Taskmaster Intro
Ho ho ho, and welcome to Kongen Befaler's Christmas special. This isn't the regular Kongen Befaler, but it's two intense episodes packed with tasks and Christmas spirit, which will end with one participant walking away with the grand prize: a Christmas bauble in gold, with a picture of me!
Assistant Intro
But there's no Christmas season without Santa, and Santa is here with us, of course, straight out of the Finnish forests: Olli Wermskog.
