Do you watch any of the other Taskmaster versions?

We watch the UK one (of course), plus the NZ one in my house (their second series is brilliant). I tried the US one but I’m not sure I even got through the first episode.

I’ve heard that the Norwegian (or was it the Danish?) Taskmaster was good but I haven’t tried yet. There’s quite a few to chose from now, too many for me to try myself.

          If you want more of the chaotic energy you should check out Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling bee.

          The show is designed to devolve into madness.

          I’ll have to try again, I tried watching it and it felt like a budget Alex and Gregg.

          The comedians.werent very funny and the jokes just fell flat. It felt almost American.

    I gave the US Taskmaster a try but couldn’t get into it. Lisa Lampanelli continued swearing, was aggravating as it was too much. If I remember correctly, she tended to interrupt others and appeared to deliberately stir up conflicts with people. It was very off putting.

    I oddly can’t remember if I watched the first episode of NZ Taskmaster or not. Is it worth a watch?

      I don’t give a shit if anyone swears, but she was just annoying to the point that the show was unwatchable.

      NZ Taskmaster is pretty solid. The host is kind of a dud, but the “assistant” is brilliant, and NZ comedians are somehow always a hoot.
