Join Andy Zaltzman, Babatunde Aléshé, Emma Sidi, Jack Dee & Rosie Jones in Series 18
I just Rosie Jones on something talking about taking a first date to a posh restaurant and then seeing Greg, Alex, and Tim Key at a table, and her being torn about wanting to give her attention to her date but also really wanting to be on Taskmaster. I’m glad at least one worked out.
Just for fun, who would have been better in the US edition?
For the Taskmaster?
Daniel Tosh, hands down.
Only person who could come close, maybe Joel McHale.
Ironically I think McHale was making his Netflix ripoff of Tosh’s old show when the US Taskmaster tried to be a thing. But I could be wrong.
Oh hell yeah. Daniel Tosh would have crushed it as Taskmaster.
Another great host IMO, would be Bill Hader.
Wild card host options would be, Colin Quinn,
As for contestants, I think the following would make for interesting and a good fit.
Mindy Kaling, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Hader, Dulcé Sloan, Tig Notaro, Leslie Jones, Fortune Feimster, Deon Cole, Pete Holmes, Will Sasso, Eric Andre, Tim Dillon, Theo Von, Bobby Lee, Ronny Chieng, Ali Wong, Iliza Shlesinger, Jimmy O. Yang, Tiffany Haddish, Craig Robinson, Margaret Cho, Sinbad, Kristen Schaal, John Leguizamo, Whitney Cummings, David Cross, Mike Birbiglia, Demetri Martin, Taylor Tomlinson, Tracy Morgan, Martin Lawrence, and Brian Regan.
My first Taskmaster (American) ‘dream team’ would be, Mindy Kaling, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Hader, Kristen Schaal, Theo Von, and Fortune Feimster.
