Good evening. My name is Louis Morissette,
and I am the Taskmaster.
Over the past few weeks,
I have devised a series of tasks
for five beloved comedians to complete.
Together, we'll discover what they did, and how they did it.
As the Taskmaster, I'll hand out points to the most deserving contestants
based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria.
The winner of the season
will take home the greatest prize in television history:
a replica of my head... in gold!
[Episode title: "The Candle is Dead"]
Thank you! Oh, that's so nice of you!
And here are the comedians
I've been getting to know all season,
and who have confirmed every worry I had about them:
Marie-Lyne Joncas!
Mona de Grenoble!
Hello! Hello my babies!
Bro! Kevin Raphaël!
Phil Roy!
Oh, come on!
And Tammy Verge!
And please welcome my nearly-perfect assistant:
Antoine Vézina.
Thank you! Thank you!
Louis, what do I need to do to be perfect?
Well, maybe ask fewer questions.
Ah, okay.
But let's say... - No, he hasn't listened!
Oh, no! I fell right into that! - You didn't understand!
So, Antoine... - Yes.
We're going to start, as we always do, with the prize task. - What a sketch!
Yes, we'll start with the prize task, please.
It's an excellent sketch; stop it! I like goofing around with you.
You show me the way.
I learn a lot from Louis.
Of course!
They're playing for prizes tonight, and as usual
you've asked them to bring in items that respect a particular theme.
You'll hand out points once you've seen them all.
Tonight's theme...
Ha ha! Sorry.
"The weirdest wooden thing."
Ah! My goodness.
I'm looking forward to seeing which ones will be extra salacious,
because they already bring fairly salacious things in for the prize task, don't they?
Oh, yes! We've seen... plenty of them.
Well, here! Let's have a look at Phil Roy's item.
[Marie-Lyne] Ah, yes; here we go.
Mine isn't salacious!
[Marie-Lyne] What?
It's a laptop table,
so you can work standing up.
Is that what you used for the WiFi Comédie Club? [virtual comedy show hosted by Phil]
Yes; exactly. It's weird because it's still standing,
and it's weird because so many people have leaned on it.
It's held together by four screws and two nails.
And you can see that one of them in the back, there,
is going, "Well, I'm outta here."
So...
And who made it?
I did! I designed it, I built it, I stained it.
I did it all.
[Tammy] Wow!
And people think that it looks solid,
but it's a piece of crap.
Weird and wooden. For now, that works.
Let's see Mona's item, now.
Yes. So, it's a sign...
So, right at the start, let's appreciate
the mediocre pun: "Bar B Q."
I love that!
The bizarre thing is, I don't know who it belongs to.
It's not mine.
I have a room at home for my drag outfits,
and at some point when I was
picking up some costumes, I found this.
It's not my boyfriend's,
it's not my roommate's, it's not mine.
It just appeared at my place.
So I brought it in today hoping that someone will
take this cursed bad pun sign home.
Because I don't know where it came from; it just appeared.
Ah, so people go to your place, leave stuff,
and take other stuff?
Well, I'm from the country. I never lock my doors,
so, living downtown [Montreal], I'm sure I get occasional visitors.
Let's see Kevin's item, now.
Yeah!
Yeah, logs are weird. - Oh, that's so weird, eh?
No, no. These are the logs...
Kevin always starts the same way:
"This is gonna take me 10 seconds to explain."
Hang on! These are from my mother-in-law's house.
What's weird about them?
Well, they're hers!
I have a fireplace.
Okay?
So, I have a fireplace... - You have your logs.
Well, they're not MY logs; they're HER logs.
So, when I go to her place for Sunday dinner,
I don't leave with Tupperware.
I leave with logs.
Wow, that's weird, eh?
This way, I don't have to buy logs.
That's so weird.
Okay. That's not weird.
YOU'RE weird!
But I just wanna say, we keep saying that
Kev isn't putting any effort into this,
but coming up with all of these explanations
requires quite a bit of effort. Seriously! - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Yes!
He makes horrible decisions,
but then he works hard to justify them.
He was home going, "A weird wooden thing..."
He glances at his logs and goes,
"I'll come up with something weird about this."
[Louis] "I'll invent a mother-in-law and everything."
