Taskmaster Intro

Hello, and welcome to Taskmaster. I'm Greg Davies, and I am the Taskmaster. And I mean the real one, not the comic book villain that pops up when you google me. We've both got our skills. He can mimic any fighting style, and I can take down an 18-inch pizza in one by unhooking my jaw like a mighty human snake. Mm! Ssss! Delicious. And I'm the only Taskmaster that wields power over trophy-hungry comedians. They are my fantastic five, and they are ready to save the world by being rubbish at tasks.

Assistant Intro

And next to me is someone who I can be a little bit cruel to but, at the end of the day, I'm proud to call my best friend. It's Trunky, the naughty elephant! Love you, Trunky! And next to him, a wretched, hairy weasel! Little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So what have we learnt today? We've learnt that people come in different shapes and sizes. But not ducks. No. Ducks come in one size and one size only. And if you've got an issue with that fact, you'd better speak to this guy. Bye-bye, everyone. You can go now, but don't forget who won tonight. It was Dara Ó Briain.
