Taskmaster Series 19 Interview with Alex Horne & Taskmaster Greg Davies

 

Series creator Alex Horne and the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies were nice enough to chat with me over Zoom in the above interview. We go over the new cast, which includes: Mathew Baynton, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Rosie Ramsey, Stevie Martin and How Did This Get Made's Jason Mantzoukas.

Highlights including: eating a very large cookie, discussing Junior Taskmaster, the idea of a Taskmaster Pop-Up at a restaurant, how different Jason made the series, Greg being covered in butter, what Greg & Alex want to guest on and, of course, if the new Einstein tongue out photo of Greg was real or CGI'd.

 

Tuesday, in New York City, the Taskmaster Series 19 premiere took place and a press release told us that: "Afterwards, there was a Q&A with series host / taskmaster Greg Davies and series creator / taskmaster’s assistant Alex Horne, moderated by Josh Gondelman. They then had audience members complete special tasks such as throwing paper planes to see who could land closest to Alex's mouth, decoding a phone number using clues to call Greg on stage, and a pattern memory game with sequences of blue and pink.

The winner from each task was then brought on stage to compete in one final task together culminating in one winner. After the Q&A and tasks were finished, Greg and Alex ran up and down the aisles allowing fans to capture selfies with them as they quickly went by."

Gotta love that even for a premiere they had tasks for fans.

Can't wait for the 19th series to start on the Taskmaster YouTube Channel and via the SVOD service Taskmaster SuperMax+