Hang on. Are you a "patnais" [homie/dude/bro]? - Log homie!
So far, it's a physical chemistry homie, it's a log homie...
What's a "patnais"?
Like... yeah. What is it? - A bro.
A human being.
Yeah, that's it. A human being.
A bro, but more French. Okay.
This is all very interesting.
And weird!
And weird. But not all wood.
In any case, let's see Tammy's item.
What has she brought in?
It's a wooden wallet.
What?
My uncle is a cabinet maker,
and we do a Christmas gift exchange every year where everyone
brings something from home.
He brought this wooden wallet, and my daughter won it.
It really is made out of wood!
Yes, it's made of cork.
You can't run wood through a sewing machine, Tammy.
It's wood.
Really!
It's wood bark.
It's wood.
How do YOU know that it's real?
[Marie-Lyne] They've been dating for 20 years. - They live together, Kevin.
He steals Tammy's mother's logs.
Thank you.
Does that clear things up for you?
We've been joking about this for two and a half months, Kevin.
Yeah, but I thought they might just have been dating casually,
I don't know. I don't know.
Just one item left. Marie-Lyne's.
Yes! Yes!
It's... - [Mona] That's not wooden.
[Mona] That's not wood.
[Marie-Lyne] These are sheets made from wood.
Do you and Tammy share an uncle?
Let me see the tag. There's polyester in there.
There are definitely splinters in there.
You may not have known this.
They've made bamboo sheets, they've made linen sheets,
now they're making wooden sheets. Thyme wood!
Ah!
I gift them, and they've very soft.
Okay, perfect. Let's give out some points.
Honestly, I'm quite intrigued by the wooden wallet.
5 points for Tammy. - Yes!
5 points, Tammy.
I want it!
Yes, yes, I want it. I want to taste it.
Four... four, Marie-Lyne.
4 points for Marie-Lyne. - Four, Marie-Lyne?
And... three for Mona.
[Mona] Thank you.
Two for Phil, and one for Kevin. - Two, Phil.
[Louis] Kevin, wooden logs...
The "very, very weird" wooden logs.
Consider yourself lucky that you can't lose points for that, because...
Raw material! He brought in the raw material, Louis!
He started with the most basic substance.
That's the bizarre part of it.
Task 1, please.
Of course. It's a task that took the wind out of them!
"Coo-coo"!
New spot?
Yes!
It's very industrial-looking. I like it.
What's this?
My god, there's a lot to be done, here.
You're lighting a candle?
It's more romantic.
"Extinguish this candle from as far away as possible."
"The furthest from the candle"
"when it goes out wins."
"You may not relight the candle once it goes out."
"You have a maximum of 10 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
[Antoine] Here we go.
Wow! This is so fun! Okay, okay...
"This is so fun!"
Simple enough.
They could use the objects available to them, there.
Yes. They had to extinguish the candle from as far away as possible.
Just once. - Just once.
They couldn't relight it.
And we measured how far they were afterward.
Let's start with Phil, Mona, and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
Oh boy.
You see, I don't believe in badminton.
[Antoine] You don't believe in badminton?
I don't believe... it doesn't actually exist. It's like planes.
If I ever see one, then I'll believe in it.
But I've never seen a plane.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
16, 17.
It's 17 squares away from the candle.
[Antoine] Okay, so you've counted the tiles with a bit of plastic.
That part's done. - Yes.
[Antoine] And?
[Mona] Hold the end.
Tell me if you feel the air, my dear Antoine.
Yes! Oh my god, yes! I can smell it!
[Mona] Yes, I'm a smoker, eh?
And? - It smells weird.
Four minutes.
Ah!
Oh my goodness, you guys!
It's quite the reception, Antoine.
Oh, wow!
[Antoine] The old string in a plastic cup...
[Antoine] ...with a rubber band around it. - Mm-hmm.
[Antoine] And that's for...?
Antoine, I don't know what I'm doing any better than you do.
I'm hot, as well.
[Phil] Do you know what I like the most?
Constructing a plan. You know?
This has a "blow" switch and a "suck" switch, eh?
Is that possible? Who am I talking to?
To me. But I'm sorry, I don't have an answer.
[Antoine] I'm not answering. Because I don't believe in vacuum cleaners.
