Taskmaster Intro

Good evening. Welcome to the season finale of Taskmaster. My name is Jeremy Wells, and I am the Taskmaster. For the last 10 weeks, we have watched five comedians attempt a series of mind-boggling tasks, set by me. Tonight, we'll do it again. I will judge them, and we'll finally be able to crown our first Taskmaster champion. They will walk away with not only the respect of a nation, but with the most impressive prize package ever given away on New Zealand television: a golden replica of my head, and no money. Let's meet our comedians for the last time.

Assistant Intro

To my left, the bravest and most handsome man I know, with a mind so sharp, Ernest Rutherford is now officially the second most intelligent person from Nelson. I promised him one introduction this season where I made him sound good... it's Paul Williams.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

It's been a pleasure to bring you Taskmaster Series One. Thank you to our contestants, to Paul Williams, my assistant, and if you've watched the whole thing, thanks for not desserting us. Sorry, deserting us. With any luck, I'll see you again soon. Thanks so much for watching. Night-night.
