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.

    everyone's excited for James Acaster, but y'all are NOT ready for Rhod Gilbert shenanigans

    "How many baked beans in a can?" Josh Widdicombe materializes
  • @nightsunny11
    “I know it’s early days, but are we the stupidest so far?” James Acaster’s delivery is so good.
  • @kris242
    The fact that Alex is the creator and essentially the real-life boss of this show... I'm consistently amazed of the absolute humiliating shit he will allow himself to be put through 🤣
  • @jamcdonald120
    You know, I know a guy who would totaly count how many beans are in a can of beans
  • @JossieMimo
    Ah yes, the "Undress Alex Horne" series.
  • @OtherworldlyOdd
    Rhod supporting Phil with the "I don't think those were boxes" just for Phil to slap him back with "Thanks, well I don't think that was a tower" had me dying.
  • James is how I imagine most of us would actually turn out as fans of the show, if we were contestants. "Ha. I could do that." Cut to: desperately screaming, "Please!" as we throw a box into some bushes.

    “It is bad omen that rhod Is the smart one.”

    "I know it's early days... but are we the stupidest so far?"

    Jessica's tower falling behind her while Jessica's looking so proud of herself is the most accurate depiction of my life I've ever seen
  • @franz6047
    The way Greg says "and what's wrong with you?" to James is one of the greatest moments out of all 9 series
  • After getting emotionally attached to Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard and Tim Vine over the last two months and being sad when their series finished, I am absolutely ready to get hurt again.
  • @pandaboy5o
    That final task broke this season down to its basic form. Kerry and Jess helping each other, Phil and Rhod helping each other. And James losing his god damn mind
  • @jessefram2432
    This is the best series because Kerri takes it so seriously, Phil doesn't, Rhod and Greg are constantly at each other, and James and Jess are genuinely trying their best. It's perfect.
  • @variumi
    Rhod immediately set himself as an absolute maniac in the first two tasks of the series, absolute legend
  • @Mary-sulli
    Kerry's hair and outfit in this episode make her look like an alternate universe Mel Giedroyc
  • I feel like we see a different side of Alex every season. Literally.
  • @fatgods2921
    I love how all of these grown adults see the horse toy and immediately react like "Oh yeah, now this is a high quality item right here."
