyboogle9]

When he said, “Sam complies.” I was reminded of “the Dude abides.”

[@skelelizzi]

Sams brain is so quick and strange i love it

[@alexandersage967]

Never forget "I'm just glad I'm being talked about"

[@waterinmyotter6245]

Sam’s inability to simply replace “I” with “Sam” is baffling 😂

[@DesignRobPearce]

I reckon he knows what he’s doing lol

[@lmrharper3586]

Hhmm let me interview you.

[@DrMarv]

holy shit. great portrait!

[@sarahspero9772]

Alex is so tickled by Sam’s whole presence, I love it. 😂

[@seangates900]

Who loves it?

[@KickassUncle]

@@seangates900 They do.

[@morganchatham7104]

The drawing was so good stop

[@celinavivian1162]

“Cyber bullying” then the little chuckle endears me so much

[@michellekleber1937]

I never thought about how the contestants don’t meet Greg until filming and it has both blown my mind and I feel so dumb for not realizing that until now.

[@LC-le9ew]

Making Alex smile must be the best feeling in the world.

[@Erin-000]

I wish I could. I can only imagine the pure joy. I wish I was amongst these people.

[@AlbertSquareAfterDark]

I don’t know Sam yet but his difficulty in grasping the 3rd person rule and resulting insistence of applying royalty to himself bodes very well for the next ten weeks ❤

[@emmafrost1210]

Who doesn't know Sam yet?

[@danieldaponte1819]

Aarrrghh! HE, the royal master... HE doesn't know Sam yet!

[@AL-fl4jk]

I genuinely think he forgot his name for a sec

[@egilide]

he was quoting the big lebowski i think. he did call himself 'the dude' a few times as well

[@SerendipityChild]

He's probably never talked about himself in 3rd person before

[@chrissparkes6497]

Sam is nothing less than awesome! Funny guy and he doesn’t even feel like he’s forcing jokes ❤

[@jabbawabs]

Sam sprinting away for no reason within a picture frame is a classic taskmaster tableau.

[@Walperion_Music]

I'd say it's a classic Sam tableau. He's always an odd ball like that!

[@morphousblob]

Well he had to prove that he moves quickly

[@Tao_Tology]

2:45

[@brandonchapman6363]

This better be his exit from every task!! 😆

[@urituba6993]

I reckon he's a Meditations for the Anxious Mind Fan :)

[@MaeveDX]

He talks like he forgets what he just said immediately after saying it, I love him

[@typerexc]

"The second's nearly over." It would be amazing if that was the only earnest, genius one-liner Alex ever slid in, but they're just everywhere.

[@f.faucon6681]

I found this interview quite moving. His genuine and natural way of being truly highlights what an touching person he is.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

George Costanza would be an outstanding taskmaster assistant

[@oLivaz22]

I've got a Sam Campbell painting in my living room. He used to paint one for a show each night years ago. It's of my old housemates holding a rugby ball while riding a pug

[@sarahparkinson3021]

I’ve got that too but my pugs riding my housemate

[@sophiusdynami3401]

Everyone that interacts with Sam Campbell falls in love with him... Looks at Alex's face when Sam runs away, true expression of love.

[@christine2995]

Sam did the drawing for James in series 7 for the most surprisingly beautiful thing. I love James and knowing he's friends with Sam makes me happy. Two little weirdos together.

[@chocochippington7186]

That’s fuckin awesome

[@mrburnout]

they're my two favorites of all time on taskmaster, I love this

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

That was Sam!??? Oh my gawd that makes me so happy

[@Pat_Springleaf]

@@Jesse-lv2yoyeah James mentioned it a while back on the TM podcast, before this series. Caught that episode yesterday and got a chuckle out of that

[@Silverity]

I immediately had to return to Season 7 episode 9. Amazing. Hahaha.

[@hdskl2150]

He’s so talented! Very awkward session

[@GavinHitchens]

Who's faster than Sam...runs at the end

[@crabbuckets7506]

Sam has been cracking me up for years. Him and Aaron Chen are my type of odd ball comedy.

