No further updates are being made to the database, except for the dates of upcoming episodes, and links to relevant franchise news. Most of the information has been migrated over to the Taskmaster Wiki. The TMI database will stay up as an archive until the end of 2026.

Task brief

The task brief is laid on a clipboard on one side of a table, and there is a man sat on the opposite side. The brief for the task is as follows:

Find a common acquaintance who is somehow linked to the person sitting in front of you.

The common acquaintance, in other words, is a person that you both know by name, and who also knows you by name from somewhere.

Whoever finds a common acquaintance in the shortest time wins.

You have 12 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

It seems likely that the production team had identified a common acquaintance the man had with each contestant prior to filming, as his answers to their questions are often vague, suggesting that he was directed to hint at the person he had in mind, rather than outright listing specific people, teams, or productions that he was connected with, without prompting.
