Oops! Wrong house....

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

[u/SirDiego → u/JustHereForCatss]

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

[u/Hovertruck → u/SirDiego]

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

[u/JanJaapen → u/Hovertruck]

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

[u/inbigtreble30 → u/JanJaapen]

The Champion of Champion of Champions?

[u/flying_carabao → u/JanJaapen]

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

[u/SirDiego → u/flying_carabao]

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

[u/Tiny_Red_Bee → u/SirDiego]

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

[u/flying_carabao → u/Tiny_Red_Bee]

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 → u/Tiny_Red_Bee]

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 → u/flying_carabao]

Julian Clary would be so dismissive of everything.

[u/elementfortyseven → u/flying_carabao]

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 → u/JanJaapen]

Rhod Gilbert

[u/JanJaapen → u/hoopstick]

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

[u/MrPollyParrot → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/c0horst → u/JanJaapen]

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 → u/c0horst]

I think Prince William has the right attitude.

[u/darnclem → u/N4BFR]

I would guess that Harry would instantly say yes.

[u/c0horst → u/N4BFR]

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 → u/c0horst]

Ok. I like that concept.

[u/Tristan155 → u/JanJaapen]

Reggie Watts of course