Oh, you don't believe in them? You've never seen one?
[Antoine] No, I've never seen one.
Tammy told me about that.
She's the only one who does anything around the house.
[Antoine] It's flickering!
I'm getting somewhere.
[Antoine] You're getting us ready for something, there.
Well, let's say I'm going to go as far away as possible.
Yes, that's what you need to do.
Is it blowing?
Yes.
This is pushing the air.
Mr. Handyman.
Okay.
This is useless, what I'm doing.
Hmm! A big success!
What if you held this?
I'm fed up, Phil.
Well, because you're there, anyway.
Don't move.
[Antoine] You do have to extinguish it.
Yes, I know, I know, I know!
Yes!
I broke the machine!
Hang on a sec!
Jesus fucking Christ!
Did we get it?
Yes!
I did it from here.
I'm dying of heat.
Oh, yes!
It's better than nothing!
Oh, no!
No!
Phil!
No!
I know how you're feeling right now. It's okay.
Phil.
You're moving to the suburbs soon.
You need to learn how to use a hose, for goodness' sake.
It's true. Fucking thing! - Philly-boy.
Yeah!
You managed to blow it out in the end, but, look...
Well, I didn't want to fail the task.
I blew the candle out but from the LEAST far away.
I'm obligated to thank Saint-Bruno Camping [area where LMdJ house is]
for generously lending us the hose from their crawlspace.
They're a sponsor.
Ah, that explains the sores!
[Mona] Ah, dammit!
Do we have their distances, Antoine?
We do have their distances.
So, Mona, 15 metres... - Well done!
That was the longest.
4 metres for Marie-Lyne,
and 22 centimetres for Phil.
Well, my breath went pretty far!
Let me ask you a question:
Do you think Tammy and Kevin beat you, Mona?
Uh, no, because
I'm made of what's known as "the winning stuff".
I have, uh... - Okay, fine.
We'll see if she's right, right after the break!
I think you might have had a little stroke, there.
In my recollection of that task,
I was incredibly fast
and brilliant, and...
you know, like, I was...
I left there going, "Yeah!"
And I said to you,
"Wow! I bet I would have enjoyed the games on 'Big Brother'!"
"I would have nailed them!" I was so confident, you know?
Welcome back to Le Maître du Jeu.
Antoine, we're in the middle of a candle task.
Yes, our contestants had to extinguish a candle's flame
from the furthest away possible.
Yes, and it's the distance that counts.
It's the distance that counts.
We've seen Phil, Marie-Lyne, and Mona's attempts.
We have Kevin and Tammy's attempts left.
Let's try the badminton racket. I just wanna try it once.
Ah!
No. Okay.
My plan is to...
throw water at it.
Okay.
I'm not that far away.
True.
Shit!
If I make that sculpture fall... - Yeah?
It's going to go out.
[Antoine] Well, I imagine so.
So I'd win the task?
Oh, watch out!
It's possible. Possible.
Oh!
Okay.
One... two...
Woo!
Yo, did you see that, bro? - I saw that, man!
[Kevin in task] That wasn't bad!
Yo! Who said I never put any effort into this show?
I used chairs!
Wow!
I lined them up!
I went, "Ah!"
Bro! Your candle's dead, man!
Bang!
You scared me a little with the rubber bands in the beginning.
I thought that would work.
You thought that would work? Hmmm!
It might have!
Of course!
Highly unlikely, but it might have.
Yes, but onto Tammy. You certainly were very focused.
Oh, I took it very seriously.
It's... it's... That was really intense, eh?
Yeah, you were really intense!
But it paid off!
[Antoine] Yes!
It did go out!
It looked a bit like an exorcism.
[Louis] With holy water.
I'm telling you, they could have frozen it and gotten
a beautiful curling rink. Wow!
Yeah, there was quite a bit of water, there.
So, it was 6 metres for Tammy.
Well done, actually.
Very good.
And it was 16 metres for Kevin,
who beat Mona by 1 metre!
You won!
Mine was 15, man.
Oh, I won?
You won! - Yes, by a metre!
Yes! Yes! Yes! - Ah, he's miming a crown.
Ah, yes, that was a crown? - Yes, that was a crown!
I'll start over, okay?
