A HUGE part of the success of Taskmaster is their willingness to put the show on TH-cam for free. This show saved a lot of people from going insane during covid.
Alex: Mel Giedroyc is very busy and we had to film all of her stuff within a week Also Alex: has her and only her inflate a giant ball in a room, deflate the ball, takes it to a football field, and hides it only to troll her. Mel’s so positive!
TM is how I found out he had died.i kept thinking he would of been the ultimate contestants. Then I googled if he was going to be on the new series at the time and the Google ai answer told me he had died.
By that I'm guessing you mean they get like 5 contestants from previous seasons that came in last place to try and redeem themselves and see who's the best of the worst, would definitely watch that
David Mitchell says he will never di Taskmaster because, as he said (paraphrasing) The only thing that Taskmaster can do is make people realise I'm not as intelligent as some people think I am.
@@KernowWarriorand I have seen his wife on a couple occasions being asked about her time on the show and if David would ever do it, and she said that a show like that it one of his biggest fears and he would never do it
I wasn't really partial to him until I saw him empathize with Sarah Milican, and he actually built her up instead of kicking her at her lowest point. Greg is an absolute gem and my favorite character on the show.❤
I can't watch the other taskmaster because Greg is so good at it. The AU and NZ seem to only latch onto being stern and grumpy, but Greg is really funny himself and he breaks character in just the right way when a contestant does something super funny.
Would love to see Craig Ferguson on their one day. I think he'd be brilliantly creative and very entertaining in the studio arguing for himself and against his competition.
I used to find him funny until you realise how inappropriate and creepy he is towards women now every time I see clips of his on TH-cam all I can see is a massive creep
There was one particular nearly unwatchable contestant on the American version which killed the chance of the franchise taking off there. I wonder if he's referring to that.
I'd put all my chips on it being Iain Stirling - Alex specifically references team tasks and egos not getting out of control. Iain went hyper competitive and got humbled badly in the studio shows, you could see how embarrassed he was about his own behaviour.
Alex has said that there will be a major popular American comedian in the next series. I think this is their low-key attempt to captivate more of the American audience and retry the American Taskmaster. The American comedian could potentially be a backdoor way to have them be the American Taskmaster host or assistant.
I'm fairly confident it's Jason Mantzoukas, and I'm fairly confident at least half of the people who are fan of the Zouks already watch Taskmaster, so I don't know if that's a savvy strategy.
I wondered if the person not asked back would be Lisa Lampanelli, she just had horrible energy. I can not really think of anybody on the UK version they wouldn't have back.
Greg is the key to the show and the proof is the foreign versions. The tasks are just as funny and creative as the UK versions and the assistant is the assistant but what makes the show is the way Greg dresses them down for lousy performances and doesn't take any crap from them. He gives praise when its warranted but he's a harsh judge with an infectious laugh and smile and without that the show doesn't work.
Of course Greg doesn't do as much as Alex, but the taskmaster does have the difficult job of being both mean and charming, fair and entirely subjective
I think Danny Dyer, Kathy Burke and Miles Jupp in a lineup would still be funny. They were on all the english panel shows, I always wanted to see them on TM
Who else could make a 6'2" man look small, and generally dominate all the contestants whilst having all the humour needed to comment uniquely on each task? Greg Davies was a great choice by Alex.
one of the key ingreddients that make Taskmaster work, and work so well, is the charisma and chemistry between both hosts. This is also the reason why Taskmaster NZ works great, and both Australia and US dont. The formula alone is not enough.
I think NZ and AU still work despite the TM being awful because the assistants pick up a lot of the slack. Great chemistry between those assistants and the contestants.
Agree the Aus hosts dont have the chemistry. Theyre surviving off the contestants at the moment, but if they have a less interesting bunch it will come undone very quickly.
@@Schwadroneur Yeah Wells is a poor choice although he's getting better. The show is helped a lot by Paul Williams who nails it, and that the NZ writers are very keen to do original tasks instead of copying UK ones.
Good luck with that... I don't find any of them funny here...with the exception of Bill Engvall...Jeff Foxworthy...Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White... Other than those four the comedy talent is thinner than Dara O'Briaian's hairline...
Adam Savage, please and thank you. Also, Brett Goldstein and any of the Six Idiots, please. But, most importantly and urgently, Adam Savage. Adam Savage, please. Please have Adam Savage be a contestant on Taskmaster. This would be a good and right thing in the universe.
I would love if someone would sent Greg Classic FM merchandise, and the next time he does a spot in comedy club play some Classic FM radio as he goes on. Would be funny to see what he would come up with for Alex Horn hehe
Funnily enough, I bought a couple sweatshirts from this company after seeing Alex Horne wearing their brand on instagram and loving their style. Stupid algorithm.
Sadly not available through Amazon in the United States currently. I was able to order a copy from the Taskmaster store it just cost me an extra $20 to ship here. Which is completely worth it! This still reigns on top as my favorite TV show in modern times.
I don't know if this would be a great idea or a horrible idea, but it would be interesting to see what Jamie or Adam from the Mythbusters would do for a one time special.