[@CharlieGreene24242]

0:22 I love it when Alex turns to the camera like that when he breaks

[@atmaximum]

I love how Sam is like, the Alex's type of humor/comedian. He's a pro on poker facing all sorts of other contestants, but with Sam, even something that's not a joke gets to him

[@PurpleSidewalk1]

I love how Sam keeps forgetting his own name

[@goldenpony822]

The range of intelligences one can posses or suck at is surprisingly wonderful.

[@connorwebb5836]

I love Sam Campbell. I wish he were real.

[@laineysherdan6749]

7:19 his indignance at the suggestion of a cup 😂

[@mattmahler9756]

Sam complies!

[@slyasleep]

05:45 oh, Al-Jazeera!

[@thekaratekidpartii2169]

The really impressive thing is, how did he take 8 minutes to draw something that looks like it would take about 2 minutes?

[@flappetyflippers]

This was just 10 minutes of Sam and Alex trying to out-weird each other (Sam won).

[@MoeAji]

It turned out very good. I... HE thinks that he managed to capture his essence.

[@ellekay4758]

"upbringing...phew, cyberbullying...." - i CANNOT wait for this series

[@SugarSnapDragon]

"No worries" Most Australlian he's ever been.

[@h0lly_blue]

"a few small dark moments" what a tease this is

[@radicalpaddyo]

Just fyi, Sam was a writer on the latest don't hug me I'm scared tv show. Armed with this information, I suddenly understood him a lot better

[@FoxoftheCosmos]

Eggerson Keaveney holy shit!

[@burculuks]

The feeling I get from the cast so far is that they probably won't be that good at doing tasks, but very amusing and creative in their failings...😂

[@kischtrine]

Greg referred to this series in the Podcast to a „carcrash“ Maybe that says something. 😅

[@mikeuuuytffvghjjoopoiytf]

The feeling who gets?

[@kischtrine]

@@sternschnuppe9101 all three of the pictures are quite good.. I am surprised..

[@maniamuse1319]

@@kischtrine They are probably saving the grade F art students until last.

[@vlad3k]

Tho... i got that feeling from literally EVERY cast so far...

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Every series there are people doubting how good it will be, just because they've never heard of a few of the contestants. I think at this point, we should trust that Alex and the production team know exactly what they're doing.

[@dgpatter]

For the most part, I agree. Casting has been phenomenal most times. There have been some duds though. IMO 9 and 15 were terrible.

[@unpreparedwithacapitalf]

​@@dgpatter 9 and 15 were great in my opinion, especially 15, but i think 8 was objectively bad casting to have ian and lou on the same series. really messed up the energy (but joe was perfect). there definitely have been some duds, subjective though

[@tobyb1018]

Every time. People should know better by now and trust it’ll be good whoever’s in it. Also it annoys me that every time people just excited about the famous one, and have never heard of hang the cast.. there hasn’t been a single contestant in the history of the show that I hadn’t already heard of, seems a lot of people need to do their comedy homework…

[@andrewbowden6982]

15 was amazing. Series 8 was an all round dud for me except Joe Thomas

[@dgpatter]

@@unpreparedwithacapitalf 8 would probably be the next poorest for me as well. 9 could be influenced by Ed Gamble. I like him as a podcast host, but anywhere else I find him as funny as needle in the eye. I couldn’t even watch 15. Sat through two episodes and just went “meh” every time I saw another episode uploaded and ignored it. Edit: Again, 15 could be because I have always loathed Frankie Boyle with the white hot heat of a thousand suns.

[@markbelcher2121]

TM introduced me to Sam and I'm very thankful. Sam you're a Jem, right when we need it most ❤

[@Atuchy]

I love the moment where Alex found some really amusing

[@psylock524]

the part where Alex asks him to draw an appliance and he throws out "whisk" and surprises himself to recall that an electric whisk is, indeed, an appliance says a lot about Sam

[@Atuchy]

His drawing was excellent!!!!!

[@Kbecr]

It's Eggerson Keaveney !

