Taskmaster
In the wake of another heroically fought task tournament, BAFTA winning and International Emmy nominated Taskmaster has revealed a new host of comedy minds signing up for a fresh round of surreal challenges, placing themselves under the scrutiny of Taskmaster Greg Davies, and the watchful eye of his obedient assistant Little Alex Horne.
The news arrives as Sarah Kendall was crowned as series 11 champion with Mike Wozniak a very close second.
Taskmaster has become a huge television success. The unique game show in which comedians have to perform increasingly silly stunts such as play golf with a potato or get a random 55-year-old to high five them in a shopping centre has become a worldwide hit. The format, originally created by co-host Alex Horne, has been sold to 170 countries at the last count and nominated for so many awards it is hard to keep up. This Thursday it is back for its eleventh series.
Alex Horne’s BAFTA winning format Taskmaster has been picked up for a second original series in New Zealand for TVNZ following ratings success. The popularity of Taskmaster continues across Australasia with BBC Studios Australia and TVNZ picking up series ten of the award-winning UK original.
BAFTA-winning Taskmaster returns to C4 at 9pm on Thursday March 18th. Starring Greg Davies perched on his regal throne, and Little Alex Horne diligently taking notes to determine who will be the next Taskmaster champion.
