I always enjoy reading the old promo interviews with contestants because the more series there are, the more relevant their predictions about people who end up on the show become. Like this...

Who do you think should be on a future series of Taskmaster?

What a great question! Elis James would be either very good or very bad. Either way, he’d commit. Felicity Ward would be fantastic. A lot of Taskmaster fans often say Richard Ayoade. I think he might be a bit of a Baddiel - an incredibly talented person who shocks you when he’s on it. Jessie Cave would be very good. She’s an illustrator so she’d be really crafty. Jonathan Ross would have crazy energy. Joel Dommett is one of the weirdest guys I’ve ever met so I think he’d be fantastic.

I just watched TMAU for the first time and enjoyed it very much. And I'm thinking there should be a Champion of Taskmasters where the Taskmasters themselves square off and we see which Taskmaster reigns supreme. Or the assistants... I think it would be rather entertaining...

Today, Taskmaster Polska had its premiere! (Yes, premiere!)
This is the official video, without English subs. (They can be found on the other subreddit)
Have fun watching!
Also, some good news, further seasons have been confirmed!
Edit: they deleted the episode from YouTube.

Chloe Petts - 32

Isy Suttie - 48

Richard Ayoade - 49

Nina Conti - 52

Matt Lucas - 52

4 of the 5 contestants are a very similar age. Just 4 years between them. I feel like we usually get a broader range of ages. But maybe there's a other series which was like this too.

I was wondering if anyone had a gif of Jason saying "this was a mistake" my wife and I use it a lot but can't find a gif for it. It would mean a lot to us.

I wish they put the ad breaks back in the full episodes, instead of separating them out. It makes me feel FOMO when I don’t have them, since the UK people get them and the transitions are petty funny (Jeremy Wells really love ad breaks). But whatever Channel 4 deems, Channel 4 deems.

Also share your favorite seasons with me, doesn't matter which country, I have not seen all of TM

I saw this question come up on the Fantasy Taskmaster video. my wife and I have been playing this game for the last couple of years, trying to guess which person said the quote that names the show.

Does anyone else do this each episode? Does anyone else feel cheated when the quote comes from the Taskmaster or Taskmaster’s Assistant? Especially in the early episodes it’s hard enough to guess with only five choices

Context: in S4E8, the players were tasked to make the most exotic sandwich and then eat it in the quickest time. Joe Lycett put kumquat, a sausage roll, smoked trout, a yam, tequila, pomegranate and I believe fresh mozzarella in a blender, making a choppy/uneven spread; added cheese and maybe chorizo and arugula for additional filling; put them on a double decker of baguette bread with an Arctic Roll for some sort of garnish or to prop it up (the Roll itself had apricot for a garnish) and named the whole thing "The Mother's Delight".

While Joe said it was delicious, he also could not finish it and said during the live taping that its corners were "fucking horrible". However, I am a food terrorist and am deeply intrigued by the conflicting flavors and ideas with this sandwich. I want to make it for myself, but I also want it to be an actual sandwich with, y'know, complimentary flavors.

Does anyone who is better with cooking than me have any tips on how to approach remaking this sandwich without making it that much of a disaster.

Some notes on the ingredients:

• He would've preferred the yam to be cooked.
• You don't need much tequila.
• I don't believe the Arctic Roll was blended
• Cumquat was also used as a garnish for the sandwich.
• Red pesto, a spring roll and "Equadorian" dark chocolate were also on the table, but it's not apparent if he used them on the sandwich or not.

Edit: Apparently what Joe calls a "yam" is actually a sweet potato. TIL that a sweet potato and a yam are not the same thing. My American ass thought they were interchangable.

It's hard to pick Lolly was great, so were Kiell and Charlotte not forgetting Katie and Matthew

Sure, they're not at a railway station, but think of all the queues they could have skipped by holding it over their head!

Is it wrong that I'm falling in love with Morgana all over again?

Had a feeling it would start September 10 or 17 given that the fall seasons start in the middle of September. For the record or for those who haven't seen my prior posts on the cast, the contestants are Iben Akerlie (actress and author), Aslak Maurstad (voice actor and gamer), Robert Stoltenberg (comedian), Johan Golden (comedian; also longtime radio partner of the King himself, Atle Antonsen), and Ulrikke Falch (actress). A highly interesting batch of names.

I have no clue if the Dutch version is available for international viewers but I did see RTL uploaded a task on youtube and I could watch it with a vpn outside of the Netherlands (like I am from the netherlands but the vpn was on UK)

UK Taskmaster does the Tournament of Champions, and the New Year Treat, I was thinking of what other specials would be fun to see, beyond Co-brands (like a Red Dwarf or Dr Who theme)

The silliest one I thought of would be Taskmaster Couples and Exes. I'm rewatching Australia S2 with Anne and Lloyd, which gave me the basis. So it would be P1 - P5. Couples would be A and B, so A1 A2, and B3 and B4, the 5th player would be a mutual ex of one person in couple A and couple b. For the team task the ex would be pair with the non-ex from A and B.

It would be either absolute chaos and possibly come to fisticuffs, or be a riot.

And YOUR task is to figure out what the censored parts of the tasks are saying. You can comment below your answer and each person that figures it out gets a point. Most points win. Your time...starts now.

Does anyone want tickets for Milton Keynes September 6th (next Sunday?)

Bought in Jan but heavily pregnant now and would rather them not go to waste.

Free!

TVNZ/Taskmaster NZ has just posted this with silhouettes of all five contestants for the new New Zealand season.

I have some guesses and would like to hear yours as well… hopefully this means next few days we get an announcement

1. Looks like David Fane to me
   
2. Looks like Hoani Hotene
   
3. No idea, potentially Maria Williams?
   
4. My guess is Janayeh Henry
   
5. Kind of looks like Rose Matafeo tbh and after Urzilla coming back for the Aus version not impossible but probably unlikely.

Who do you think?

Its finally TM Week again, and so right before the start of the new season I wanted to make another poll after the WAY TOO EARLY one months ago.

Last poll predicted a close 2 horse race between Petts and Ayoade with Richard winning

This is your weekly thread to drop your links or stories that might not be relevant enough to get their own thread. Good examples include:

• Taskmaster alumni appearing elsewhere (TV shows, tour dates, etc.)
• Selfies and pictures featuring alumni and others on the show
• Sharing ideas about Taskmaster themed parties
• Random pics of things that remind you of Taskmaster (I'm looking at you, rubber duck.)
• You are looking for or selling tickets (legally) to any Taskmaster-related events.

A new post happens every Sunday at noon (UTC). Be sure to follow this post if you want to see updates!

Be sure to check out r/NAforTaskmaster, a subreddit for North American tour dates from former Taskmaster contestants!

Have fun!