Is it just me, or is his crown too big?
Either way... - He said, "His crown is too big!"
Kevin: 5 points. Mona, who is in second... four.
Tammy? - Three.
Marie-Lyne? - Two.
Phil? - One.
Well done! Okay. So... Good job, Kev.
Who's in the lead so far, Antoine?
For now, Tammy is.
[Louis] We're ready for the second task.
Of course. It's a task of few words.
Or, actually, of few letters.
Hey! Alright!
Hey!
Hello!
There's no envelope!
But there's nothing here.
[Kevin] Did you guys forget the task?
Oh, okay, yeah!
Is it in a really obvious place, and I look like an idiot?
Um...
Hello, hello.
♪ A bird in a cage with a task ♪
Taskmaster crow in his cage.
Am I supposed to be seeing something?
Ah!
It's with the frightening crow!
[Marie-Lyne] This isn't funny, you know.
I know you're laughing at me, but it's hidden.
[Antoine] It isn't hidden.
It isn't hidden? - No.
Ha, ha! I like it!
Okay.
What's this one gonna be?
"R. Your time starts now. Now look in the microwave."
A treasure hunt! Ha, ha!
Is that what this is?
This is so stupid.
Is it gonna be, like, when I find the envelope: there!
That was the task?
[Antoine] No, it's actually... You'll read it and you'll..
I'll do a task.
[Antoine] Yeah.
"R. Your time starts now."
"Now go look in the microwave."
"Go look in the microwave."
The microwave... Where is the microwave?
[Antoine] But you can see, it, right?
The envelope with the circle on it?
Well of course...
I know the one you're talking about.
But, you know, I mean... Ah, it's here.
Really? Wow. I looked in this area for so long!
[Antoine] Yes, I know!
[Louis] Okay.
Obviously, I'm not present for the tasks.
You are.
Yes, I am.
I see everything.
You see more than some others do.
So I asked the crew, "How long did Marie-Lyne take to find the envelope?"
But there's nothing here.
There's nothing!
I know the one you're talking about.
But, you know, I mean... Ah, it's here.
Okay.
Really? Wow. I looked in this area for so long!
[Antoine] Yes, I know! Two or three times.
Yeah!
Hey! It took her longer to find the task than to count the beans. [episode 1 solo task]
I had long days, I was tired.
I was burnt out.
I didn't see it.
In my defence, there was a white wall behind it.
White on white made it pretty difficult, okay?
[Louis] Yes, fine, that's good, perfect. Well-spotted.
I think I completed the actual task in less time than that.
So the task was a sort of treasure hunt.
Yes, like Mona said.
To the quickest person will go... the points!
I was searching for a word, there.
Okay, let's start with Phil, Kevin, and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
Yo, I hate these kinds of games, man.
Is there a microwave in here?
Okay.
Hello!
"I. Go look in the lab."
[Kevin] Oh, microwave!
Okay.
There's an envelope in it!
"Go look in the lab."
"E. Go look in the shed."
"Go look in the shed."
Shed... shed...
Okay.
Argh!
Found it!
[Kevin] "Go look in the P book."
[Kevin] "The P book." It must be inside it.
[Phil] "The P book"? Ah!
P, "pear". [the books spell "poire" = "pear"]
How do I know which P book it is? Oh, okay, P!
Hey!
[Marie-Lyne] Well, it said, "Go look in the book."
"The book"?
There aren't any other... - "In the book."
[Antoine] It didn't say anything else?
[Marie-Lyne] It didn't say anything else.
[Antoine] In the book?
[Marie-Lyne] In the book.
But there are books everywhere.
Oh! Ha, ha!
Okay.
[Phil] "C. At the beginning."
Laugh? Laugh C? ["riez" = "laugh"]
Maybe it's in here.
I don't understand.
Laugh C at the beginning?
Which book?
Well, it'll be the last one.
Oh!
"C. At the beginning."
"C at the beginning"?
Laughing is at the beginning? Ha, ha! ["C" sounds like "c'est", which means "it is"]
No?
C...
C? C.
C. That means that I'm missing two Cs.
Shit! Did I have to keep all of the tasks?
Oh, fuck!
Oh, no!
Damn!
Oh, no!
E.
Z.
Here it is. Okay.
