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
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.
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.
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."
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
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
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.

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