    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.

      @WeirdNeville Yes I did, and I bet you and I would be just as incompetent. Like the lasso challenge, the logic behind that makes perfect sense to me. It's difficult to throw a light rope, so you find something to give it weight, ie a spoon, the spoon kinda works so you think, another spoon to keep the lasso open. Now that's not working so switch to something easier to throw, a football. As for flipping the task with my mouth instead of my hands, I can see myself doing the exact same thing, oh my hands are busy, I'll use my mouth. The Q task, he made an unlucky choice, and instead of scrambling for something that begins with Q he tried to bullshit it, because he thought there wouldn't be anything he could find, which is very understandable if you've never seen the show before like him. There's different kinds of intelligence. Alex has even said in interviews, they find that the higher the degree a contestant has, the worse they do. It's like how if you've ever taken a psych class, you learn how IQ tests are bullshit. Also if you think he's so stupid, how do you explain his degree from Cambridge. I'm personally great at science, stick me in a foreign language class and I absolutely suck. Hell, even some science, I have always sucked at the electricity portion of any physics class. That doesn't make me stupid, and neither would someone else being bad at the things I'm good at.

      i think with that instance the wording should be taken literally, Joe didn't quit and so despite taking so long he still placed 4th; also, Taskmaster is infamous, notorious, well-known, and looked at askance for its' perplexing or cryptic wording; the fact it backfires on them sometimes when contestants find valid loopholes just makes it all the better