Riez [laugh]...
[Kevin] After that... "Go look in the shed."
[Kevin] "Go look... Z."
Okay!
[Antoine] Stop the time.
[Kevin] "Laugh."
With a C at the end.
I don't understand- "Scream!"
Woo!
Oof!
[Antoine] That's all we needed.
Jesus Christ... - Oh, my god!
[Mona] I remembered you and the microwave in the kitchen.
[Tammy] Yeah! There's a microwave in the kitchen!
[Mona] Not exactly geniuses!
You know, if you just had to scream to win,
I'd say that Kevin won at minute 2 of episode 1.
5 points for me!
He's gonna put his huge crown back on!
Phil, how did you find that?
Well, it's not the brightest I've looked in my life.
"Laugh, C at the beginning. 'C'est' (it's) at the beginning... Ha, ha!"
Then I watched it back and it was, like, pretty obvious.
I see everyone in the audience going, "Scream!"
Everyone got it.
"Come on, Jesus, it's taking him so long!"
You know when you see the end coming and you go,
"Come on! He's right behind you! What are you doing?"
"The bad guy is right behind you!"
"Come on, scream!" Yes, that's how I feel.
Oh, wow!
Okay. And Marie-Lyne, I think that
during that task, you might have had a little stroke, there.
In my recollection of that task,
I was incredibly fast
and brilliant, and...
you know, like, I was...
I left there going, "Yeah!"
And I said to you,
"Wow! I bet I would have enjoyed the games on 'Big Brother'!" [Mona was on and won]
"I would have nailed them!"
I was so confident, you know?
But the human body is so well-designed.
We suppress our horrible traumas. We forget!
That's kind of what happened to you.
But you were very endearing.
Can we have our times?
Yeah, in terms of time?
Well, we'll take a look at those... after the break!
No!
"Predict what Mona de Grenoble will do..."
"...what Tammy Verge will do..."
"...what Phil Roy will do..."
"...what Marie-Lyne Joncas will do..."
"...what Kevin Raphaël will do with one of the objects..."
"And do something yourself with one of the objects."
Welcome back to Le Maître du Jeu,
the show in which five comedians complete tasks for my pleasure.
Yes, we're back to the days of the court jester. I love it!
Yes, we're in the middle of a treasure hunt.
Three of our contestants succeeded in deciphering the code.
Phil did it in 4 minutes 41 seconds.
Oh!
Marie-Lyne, in 5 minutes 5 seconds.
You were fast!
And Kevin in 5 minutes 46 seconds.
Okay, that's not bad.
[Louis] Okay, good.
We're not adding 5 minutes from the beginning to Marie-Lyne's time?
No, no, no. The envelope wasn't opened yet.
Did Tammy and Mona fare better?
"Go look in the lab."
Lab! Lab, go look there.
Come on! This is a crazy race!
Uh... Hang on. This is hard to open!
Okay.
"Go look in the shed."
Oh, no. But it's cold out today.
Shed. Shed.
My ass is sagging. Okay.
Hello, shed. Oh!
In the wheelbarrow!
R, I, E. This letter, here... Oops.
...is Z.
"Go look in the P book."
So, "laugh".
"Go look in the book."
But there are a bunch of books!
Is there a book here? Come on!
The P book!
R, I, E, Z.
One.
Yes! The first book!
Ah, Antoine, this is going well!
Okay. "C. At the beginning."
P... P... Pear!
C, R, I, E...
C, R... Oh!
"C. At the beginning."
Did I win anything?
Um...
Usually at the end of a treasure hunt, you win something.
Was that a good time? - Excellent!
Okay, I'm going to go hook myself back up to my oxygen tank, now.
Well done!
Yay!
Bravo, Mona.
Thank you. Well, I had just been cooped up in a manor
with a bunch of broken artists for three months [for Celebrity Big Brother]
doing those kinds of games, so I did pretty well.
My brain was still wired to do them.
While Marie-Lyne was losing precious time,
you were losing... your ass.
Right. No, but that's just getting older.
I'm not rich enough yet to get it all sucked in, there,
so with age, gravity takes effect
and, so, my ass reaches my knees, Louis.
My ass reaches my knees.
Tammy, do you think you got the best time?