Adam laughing at the absurdity of the tasks the whole time would be delightful to watch. He'd probably come up with some super clever solutions to tasks, too
I hate it that nowadays videos show something, you watch on for a few minutes and then the same conversation happens again. And then I backtrack and figure "oh it was meant as a preview, I guess" and have lost focus. Why do people do that? It's annoying and confusing.
blame the youtube algorithm. if they dont tease the conversaion at the start in the first 5 seconds no one is gonna click to watch it. it needs to be the first words so it comes up on the close captions
If you're watching on a browser, install an addon called "SponsorBlock", it has a thing where you can skip the fillers of the video and just go to the highlight
When there is an isolated snippet of conversation at the beginning of the video that cuts away back to an introduction, you know it’s a preview. And when you see that snippet occur in the conversation later, you know you’ve reached the point in the conversation that the clip was teasing.
Okay if you find it unnecessary for there to be a preview and let yourself be annoyed by that. But if you are really finding it confusing and figuring out what a preview is every time it happens that’s a personal problem and is not happening to most people.
@GoggledAgog but that's just it, i had to rewind to notice the cut. It's too subtle. And oftenly videos don't have a visible cut with intro at all and it just looks like it goes to another camera shot. It often confuses and distracts me
i was still stunned he turned up in a legit acting role in david mitchell's LUDWIG series. i mean i'm guessing part of the reason is, while he plays a pretty important character, he actually only has a couple minutes of screen in the whole 6 episodes. altho it got a series 2, don't know if he's gonna be used more. I know he had that proper role in DEREK, but he was still fullly under ricky gervais' wing
@@kevinw712he takes acting seriously, I remember ricky saying it on their podcast. Karl really tries when he acts. I was shocked that he wasnt terrible in Ludwig.
I would love to see the Horrible Histories/Ghosts (UK) comedy group on there. I know some have, and they’re amazing, but Matthew, Jim, and Simon would be awesome!
French and Saunders have to be on same show but obviously on different teams. Maybe Stephen fry, David Mitchell to try and beat his Mrs. Some left field, nick frost, suzie McCabe, Reece James, Jimmy carr with his brother alan.
The initial instinct might be to assume that the person was Iain Sterling. However if we look back honestly, it was only the hammock task where there seemed to be any "hostility" (I use the term loosely because the Iain and Lou are actually mates and there was no hard feelings at all). Lets face it James and Rhod were probably worse, and the less said about Daisy towards Richard the better. Series 19 has been filmed so it might actually be someone from that season or Alex could've been lying.
I'm pretty sure it was Stirling. It's not about whether there were hard feelings or not. He did get into serious hissy fits, yelling quite loudly, and ruined the atmosphere. He must have thought he was on the Real Housewives of whatever, not Taskmaster. I rewatch older seasons every now and then, and he's the only contestant whose parts I fast-forward. Although to be honest, I already did find him very off-putting from the get-go with his icky manners, long before he turned into a drama queen.
> the less said about Daisy towards Richard the better For me, the less said about Daisy the better. She was an awful contestant, who had an angry streak that just wouldn't quit.
@@ardantuzunsoy5602that's very funny to me. For me, I loved Iain Sterling especially because of his outbursts and 'hissy fits'. It made it seemed like he cared about it a lot and he so badly wanted to win but it wasn't going his way. Him and Joe are my favorite contestants in that series.
@@ardantuzunsoy5602And you being special, can just ignore that Lou clearly stated that the editing wasn't fair, and she had been just as "bad" to him earlier in the day and they always behave like that with each other in real life. Because you know better As she said, they edited out her doing it, and it left an unbalanced portrayal that she didnt like.
Sean Lock was a treasure, and it's unfortunate that he never appeared on a series of TM, but my ideal future participants are Richard Ayoade, Chris O'Dowd, Matt Berry, Jimmy Carr, and Natasia Demetriou.
If they retry the US adaptation, I enthusiastically hope Jason Mantzoukas plays the host, and Paul Scheer is the assistant. Anyone who has seen their TV and film work will instantly know why, and their 14-years-long uber-successful podcast, How Did This Get Made, highlights their friendship, banter, and comedy partnership.
i mean reggit watts might be in like my top 10 worst castings of anything ever, movies or tv. and i've generally liked him in other stuff, but it's truly mind blowing how wrong he was for that. I think even if they hadn't tinkered with the formula of the show, he still doesn't fit. i've only ever seen the first 2 episodes of that series, and i'm american lol i was like nope
Motels morning show back in the day was amazing. People tunes in via Sirus radio around the world. His numbers were amazing! He really fell off and fell off fast tho.
Ayoade, Warwick Davis, Stephen Fry, Stewart Lee (can't imagine he'd do it), Merchant, David Mitchell and Steve Coogan (in charachter as Alan Partridge). All men from me unfortunately.
@@dizai Oh really? I'm very much NOT a Dave Gorman fan so my bias wants to believe that 😅 But I've heard Alex say repeatedly how DG was a dream contestant and he loved it etc etc, can you possibly remember where you've heard him saying otherwise?
he's underestimating and misunderstanding Greg's appeal and contributions to the show and in general. hes definitely more than the guy from the In betweeners. He's become pretty popular in the US too.
A HUGE part of the success of Taskmaster is their willingness to put the show on TH-cam for free.
This show saved a lot of people from going insane during covid.
@@jofi4580 👋🏻 yuuuuuuup a friend mentioned it in 2019, and oddly came across a lot of time to watch UK and NZ

