Episode 1: Kamal Kharmach
Episode synopsis
In this episode the contestants must bring in the hippest item of clothing, rescue a cat from a tree, impress a Mayor, conceal a pineapple on their person, and then pop on a onesie inside a tent. In a thrilling tie-breaker, three contestants must estimate how much it costs to rescue a cat from a tree.
Contestant Intros
A woman who's in with a shot if I ever refresh K3: the amazing Frieda Van Wijck!
Note: K3 was a Belgian pop group consisting of three women, with the line-up changing over the years. Gert founded the group, and is rumoured to have dated two of its members.
A man who's funnier than Bumba, but Bumba speaks better Dutch than he does: the great Sven de Ridder!
Note: Bumba is the titular clown character from a Flemish television programme for toddlers, produced by Gert's production company, Studio 100.
A young fawn who's as hoppity as Wizzy & Woppy, Maya the Bee, and my entire village of gnomes: the ravishing Olga Leyers!
Note: Wizzy & Woppy, Maya the Bee, and Kabouter Plop ['Plop the Gnome'] are all children's TV programmes that were produced by Gert's production company, Studio 100.
The Mega Toby of the art of imitation, and I do so admire him. Earlier he showed off his Guga Baul imitation, and it was so good! It's Guga Baùl!
Note: Mega Toby was a kid's TV movie produced by Gert's production company, Studio 100.
A comedian who's so Moroccan that he brought his own tajine with him, as well as his thirty siblings: Kamal Kharmach!
Assistant Intro
And, because I have a busy life myself, I hired an assistant to oversee the process: Ruth Beeckmans!
Taskmaster's Sign-off
What did we learn today? It's not easy to squirt a cat out of a tree. It's best to hide a whole pineapple on your body. And we learned that Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams are not the same person.