I think everything went well, yes;
but I acknowledge that, like Marie-Lyne,
I may not have seen the worst of it.
And I randomly opened the right book first.
It was pure luck.
So, Kevin is in last place. We knew that already.
Man!
Marie-Lyne, second-to-last.
Phil... because, yes,
Mona and Tammy's times were the best.
Well done, friend. I'm very proud of you.
Tammy did it in 2 minutes 34 seconds.
That's very good, that's very good! - Really good.
And Mona did it in 2 minutes 19 seconds!
She's our big winner.
[Mona] In heels!
So, 5 points for Mona, then.
[Kevin] Impressive.
5 points, 4 points; in order...
five, four, three, two, one.
We have a tie between Tammy and Mona!
No, no, no!
We're ready for the next task.
And I predict that you will love this one, Taskmaster.
Oh!
Hello!
I'm having a look around.
I expect that I will be brilliant again at this one.
Oh!
♪ Money money money... ♪
Okay. Mm-hmm!
Oh boy. Okay.
"Predict what Mona de Grenoble will do..."
"...what Tammy Verge will do..."
"...what Phil Roy will do..."
"...what Marie-Lyne Joncas will do..."
"...what Kevin Raphaël will do with one of these objects..."
"...and do something yourself with one of the objects."
"You also get 5 points if Tammy Verge..."
"...if Mona de Grenoble..."
"...Kevin Raphaël..."
"...Marie-Lyne Joncas..."
"...if Phil Roy correctly predicts your own action."
"Your time starts now."
Oh boy.
A slightly more complex task with two or three steps.
Yes. There were five objects on the table.
Yeah.
Our contestants had to predict what another contestant would
do with one of the objects.
"Ah, I think that so-and-so will do this with that."
[Antoine] They'll get points if they end up being correct.
Once they've made their prediction,
they themselves do something,
hopefully in line with someone else's prediction-
Okay, let's just watch it.
It's not super clear. - My nose is bleeding.
But once you see them doing it, you'll understand.
Which also sums up Tammy's performance this season.
So...
What, what?
We'll start with their predictions.
We'll see two of their predictions: Marie-Lyne's and Phil's.
Yes.
It'll all make sense.
[Antoine] So you think that...
I think it's that.
[Antoine] What Kevin did?
That he stole 50 bucks.
Perfect. [Kevin takes the money]
I think Marie-Lyne Joncas did this.
Okay.
Sorry.
[Marie-Lyne blew the airhorn]
Well... - Okay.
I think she would have been disappointed.
I think that would have caused some disappointment.
Okay. So, you see how this works.
Yes.
Marie-Lyne thinks that Kevin will take the money.
And Phil thinks that Marie-Lyne will blow the airhorn.
The "beep-beep." Okay.
And the contestants want to be predictable.
Of course.
Because they earn points for correct guesses.
[Antoine] Exactly that. They want to be predictable, in this case.
So we'll be able to see if their predictions were accurate.
Oof!
Yes. - You did it.
Do you want to take a break?
Let's take a break to recover from that.
Everything will make sense when we return.
You really are a product of your generation.
There's always an excuse.
It's someone else's fault.
You did badly, Phil.
You never told us, "I love you!"
You fathers! Mine never told me that he loved me, anyway!
How can we know it ourselves, then?
Welcome back to Le Maître du Jeu.
We're in the middle of a slightly complicated task.
So, they can earn points
if they successfully predict-
Stop explaining, Louis. We understand how it works.
No, but... No, you're right.
Marie-Lyne thinks Kevin will take the money,
and Phil thinks that Marie-Lyne will blow the airhorn.
Let's see what they actually did.
Who's going to eat the apple?
Anyone who eats the apple is boring.
We're making a TV show.
We're not at a school assembly eating an apple.
What would I do with this?
I'm very tempted by the $50, too.
[Antoine] That's 5 points in the bank.
There. Fail. The predictions failed.
No points for either of them.
Sorry, Phil. Seriously, that was really dumb of me.
It's alright.
But that made it impossible to predict!
Rolling up a $50 bill.
But when you rolled it up, I thought, "Of course."
"Of course; that's it." And me, the druggie...
And Kevin ate the apple.
I couldn't have done that, because I'm allergic to apples.
