Congrats to this week's "Dribble" task...it has officially joined "Sophie Duker Flob" and "Rhod Gilbert Blinking" on the list of "Tasks I will 100% skip on every re-watch"...

I never thought there would be a Taskmaster contestant whose name Greg seems to genuinely enjoys saying more than "Rose Matafeo", but he sure does make a meal out of "Ania Magliano" every time. Cracks me up.

After watching this week's Taskmaster, I really need to see what kind of release they have to sign. At least 2 contestants almost pulled a Knappett during the live task, and I thought for sure poor Maisie broke her nose.

Absolute hilarious chaos...and Alex's deadpan response afterwards was perfect.

If the US ever gives Taskmaster another go (which they should), the best options I could come up with for TM and TMA are:

Big name actor route:
TM: Jon Hamm
TMA: Michael Cera

Comedian route:
TM: Bill Burr
TMA: @joshgondelman.bsky.social

@pftompkins.bsky.social could also sub in for either TMA.

Fellow Taskmaster fans! Since we now have an official premiere date (yay!), I figured it was a good time to send this back out. Hopefully a few of you find it helpful to start getting prepared/excited for the new season :-)

Fellow Taskmaster fans! As an American, when a new cast gets announced I've gotten in the habit of scouring the internet/BritBox/etc trying to figure out who these people are. Since I'm sure I'm not the only one, this year I decided to take a few notes for anyone else who may be in the same boat.

Me 2 years ago, an American having never seen Taskmaster: Couldn't pick a British comic out of a lineup.

Me yesterday, having seen every season of TM at least 5 times, while breaking out my TM X-mas Crackers: "What, you haven't seen James Acaster's new standup? What, are you living under a rock?"

I feel like the Jr Taskmaster format could be leveraged into a way to bring back former contestants without feeling overly forced. Call it the Taskmaster Invitational...winner gets one of Greg's Golden Shoes!

I love that Rose Matafeo is getting slightly meaner with each passing episode of Taskmaster Junior. I had some concerns about how TM would work with children, and that fact alone has alleviated most of them.

My wife laughed at me when I bought "An Absolute Casserole" from the Taskmaster store, even though the cost to ship it to the US was almost as much as the book itself. But who's laughing now Babe??? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW???

Hello BlueSky! Now that @jackbern.bsky.social has made the move, this must be the cool new internet spot for all things Taskmaster (Stats = Cool, as the saying goes). With another series in the books, it's time for some updated rankings along with the series MVP.
