Get ready for a hilarious twist on the beloved British panel show, Taskmaster! The upcoming 21st season is set to be a star-studded affair, with a unique blend of comedy and talent.
Taskmaster, a show that has captivated audiences in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, is bringing on board the incredible Kumail Nanjiani, known for his roles as the reformed Kingo and his recent appearance on Fallout. But here's the twist: Nanjiani will be joined by an equally impressive cast, including comedian Amy Gledhill, TV presenter Joel Dommett, and Gavin & Stacey's Joanna Page. And wait, there's more! The legendary Armando Iannucci, known for his work on Veep and as the mastermind behind Malcolm Tucker and The Thick Of It, will also be part of this hilarious crew.
This season promises to be extra special as it features not one, but two Oscar-nominated writers - Iannucci and Nanjiani. Their impressive writing credentials from In The Loop and The Big Sick, respectively, won't save them from the hilarious chaos that awaits. Taskmaster, a unique blend of prank show, panel show, and lateral thinking challenge, thrives on putting funny people in extreme situations, and the results are always side-splittingly funny.
The news of this stellar cast comes just as Taskmaster is making a bold move to win over American audiences. Series creator Alex Horne and host Greg Davies are embarking on a US tour, starting in Chicago, to showcase the show's hilarious appeal. If you're curious about Taskmaster and want to catch up on the fun, you can find the entire series, including Jason Mantzoukas' chaotic episodes, on YouTube.
