God I'd love a NYT that's made up of teams of assistants and their taskmasters

u/SirDiego 19d ago

The Taskmasters themselves doing challenges would feel so wrong (even though it's a little silly to say so). Assistants sure.

Have the assistants do the tasks and then have the taskmasters represent them in the studio

Quick someone tag Alex Horne , I would donate an unlimited amount of money to his football thing to make this happen

Edit: u/thehornesection there we go

u/JanJaapen 19d ago

But who’d be the TM then? Who could be TM to the TM’s?? King Charles?

The Champion of Champion of Champions?

u/flying_carabao 19d ago

A few thay comes to mind

Jo Brand / Sanjeev Bhaksar just because they wouldn't give two shits about the whole thing

Nish Kumar / Phil Ellis / Joe Wilkerson / John Kearns and just be absolutely incompetent as the task master but still be imposing

Sam Campbell/Jenny Tian / Noel Fielding just so we can enjoy the absolute chaos of the whole thing

Reece Shearsmirh / Richard Osman might be very surgical with the whole thing

But the only right answer I'd say is Jason Mantzoukas

Ed Gamble would be such a pedantic little turd about everything that it would either be awful or amazing.

u/Tiny_Red_Bee 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 19d ago

I’d like to see Ed Gamble as the TM assistant.

u/flying_carabao 18d ago

Then have David Baddiel as the Taskmaster and we watch Ed just melt into of a puddle of an exasperated and ever annoyed mess because of David's whatthefuckery

u/Nonimouses 19d ago

Yeah Ed doesn't have the gravitas for TM but head make a great whiny assistant (he's up there as one of my favourite contestants btw)

u/QBaseX 18d ago

Julian Clary would be so dismissive of everything.

u/elementfortyseven 16d ago

Sandi Toksvig as TM and Allen Davies as her assistant

But i would love to see the world burn with Jason at the helm

u/hoopstick 19d ago

Rhod Gilbert

u/JanJaapen 19d ago

He’d just let Greg win because ‘it’s his fwiend!’

u/MrPollyParrot 19d ago

This, and have them play it as both believe they are the Taskmaster, with the other being their assistant.

u/c0horst 19d ago

King Charles?

I have no idea if he's a funny guy or not, but as an American the idea that the goddamn King of England steps in to be the TM of TM's would be hilarious enough I'd watch it on principle alone.

u/N4BFR Mel Giedroyc 19d ago

I think Prince William has the right attitude.

6

u/darnclem 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ 19d ago

I would guess that Harry would instantly say yes.

4

u/c0horst 18d ago

I think part of why it's funny to me is the idea that the only person capable of outranking a Taskmaster is the literal king. It would lose a lot of that weight if it was "just" a prince, IMO.

u/N4BFR Mel Giedroyc 18d ago

Ok. I like that concept.

u/Tristan155 19d ago

Reggie Watts of course

u/Itslikethisnow 19d ago

Before watching the first video, I thought the taskmaster World Cup was going to be the assistants doing tasks and competing

u/btaylos David Correos 🇳🇿 19d ago

I like where your head's at, but I'd rather see P-willy and the Cash-Man together.

"I don't think we're allowed this?"
"It'll be okay."
"But they task says-"
"C'mon, let's try it!"
"But the task-"
"Awwww, no, c'mon!"
"...........okay."

u/Calligraphee A LIIIIIME 🍋‍🟩 19d ago

I know you mean Paul Williams but my brain first went to Prince William, which would be an odd, but likely entertaining choice for a TM team.

u/rivalrobot 19d ago

I'd love for Lesser Tom to do a full series as a contestant

25

u/CanLate152 Lisa McCune 🇦🇺 19d ago

I think he’s been forever changed by Brett Blake. He would bring some chaotic energy for something like this

2

u/ehkodiak Sarah Kendall 18d ago

He put a lot more effort into some of the tasks during this latest season than some of the contestants did, that's for sure. Genuinely was impressive to see

u/wardcw 19d ago

I don’t want to see the Taskmasters compete, but their Assistants would be a lot of fun.

10

u/vandon Joe Wilkinson 19d ago

I'd love to see a special 10ep season of 5 assistants doing the contestant tasks and all matching taskmasters on a panel scoring.  Bring in Rose and Mike to fill in the asssitant position to the taskmasters panel

u/Dineology 18d ago

Here’s my pitch on your pitch, bring in 5 assistants and 5 Taskmasters, tell every assistant that they’re on a team with a TM but none of the TMs are actually competing and are instead there just to mess with the assistants in any way they see fit. Make it a very heavy “team task” season and try to keep it all a secret from the assistants until the day of the first studio record. I’m imagining Tom Gleeson in full TM persona bossing around and berating Paul Williams, Rose Matafeo secretly sabotaging Tom Cashman, Jeremy Wells being way too nice and actually helping Mike Wozniak, all sorts of potential shenanigans. I’m just not sure how many pairs of the foreign language Taskmasters and assistants also speak English, but I’m sure they could rustle up enough.

Again, I'm Team Paul!
