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.

"... I have fat eyelids" "I noticed" Carol, you savage

[@Eppu_Paranormaali]

Russell clearly should have won this with quality over quantity, by at least two points. "Do you like ear wax removal videos?" was so off the board compared to the mundane observations everyone else made.

[@xant8344]

Especially after starting with "are you human?"

[@Esafc-lb2sg]

It didn’t really seem like she did like the videos though, just tolerated the video. Russell on the other hand likes them too much.

[@indiehead457]

she absolutely did NOT like the ear wax removal videos though?

I'm shocked Greg and Alex didn't have anything to say about the whole part about wanting to take a giant rancid shit when they die so someone has to clean it up

[@christianornelas994]

Having them shake hands after every task definitely shifted their mindsets from quality to quantity of questions which may have been why there was no actually cool things in common

[@madeleine61509]

I definitely think most of the contestants forgot that as well, otherwise there would be no point listing off a bunch of mundane things 😂

[@joshuagrahambrown]

Asim listing off the awards he's won to poor Carol was wayyy funnier than it had any right to be

[@charlie5115]

Tbh I was expecting more eccentric questions from them. It'd be fun watching someone like Bob Mortimer doing this, going "What's your favorite meat?" or "Would you like to be able to fly?" and then maybe they'd have that in common. Tho Russell was close with "Do you like ear wax removal videos?" lmao.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

Yeah, asking an old woman if she likes sewing and cooking isn't really what comes to mind for me when I think of trying to find remarkable things in common. "Do you like earwax removal videos" and "what's your death row meal" were more the types of questions I was expecting. Maybe stuff like "If you like Doctor Who, which Doctor is your favorite and which companion is your LEAST favorite", "what brand of toilet paper do you buy", "would you like to have a surgery that means you can eat as much food as you like without any negative consequences but in exchange all the food tastes half as good". Not "do you like cool shoes" or whatever.

[@BorinUltimatum]

Bob would sit down and immediately ask "Do I strike you?"

[@charlsreyn]

Wild to me that they were asked to find something remarkable in common and would start with things like "Are you human?"

[@thebigragu9952]

Making sure they at least get one

[@bobbodaskank]

I have to imagine for "spirit of the game" reasons, the producers probably offscreen added rules about that. Certainly the player that thinks to ask "have you got at least one hair" and "have you got at least two hairs" and "have you got at least three hairs," etc. is going to win, but it doesn't make for very spirited competition.

[@levisdarkness4239]

​@bobbodaskank okay but the point of the task is quality not quantity, a fact even Greg himself seemed to forget

[@siobhanvidaashmole9009]

I was disappointed in this task. I thought that the task would be that Carol was a total weirdo, and it was hard to find anything in common. I imagined Greg meeting this person and being like, hold on a minute! Pleasantly surprised though to find out actually it's russel who is absolutely batshit.

[@RestoreTechnique]

This is a great "game" to "play" when you meet new people. Don't have anything to talk about? Just start asking questions and try to find something in common, anything.

Alice looked absolutely demented when she said “Carol, we have much to learn!”

She said it like an evil scientist about to dissect a live, unwilling subject.

[@funlovingvoyeur]

Liza should have started wearing purple to the studio recordings after the task.

[@EnoVarma]

For whatever reason, I haven't seen this one before, and it turned out to be a wonderful task; but Greg's judgement was bonkers. Clearly, Asim deserved last place with 1 point, and Russell deserved the win. That's obvious. I don't think Greg had only tea in his cup that day.

[@ab-mc2nq]

i think both having colourful trainers on was better than some people

[@chocolatefountainfarm]

“what’s the point of that” is one of my all time favourite tm moments 3:47

[@Kelishas]

To this day I still wonder what was in the other tasks in the room. I keep hearing Season 16 Alex asking if anyone’s found the secret task yet

[@MikeBlanchett]

came here to say this. i'm pretty sure there's always a secret task, but no one ever finds it. someone found one in the NZ series a while back

[@CM28277]

I remember Alex mentioning on the podcast that opening the task would have given the players 5 points.

[@iliketrains3495]

Ah yes, that task where Greg gave Asim the win just because he really wanted him to win an episode. I mean it's kind of nice in a way, and Asim's scapegoat-to-teacher's pet arc is one of my favourite things about series 6, but Russell 100% deserved this one

[@lruddy8820]

[@hannahk1306]

Every time I watch this task, I'm confused by Tim's bedding question. Do most people not have multiple sets of bedding, usually in different colours and patterns? I presume that Carol just parsed it as the colour of the set on her bed at the time the question was asked.

[@kpwxx]

Lots of people have two of the same to switch between, if they've decorated a room and got bedding at the same time. Especially when asking just the colour.

[@hannahk1306]

@@kpwxx Personally, I've never met anyone who has multiple identical bedding sets, but equally I've never surveyed people on their bedding choices either. 😆 I also don't think I've ever known someone to get new bedding just because they've redecorated or to get bedding to match their walls, but I guess anything's possible. 🤷

[@kpwxx]

@@hannahk1306 I think it really depends, but I certainly wouldn't say it's unheard of. I don't have matching sets because we have never had a bedroom we've decorated before, so have got new bedding sets mostly as gifts or on sale as needed. But we've just finally (mid thirties) moved to a house where we're decorating, and we are buying a new king size bed instead of a double. We'll have to buy new bedding because it's a different size, so we'll probably buy two of the same ones.

[@weakw1ll]

1:05 i love the crowds reaction man its been too long

[@seriouslyblack3470]

"Do you like earwax removal videos? 🤨" HELP

[@Datscold1]

Were all the tasks behind them and on the mantle secret tasks or something? The intro video shows them prepping many task envelopes too

[@bootieos7701]

Indeed. It was revealed in an earlier podcast/interview that they were tasks that majorly affected the score total by quite some margin. The closest one to them doubled their points total for the episode but the one further away divided it by half. So 20 points could've turned into 40 points total, IIRC. Basically seeing how far you can push your luck, although the five contestants couldn't look away from Carol so you would have to recognise them before the task started to get a clear indication of where they were.

[@hilarygladstone6037]

I love this! Well done all around. (I hope everyone wins at least 1 award in their life.)

Oh, yeah, but I meant more unique guests. That reminds me, there was Quentin for the live task in S13 as well.

[@CreativeC13]

I think a lot of it was due to covid

[@iliketrains3495]

@@CreativeC13 probably, there's a few things the show used to do but either dropped completely or rarely do after COVID (or the switch to Channel 4), including guests, tasks in public places and Greg filming the task intro videos. A common assumption is that the reaction shots were also dropped then, but they were gone starting from series 8
