Taskmaster Intro

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Taskmaster! My name is Louis Morissette, and I am the Taskmaster. But what is 'Taskmaster'? That's easy. Over the last few weeks, I've created a series of tasks for five beloved comedians to complete. Together, we'll see what they did, and how they did it. As the Taskmaster, I'll give out top points to the most deserving contestant, based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria. The overall winner of this season will take home the greatest prize in the history of television: a golden replica of my head!