Also Alex: has her and only her inflate a giant ball in a room, deflate the ball, takes it to a football field, and hides it only to troll her. Mel’s so positive!
It'll always be a great shame we didn't get Sean Lock on TM.
Honestly, tragic.
He would have been the best 😢
The PRIZES he'd bring in... He would have absolutely dominated the Prize Tasks
TM is how I found out he had died.i kept thinking he would of been the ultimate contestants. Then I googled if he was going to be on the new series at the time and the Google ai answer told me he had died.
Joe Wikenson's throw being disqualified was one of the funniest bits
I loved champions of champions but would love to see champions of the losers
The Danish version have done that and it so funny
They've said already that won't happen as this would be an incentive for contestants to do bad in purpose.
@@Wyrobaswhat about champion of 2nd-last-placers?
By that I'm guessing you mean they get like 5 contestants from previous seasons that came in last place to try and redeem themselves and see who's the best of the worst, would definitely watch that
I want to see lowest scoring 5 of all time
I need a season with David Mitchell and or Richard Ayoade and or Matt Berry. Please and Thank you.
Matt Berry, yes!!!
Please not Ayoade. We don't need transphobes in a show as accepting and welcoming as Taskmaster
David Mitchell says he will never di Taskmaster because, as he said (paraphrasing) The only thing that Taskmaster can do is make people realise I'm not as intelligent as some people think I am.
@ he runs people through the wilderness survival show as a taskmaster, his wife has done it, let’s go.
@@KernowWarriorand I have seen his wife on a couple occasions being asked about her time on the show and if David would ever do it, and she said that a show like that it one of his biggest fears and he would never do it
I just love Greg as Taskmaster. He tries to be fair & has the feels over his decisions, & that’s genuinely addictive.
I wasn't really partial to him until I saw him empathize with Sarah Milican, and he actually built her up instead of kicking her at her lowest point. Greg is an absolute gem and my favorite character on the show.❤
Having seen Jr. Taskmaster, I am totally ok with Greg being a contestant, and Rose Matafeo as Taskmaster.
I can't watch the other taskmaster because Greg is so good at it. The AU and NZ seem to only latch onto being stern and grumpy, but Greg is really funny himself and he breaks character in just the right way when a contestant does something super funny.
Richard Ayoade and Stephen Merchant would be awesome contestants.
Richard Ayoade can't. he don't watch things in which he is in. Whole format of the show is that. hope alex works something out for him.
Would love to see Craig Ferguson on their one day. I think he'd be brilliantly creative and very entertaining in the studio arguing for himself and against his competition.
I wanna see Allison Hammond
I used to find him funny until you realise how inappropriate and creepy he is towards women now every time I see clips of his on TH-cam all I can see is a massive creep
SAME. I also really want to see how Stephen fry would do
@ I think best contestant would have been Sean lock
I would to see how he would deal with the TM , sorry Greg my money would be on Craig!
My desire to know who the one person Alex wouldnt want back is beyond reasonable. It is information i crave!
I think it's Paul Chowdhry.
I would think Katherine Parkinson. She didn't seem to enjoy it.

