Taskmaster Intro

Yes! Hello. Welcome to Taskmaster Australia. My name is Tom Gleeson, but that's just the name my parents gave me - bland and devoid of meaning. On this stage, I am known as the Taskmaster, and am here to judge comedians while sitting atop a throne fit for a king. Or, at the very least, a shopping mall Santa. Unlike Santa, I do not have gifts for every child around the world. I have one gift for one adult. It's a replica of my head. Playing for the golden honour is our cast, as they always are.

Assistant Intro

And I am not on my journey alone. No great man is. Santa has his elves, his deer, and his attentive, loving wife. I've got kind of all of these three rolled into one, in the form of my humble assistant, Tom Cashman.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

We learnt that Tom Cashman could be watching any of us at any moment with a remote-controlled fly. We learnt that Tom Cashman's body double needs Italian lessons. In non-Tom-centric news, we learnt that our winner for episode seven is Jimmy!