You're allergic to apples?
If you knew me better, you wouldn't have done that.
Now that everyone has understood the task,
let's see the the rest of it.
Okay.
What did Phil Roy do with...
He made a joke about the money.
That's for sure.
So, Mona de Grenoble...
Well, I want the points, eh? - Yes.
So it has to be something easy to guess.
Yes You know?
So Kevin; I think there's a bit of self-doubt, there.
"I've just gotten started in comedy, I'm still living below the poverty line."
I think she'll put on the headphones and go, "beep!" [Mona blows the airhorn]
I think he knows that, honestly, I'd put the $50 here,
and I'm also gonna leave with the apple
in my other breast, so I can sell it on [Facebook] Marketplace.
[Tammy] What did he do with this?
Umm...
Ah, shit! I have to predict what he did.
Ah! Did he bite the apple?
Okay.
I'm going to...
Did he put these on his testicles? Ha, ha!
This makes noise.
Maybe he likes making... What did he do?
What he did...
He pretended to steal the money.
Perfect. [Phil steals the money]
A money rack. [Phil steals the money]
[Antoine] And do you think that Tammy will guess that?
No, that's the thing.
Tammy is creative, eh?
[Antoine] That's true.
She does improv. - Yeah.
She's funny.
So. Tammy's like, "Look!"
[Tammy uses everything and runs away]
What I'm doing, Antoine, is this.
So, you don't want the 5 points.
What?
Yuck! I'm making myself sick.
Ah!
I thought that... I misread it.
Ugh, apparently it's the most germ-filled thing in the world.
[Antoine] Of course. Why did you put that in your mouth?
I regret it. Because! She won't guess it.
No, you WANT her to guess it.
What?
[Antoine] Thank you.
[Phil] I didn't understand, either.
It's a total and complete failure.
Argh! So annoying!
But you see; when you tried to explain it,
we needed a break to recover from it.
It was complicated.
The medical team arrived.
We only had three seconds,
we had just come back from having completed other tasks.
It's normal that people didn't really understand.
Oh, really, eh?
You really are a product of your generation.
There's always an excuse.
It's someone else's fault.
You did badly, Phil.
You never told us, "I love you!"
You fathers! Mine never told me that he loved me, anyway!
How can we tell ourselves, then?
That's good!
You didn't tell us you loved us!
If only we had gotten a little love!
[Phil] But no!
You were always working!
Working, working, money!
But Louis, are you old enough to have been his dad?
So, you have to give out some points, Taskmaster.
Well, it won't be hard- Give us love!
A big, fat zero for everyone.
It's a failure. They failed!
Yes, but we did stuff!
Don't clap!
We did stuff!
Your task was complicated. Your task was complicated!
[Louis] You were unsuccessful! - Yeah, and?!
Zero points. That changed nothing.
Tammy and Mona are still in the lead.
Okay. Tammy and Mona are neck-and-neck.
There will be one more task
performed live right here, after the break.
It's incomplete.
It's not touching! From here, it's not touching!
That is so mean.
That would have made for some good television.
Everyone would have been happy.
Fuck!
Shit!
Welcome back to Le Maître du Jeu.
It's the final task, and everything could change.
Tammy and Mona are in the lead,
but I think anyone can win if they win this final task.
Yes, which Marie-Lyne will read to us.
Are you able to open it?
Well, it's just mittens. - Easy.
I used to smoke joints with mittens back when I was a smoker.
I don't smoke anymore. It's bad for your health.
"Wearing mittens at all times, balance either all the mints"
"or all the cookies on the spaghetti bridge."
"The mints or the cookies must only touch spaghetti."
"The spaghetti must be balanced on the coconuts."
Oh, for goodness' sake.
"The coconuts must remain on their stands. Fastest wins."
So, you create a spaghetti bridge across the coconuts.
And on this little spaghetti bridge,
you choose to balance either mints or cookies.
They all have to be placed on the spaghetti.
[Phil] Perfect. - [Kevin] All of them? - [Antoine] What? All of them.
The coconuts cannot move.
The mints or cookies - your choice - may only touch the spaghetti,
and everything has to hold.
When you're done, please put your hands on your hips with pride.
The first person to succeed...
If we're not proud, we don't win?
