Episode 1: Foot Juice

Episode synopsis

In this inaugural episode of the first season of Taskmaster AU, the contestants must bring in the most beautiful thing, remove a balloon from a caravan, create a one minute montage of their lives, fill a glass with orange juice, and throw, boot, bowl, flick, or propel items towards the edge of the stage.

Title context

'Foot Juice' was the name of the movie concept pitched by Nina Oyama, during the 'Fill the glass with orange juice' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Yes, hello and welcome, television viewers, to the first episode of the first season of Taskmaster Australia. I'm Tom Gleeson, and everything I've done in my storied career has led to this. For now, I am no longer just Tom Gleeson - I am the Taskmaster! For 10 weeks, five comedians hand-selected by me will put their brains, bodies, and whatever they have left of their reputations on the line, as they compete to take home the most valuable prize in Australian television history: this golden replica of my stunning head. Let's meet the brave contestants vying for the prize.

Assistant Intro

Oh, and there's someone else I need to introduce. Sitting next to me in a significantly smaller and appropriate chair is a man whose value will become more apparent, hopefully, as the show goes on. It's my assistant, Tom Cashman.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

And that was our first episode. We learned that Nina Oyama went to space, never came back, and somehow stayed here the whole time. And we learned that if you want to make some orange juice, you don't have to break a single orange. We learned that Luke McGregor doesn't know how to read. But most importantly, however, we've learned that Danielle is the winner of episode one of Taskmaster Australia!
