Interview
Why did you want to sign up for Taskmaster?
What made you sign up to Taskmaster?
The money, really. It’s quite good money. And I must admit, I’ve wanted to do it for ages. I’ve been around so many groups of comics and they sit and talk about their time on Taskmaster, and everyone presumed I’d done it already to be honest. But, no.
A lot of fans predicted you would be in it this year.
What made you sign up to Taskmaster?
It’s right up my street because it’s relentlessly silly. You never get bored doing it because you don’t know what’s coming next. It’s very clever. Even on studio days, we didn’t know what tasks they were going to show. It’s been fascinating. I did Big Brother once, and you get conditioned in Big Brother after three weeks, to the extent that when I came out I didn’t know how to cross the road without being told.
Did you enjoy making the show?
We’ve had a few firsts on this series of Taskmaster. One of which is that there was a proposal in the studio!
Greg: Aww. There was, and we were there. It made me cry. I actually teared up, genuinely. It caught me by surprise.
