    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.

    The sheer arrogance and balls to just subtly drop a hint that he cheated in one of the most strict and anti-cheating game shows Ive ever seen is an absolute power move.

    I’m amazed at how good Sarah and Munya were as a team, in terms of entertainment. It’s amazing because they were sort of two polar opposites. Sarah was more of a realist and knew her abilities and knew what to expect out of herself but Munya just had untouchable confidence where you would follow him into battle if you had to. I didn’t know about him before Taskmaster but now I think he’s fantastic.

      When Sarah was asked about the feather & leaf-blower task and how he ended up doing a crazy construction with tubes, she said, "It's like he was a bairn (child in Northern UK speak)", a little boy with so much energy and confidence. It's one of the sweetest things she ever said about Munya, especially Sarah doesn't have kids and doesn't want to have kids.

      @@jackwang9536 it’s amazing how the editing team made their attempt look quicker than the team of three, when the team of three took seven and a half minutes but Sarah and Munya took 24 minutes! Incredible.

      ​@@Harvey1211 I know, right? The feather task was a comedic masterpiece. The moment they went silent, think of those historic silent film comedies - Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, etc.
      Dara's team: Fern & John bumbling around, losing a feather, John bringing in a chicken, and Dara in a rage waving his arms around.
      Meanwhile Munya & Sarah were shown running around with a leafblower, pipes, a guitar, and they seemed so speedy & inventive. And all the while, they took 24 minutes!
      This is the genius of Taskmaster, they were able to use silence as a tool to manipulate the audience. Film schools need to study this task.

      @@Harvey1211if I remember right one of the (many) criticisms of the US version is that since it was condensed to half an hour, the recordings were cut down a lot so often a contestant took way longer than the edit made it seem, and it got repetitive as a result. But the feather task here shows that can be done effectively

      @@jackwang9536 it’s a bit like a task from Series 15 where they had to poke holes in a piece of paper and not talk to Alex or look at him throughout. You can easily edit out people talking to trick the audience into thinking they were successful… like they unfortunately did with Ivo Graham. The quote ‘please stop using me as a yardstick for failure’ still sticks with me haha.

      You need to listen to James Acaster & Ed Gamble's interview with Munya on their Off Menu podcast. It is the most insane interview ever. Most people in the UK know Munya through his parody hip-hop & celebrity videos, but this interview has the most insane stories ever. The whole story about the 9 gardeners they had in Zimbabwe - imagine that for like 30 minutes.

    Munya is in my opinion the single most underrated contestant in TM, beating out Asim Chaudhry. Really liked his brand of overconfidence, and his Zimbabwe shtick was a great running gag. Add to that his great chemistry with John and Sarah, excellently solving the hand task and being the first cheater the show has seen in quite a while, he was my favourite part of this series.
    I also think he was harshly judged by Greg quite a lot. His song, for example, was great and deserved way more than 2 points. In fact, after scouring through the score charts on TM Wiki (going off the knowledge he's one of only a handful of contestants who never won a prize task), I found out that he is the only contestant in the history of the show to never win a subjectively-judged solo task. Even Hugh Dennis won at least two as such, and we all know how much Greg picked on him

    2) Zimbabwe Bow & Arrow Taskmaster
    3) Norfolk Panther
    4) LeBron James toilet roll
    5) Find my hand camel toe
    6) Balayage Wagwan
    7) Feather vs Leafblower
    8) And..."You can be rougher with these hips"
    I am literally laughing as I type all these bits. Munya is insane. Fern Brady has said on the TM Podcast that he's even weirder than she is. And according to Ed Gamble, Munya is easily the most confident person ever to be on Taskmaster.

    Him naming birds reminds me of me and my family, my grandma named a blackbird who keeps eating the flower seeds in her garden Dave because my dad’s called Dave and always pranked my grandparents whilst my parents were dating when they were teenagers. I used to call a squirrel in my back garden who used to come up to my window every morning for nuts (it’s a long story 😂) Jimbob and my parents used to call a hedgehog that lived in our back garden under the bushes Mr. Sniffles and used to leave cat food out for him. I’ve named any animal I see since I was little, so I love that Munya does it too!