Ugh. No need to try to get the Americans. They're often stifled or restricted by Ego or Public perception. British are far more grounded
Oooh great choices, I will happily take Dr Migleemo and Jankom Pog!
@@NassimPanda Mantzoukas would be hilarious, he knows a lot of the Taskmaster alumni as well and would probably get on great with Alex and Greg.
My favourite part is when the comedian's performance persona breaks and they be themselves for a bit. It's fun.
I've heard the rumor Gregg and Alex want to host the American version. I hope they do as the one American version was a disaster.
I think that’s a good idea. It works for RuPaul’s Drag Race.
I wondered if the person not asked back would be Lisa Lampanelli, she just had horrible energy. I can not really think of anybody on the UK version they wouldn't have back.

@@markbrown7913 I liked Iain Stirling. I get that he was competitive but so was James Acaster and Ed Gamble.

A Richard Ayoade tm season would be a dream
Of course Greg doesn't do as much as Alex, but the taskmaster does have the difficult job of being both mean and charming, fair and entirely subjective
Stephen merchant would be great
I wish they would bring back some fan favorites or 5 of the last place finishers from previous seasons for another go at it.
I think one american in the line up is good, just one stand up or improviser (Brennan Lee Mulligan is my dream cast)
Just pinch someone from Dropout every series.
Brennan would win almost every task!
I think brennan might actually explode if he went on tm
There is an American on Series 19 (and Desiree Burch is American).
Yes!!!!
I think Danny Dyer, Kathy Burke and Miles Jupp in a lineup would still be funny. They were on all the english panel shows, I always wanted to see them on TM
Who else could make a 6'2" man look small, and generally dominate all the contestants whilst having all the humour needed to comment uniquely on each task? Greg Davies was a great choice by Alex.
I just watched that Wozniak episode last night.
It is impossible for me to pick a favorite season or contestant, so much good stuff.

I agree,the Australia hosts need an upgrade. Sweden and Finland taskmasters are both brill
Really? I think the NZ taskmaster is not a good pick at all. I'm sure he's a nice bloke but he's just not funny at all.
I think NZ and AU still work despite the TM being awful because the assistants pick up a lot of the slack. Great chemistry between those assistants and the contestants.

What happens to the massive theme portraits of Greg after each season?
Now they are at the Taskmaster Live experience
@@MBohr I like to believe that prior to the TMLE, they were all in Greg's house
THE CLEANER IS BRILLIANT!! so true
Of all the quotes from Taskmaster to name his book..... perfect!
I wish they would do another American version with people who are actually funny.
Good luck with that... I don't find any of them funny here...with the exception of Bill Engvall...Jeff Foxworthy...Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White... Other than those four the comedy talent is thinner than Dara O'Briaian's hairline...

What word could have been taken out around 5:46?
I love the lobster story Chris
I hope Alex doesn't let this interview from discouraging him from getting Stephen Merchant on TM.
Really interested to know who the person is that's been on taskmaster that Alex wouldn't want back
I bet that Alex snug that "maybe person" because that makes all the former contestants think "well its gotta be me then?"
"Turns out Chris Moyles was too fat and talentless for TV" - actual Steve Merchant quote.
You're joking about it being 50 quid, but if I want to get it in the U.S., it's $66! (which is 52 quid)
Have a look at Blackwell's, I've heard a few US people got it from there for about $25.

Chris for new year special 2025??! 🤣
Damn it Alex! Why couldn't you release the book in greater quantities? Book is sold out.
I have a friend who wears a brown hat and a purple helmet😂😂😂😂😂
too much compression on the mics, unlistenable after 5-6 minutes
It's Dave Gorman. Fact. He's said it before
I'd put money on it being Daisy Mae Cooper. She was a complete and utter c*%@ on the show.
If true then I'm surprised it wasn't Lisa Lampanelli from the US version.
@@davodity Probably wasn't even clocking her (or any of the contestants from the disastrous US series) as a possibility.
@@dizai Oh really? I'm very much NOT a Dave Gorman fan so my bias wants to believe that 😅 But I've heard Alex say repeatedly how DG was a dream contestant and he loved it etc etc, can you possibly remember where you've heard him saying otherwise?
When asked at a recent Horne Section gig in Belfast, he said Shirley Ballas. Apparently she was particularly difficult.
he's underestimating and misunderstanding Greg's appeal and contributions to the show and in general. hes definitely more than the guy from the In betweeners. He's become pretty popular in the US too.
Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell, Stephen Merchant, Robert Webb, Philomena Cunk in no particular order :-) And a special with puppets, please! Hacker
Philomena Cunk!! Yes!! 😊
Stewart lee and Ricky Gervais in the same room would be interesting
"Interesting" in the same way that chlamydia is.
Chris was useless in im a celebrity and will be useless in taskmaster too so would love to see him do it
We need a cheaters episode
Chris Moyles is still around? Those who break the bro-code deserve far less.
