The line-up for Series 19 of Taskmaster has been revealed.
The show confirms: "Competing in the fiercest and most absurd show on television and preparing to tackle perplexing and extraordinary challenges in the name of critically-acclaimed entertainment are: comedian and writer Fatiha El-Ghorri (Live At The Apollo); American comedian, actor and podcaster Jason Mantzoukas (Big Mouth, Brooklyn Nine-Nine); actor and writer Mathew Baynton (Ghosts); podcaster and broadcaster Rosie Ramsey (Sh**ged. Married. Annoyed); and comedian, actor and podcaster Stevie Martin (Starstruck).
"Each are hoping to win valuable points, eternal glory, and favourable treatment from the Taskmaster, but who will emerge victorious, raise the trophy above their head, and call themselves a Taskmaster champion?"
There was actually a subtle clue to this line-up in Series 18 of the show, as Alex Horne wore a t-shirt at one point featuring the initials of the above contestants on it.
The studio segments of Series 19, with Greg Davies as host, were recorded in September. The ten episode series will air on Channel 4 soon. Transmission details will be revealed in due course.