[@stefanieb.4465]

It is really nice to get an insight into how Alex creates his art. :D It's such a clever way of 'framing' these interviews. Just amazing. I watched the show before I watched the interviews, but if it had been the other way around, I would have been so excited for this cast.

[@BD-yl5mh]

Fuck yes. The energy he’s gonna bring to the show is going to be magnificent. I actually think Greg will either genuinely fall in love with him, or try and perform an exorcism on him before the end of the season. I can’t decide which

[@kischtrine]

Sam was also on a Never mind the Buzzcocks episode recently and it felt like Greg and Sam got along quite well.

[@AivoPaas]

I can't decide witch either.

[@GAmbrose]

​@@kischtrineHe didn't do much, sadly (Sam on buzzcocks)

[@kischtrine]

@@GAmbrose True... But I think one can tell really quickly if Greg is annoyed by someone or if he likes someone at least a bit :)

[@joshandallo2170]

I feel like Greg will need to be Teacher Greg to handle Sam 😂

[@TiltyBird]

THE SPRINT AT THE END, YES.

[@Danburybeeches]

Wasn't expecting the drawing to be absolutely incredible - wow Sam!

[@FilthyGringo]

Completely forgetting what the 3rd person is and instead referringto himself like he's an interdimensional being from another realm. Brilliant

[@Dev1nci]

Is no one gna mention that the drawing is actually really good? 😄

[@vladzatoloka]

For somebody who keeps correcting everyones grammar, "how long does who has" is going to chase Alex for the rest of his days.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

Sam portrayed by the Somali pirate would be amazing

[@alleeum]

“Sam complies!”

[@kayacarmen]

i

[@vonwux]

Not come across Sam before but I think he's going to fit in the taskmaster world just fine

[@tabithasinclair6821]

if youve seen s7 hes the same guy who painted james acaster's episode 9 prize task (him with boobs and 2 dicks)

[@Elwaves2925]

I didn't know him before he popped up on Buzzcocks and that told me he'd be great on TM.

[@joshandallo2170]

Sam is a relatively newcomer to the UK comedy scene. He's only been around for a little over a year. He's quite known in Australia, IIRC.

[@Caffeinatedali]

Saw his fringe show and some WIPs since & he's a delight. Absolutely insane, but the hardest I've laughed in a long while. He threw a DVD of 27 dresses at me one time. Highly recommend to nab before he starts to sell out even faster

[@amiiwg]

He was in the show bloods too

[@Juan-wo7zu]

Actually his real name is Eggerson Keaveney

[@JoshBennJoshBenn]

It's the one and only Eggerson Keavney

[@theworkofsirchristopherlee6861]

I love Sam. He rocks. His mouth reminds me of Frank Spencer. “I’m in a little bit of trouble.”

[@marthamydear5869]

It really does!!

[@hollyambler9772]

OK, when he sprinted away I could not contain myself

[@McFazzer]

I did not expect the drawing to be so good

[@StevieeG]

He is quite subdued in the show… funny, but subdued. I had a feeling if I watched his standup I would see a different side to him and by god I was right. Brilliant in its unhinged delivery.

[@Coldactill64]

The kid from Boy/Dad 2 has sure come a long way ❤

[@ironwhy]

Sam also made the drawing of James Acaster that was brought in as James' contribution for the "most surprisingly beautiful thing". (Series 7 - Episode 9 - The pendulum draws the eye). - I've got this information from the "Taskmaster Podcast"...

[@Wakwise]

that was him?? beautiful

[@sarah.bea.]

I just listened to the podcast episode and came here to share this 😄

[@melissaburkett9350]

Knowing this, I just watched that prize task again. Now I like to think the whole reason little Alex had them draw his portrait, was because Sam drew that one of James. Ha!

[@ironwhy]

@@melissaburkett9350 It definitely seems possible...

[@whisperingblues9887]

What a pile of rubbish where did they find this clown at the first episode of series 16 was bloody awful.

[@moniquegrace1601]

The Plucka Duck doll was gold!