Just pretend, like usual.
Yes!
And we'll go on until everyone has completed the task.
In five, four... - No!
In five...
[Antoine] A spaghetti bridge between two coconuts.
Yeah, but it's breaking! - [Mona] I broke them all.
Yes, of course. It's delicate.
Do you have to use all of the spaghetti?
[Mona] Oh boy. This is going to take a while. - No. Fastest wins.
[Antoine] They have different weights. You choose.
They have to all be on there?
[Antoine] Only mints or only cookies.
Hey, I hope you don't have anything planned right after this.
This could take ages.
My hole is too small for all of my noodles. Ah!
Never mind. False alarm.
[Louis] Phil, Phil, Phil!
Oh, shit!
Go, go, go!
You're still in the game, I'm telling you.
[Louis] No worries.
I remind you that they cannot touch the coconuts.
[Antoine] Only the spaghetti may touch the coconuts.
Whoa, whoa! What do you have in your mouth, Kev?
[Phil] I have to get my spaghetti back.
That's not optimal.
[Antoine] Is he eating something over there?
[Mona] This is so long. Shit!
[Tammy] What are you doing? Do you want a cookie?
[Phil] Have you just quit? Give me your spaghetti, then.
[Kevin] I don't know.
[Antoine & Mona] "Only the spaghetti may touch the coconuts."
[Mona] Seems like that's a clue in itself.
[Antoine] No, but you asked me a question, so I...
Jesus fucking Christ!
[Louis] Tammy is so quiet!
Oh yeah. I really wanna win. You have no idea.
My noodles are limp.
[Tammy] I still haven't won an episode.
I feel like that could happen tonight. - [Louis] Yes, that's true.
But I can't think about that, Louis,
because if I don't, I'll... be really... ah...
Oh come on... - There it is!
They're so smart!
There's space between it.
It's touching, Marie-Lyne. It's touching. - No, there's space.
It's touching, Marie-Lyne.
Hey!
It's touching!
It's not touching. It's not touching, for fuck's sake.
It's incomplete.
It's not touching!
From here, it's not touching!
That is so mean. That would have made for some good television.
Everyone would have been happy. - Fuck! Shit!
That's the second time you've done that!
You walk too close to it and it moves. Fucking thing!
[Antoine] We love you, Phil. We love you. - [Phil] I love you guys, too.
[Phil] I don't love... Yes. - [Marie-Lyne] Hey, I'm shaking. - [Mona] This is hard, yeah.
I really wanna win!
[Antoine] Tammy... relax.
Louis; don't move!
Son of a bitch!
Take these! Take these.
There are two. I gave you two.
[Tammy] You're helping me, Phil. You're sweet. - [Marie-Lyne] I can't stop shaking.
[Kevin] Don't move.
Be proud, be proud! Hands on your hips!
It wasn't touching.
It wasn't touching!
Tammy Verge! Tammy Verge!
And second place for Mona!
Hey, for me, it wasn't touching.
[Louis] Okay.
So, I think we're in agreement that two people successfully completed the task?
I agree.
Three, but it's okay.
You thought it wasn't touching, Marie-Lyne? You're convinced of that?
From my angle, there was light passing through.
[Louis] But that's impossible, because from my angle, it was touching.
[Marie-Lyne] Maybe there was a hair.
Maybe it was just a hair blocking out the light.
Hey, she's not gonna sleep tonight.
Give her a point.
Okay. I am giving you a point.
Thank you. You're kind, Louis.
[Antoine] Yay! 1 point.
Okay, you too, Phil.
Me too?
I might have walked a little too hard near you.
1 point for Phil.
And afterward I looked like I had given up,
but I was helping my friend Tammy.
Kevin, you very much quit.
[Marie-Lyne] He did quit, eh?
Zero points.
So, 4 points for Mona.
Thank you, Loulou! - [Louis] For coming second.
And 5 points for Tammy.
Tammy Verge!
And I don't think I'm wrong, Antoine, in saying that...
Tammy is tonight's winner!
[Antoine] There are just three episodes left,
and Mona seems to have one hand on the trophy already.
[Antoine] Will another comedian make a historic comeback?
Thank you very much, everyone!
We'll see you next week for another episode of Le Maître du Jeu!