[@poptartpanda8]

One of my favorite things Sam does is the conversation will have moved on and he'll cut in with a joke related the last thing they talked about. Like with the "Sam is no Michael Angelo" 😆 he did it a bunch on the Taskmaster podcast and I think it's hilarious 😂

[@Raucey]

"Is this part of it?" "It is now..."

[@dmeep]

45 years feel a bit like a threat from Alex. 2068 will be a year of building traps and constant vigilance for Sam

[@elfenf3uer]

hey that is actually a really good picture!

[@occularpatdown]

May confuse 2nd and 3rd person, but can draw damn well. Chaotic neutral

[@elkayySir]

Surprisingly decent drawing of Alex there.

[@axels9179]

He also did the portrait of James Acaster which was a prize from James in his series of Taskmaster (the one with James pictured with witches tits).

[@cyberwomble7524]

The tooth gap was a little reserved, but that's art for you.

[@wagononfire3874]

Sam's art has actually been on taskmaster before! In season 7 episode 8 i think it was, James Acaster brought in a portrait of himself for a prize task, Sam was the one who drew it!

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Yeah its good, really good! 😄

[@oLivaz22]

I've got a Sam Campbell painting in my living room. He used to paint one for a show each night years ago. It's of my old housemates riding a pug holding a rugby ball

[@electromika]

This interview is a trainwreck, I can't wait to watch Sam in the series!

[@L-po8rx]

A perfect level of awkwardness

[@jasonflay8818]

I think Alex recognizes a spiritual equivalent. Sam has the same chaotic comedic energy that Alex has. I bet we see more Alex Sam collaborations in the future.

[@kevinw712]

what if Sam dies exactly 45 years from the time of the publication of this video

[@AnnaTalks-videos]

Oh my god it’s EGGERSON KEAVENEY

[@jogglenoggle9579]

Nice muscley fingers...

[@catheriner999]

Sam's frustrated noise when Alex corrects him... feels like we'll be hearing a lot of that.

[@MohalNik]

Brilliant

[@kischtrine]

With watching interview after interview I am starting to understand Greg’s reference to a carcrash when he was talking about the series in the Podcast. I can’t wait!

[@fimoize]

Ooohhh, what podcast was that?😊

[@kischtrine]

@@fimoize The official Taskmaster Podcast with Ed Gamble. Greg was on that. I think just after finishing series 15.

[@fimoize]

Thank you

[@ItsJustAisling]

Sam can draw. Damn!

[@tomshaw4186]

This is literally the Mitchell and Webb Caesar sketch

[@rootkite]

"Sam complies"

[@rmhartman]

That portrait is actually not bad for eight minutes.

[@toddthechimeralinguist]

Todd had no idea who Sam is before this video but he now likes Sam a whole great lot.

[@mral8145]

Alan feels likewise!

[@AmyBG88]

As does Amy! (Tiny hat is the cherry on the sundae)

[@anabelle..]

Anabelle feels the same way :))

[@irisblue2332]

Iris thinks that the fact that both Alex and the camera people keep breaking is a very promising sign!

[@DragonSpawn4Twenty]

We're still wondering who is he??

[@davedavem]

Mixed emotions: 😂😭

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

He NAILED the tooth gap

[@LoudmouthLee]

That run away that the end is real David Correos energy! I'm ready for it.

[@Dan_G.R.S.]

These last two interviews really seemed like the third person thing completely broke their pattern of speech. Only Julian seemed to not lose his mind over it

[@felinetherapy4782]

Wow he's quite the artist. Would love to see all finished pictures lined up together!

[@teeweezeven]

So far, I think all of them are quite artistic!

[@GT_Walker]

He was the guy that drew the picture of James Acaster with two dicks.

[@jennifersuch8488]

He drew the pic that James brought in of himself for a S7 prize task!

[@NiallMoody]

Wallace Shawn is a great shout

[@reddonki]

Glorious from the sweet wrapper bit to "do you like Arsenal?"

[@scottlund4562]

This series was stellar

[@kiradotee]

9:11 that's something James Acaster would do 😂

[@J29117]

Oh shit it's Eggerson
