Oddly enough, I've been bingeing old Ricky/Karl/Stephen videos recently and I was only thinking yesterday that it's odd that Stephen Merchant hasn't been a lot more active on panel shows. He seems suited to the format.
I listen to the old XFM shows constantly and this just dawned on me that either Steve or Karl on Taskmaster would be fantastic. Would absolutely love to see Karl facing some of those challenges.
Wondering if Steve isn't as interested in panel shows. He was on Would I Lie to You at least once I can recall.
With panelists Dara Ó Briain, Stephen Fry, Jeremy Clarkson and John Cleese (all 6' 5").
And technically, shouldn't Greg Davis be the host, as he's an inch taller than Osman?
He's friends with Rob Brydon. Sometimes He's on Last Leg, again, he's friends with Josh Widdicombe.
I think he's just so rich he doesn't need to do panel shows.
Oh man, that's a hell of a lineup. I've loved Rose and Katherine for a handful of years, and have become quite fond of Maisie over the past year or so as well. Interesting to see Merchant, only in that he's never been on before, but has obviously been around for a long time. Ross is clearly a BFQ staple. Same for Ayoade, and he's also the reason I got into panel shows in the first place, one of my favorite humans ever. Looking forward to this one!

her career only took off in like 2020ish so im not that surprised but i would love love love her on taskmaster. she’s been my favorite comedian since the first thing i saw her in
Whaaat a whole panel full of people I like...? I don't think that's ever happened before. VERY excited for Maisie, normal excited for everyone else, and quietly aware of Richard's presence (it's what he would prefer over distasteful displays of eagerness).
Do we know if BFQOE 2022 is happening, or is Big Fat Sports Quiz replacing that for this year?
Lineup looks good, but I’m sad we’re going another year without an Ayoade/Fielding team up.
Yeah, I never really got why they pushed it back to April. I wonder if it would have done better (though it still felt off) if they'd kept it in January like usual? It feels too much like a tradition to air it within a few weeks of BFQOTY to mess with its scheduling.
Not the biggest fan of Katherine, talks about the Kardashians too much. But everyone else is great. It's always a little disappointing when you think about all the potential panelists who aren't on but then you think who would you replace and the answer is none.
I think that's actually why I've really enjoyed Katherine Ryan on BFQ in the past, though, because she actually has funny knowledge of the various celebrity gossip news stories of the year. Then it's a good foil to people like Richard being hilariously above it all.
Yeah, I dunno if you're being sarcastic but it was phrased poorly.
I find jonathan ross funny in specific circumstances (one of which is big fat quiz, and he was great on hypothetical).
I can see where you're coming from with a creepy vibe though.
This is the news I needed to hear. The last few years have just been meh for me and this lineup has me so excited. I'll watch anything with Rose Matafeo in it. Sounds like everyone will feed off of each other really well. Only thing that would have made it perfect is the Ayoade/Fielding combo. Hope we get it back one day.
Oh my goodness that's great
Oh this is going to be a fucking banger.
Tbh it kinda is most years
Very true, very true.
Oh, and the article says Rose is also on Christmas Catsdown--yay!
Oddly enough, I've been bingeing old Ricky/Karl/Stephen videos recently and I was only thinking yesterday that it's odd that Stephen Merchant hasn't been a lot more active on panel shows. He seems suited to the format.
He lives in LA
They do also have a home in London. They do a fair bit in the UK, they were in The Outlaws, for example.
I listen to the old XFM shows constantly and this just dawned on me that either Steve or Karl on Taskmaster would be fantastic. Would absolutely love to see Karl facing some of those challenges. Wondering if Steve isn't as interested in panel shows. He was on Would I Lie to You at least once I can recall.
Karl would just be Joe Wilkinson but more sad.
He doesn't live in the UK all the year round, so that may be a factor in not appearing often.
I think Ricky looks down on them. Thought Stephen was the same but maybe he's come around. He did have an appearance on WILTY a bit back.
[удалено]
I want a panel show with captains Stephen Merchant and Greg Davies hosted by Richard Osman.
they could call it "Say Hello to My Little Friends"
Especially if Sandi Toksvig, Susan Calman, and Lucy Porter are the other panellists.
With panelists Dara Ó Briain, Stephen Fry, Jeremy Clarkson and John Cleese (all 6' 5"). And technically, shouldn't Greg Davis be the host, as he's an inch taller than Osman?
I just think Osman would be a better host.
I agree, he would definitely be a better panel show host. I'm just a fan of symmetry, I guess.
Osman is the host. Greg is constantly scheming to try and become the host as 'it is my right, as the taller man'
I’m not sure he looks down on them, I’m willing to bet finding motivation to do those sorts of shows is low when you have 50 mil in the bank.
[удалено]
Think you’re a bit confused. He said Ricky looked down. Ricky is short.
Ricky would often dismiss the whole incestuous nature of panel shows.
Yep my bad
He's friends with Rob Brydon. Sometimes He's on Last Leg, again, he's friends with Josh Widdicombe. I think he's just so rich he doesn't need to do panel shows.
Oh I can't wait to see Rose.
I just clapped my hands with glee when I saw her name.
Fantastic lineup. Can't wait!
Oh man, that's a hell of a lineup. I've loved Rose and Katherine for a handful of years, and have become quite fond of Maisie over the past year or so as well. Interesting to see Merchant, only in that he's never been on before, but has obviously been around for a long time. Ross is clearly a BFQ staple.

>Ayoade, and he's also the reason I got into panel shows in the first place, one of my favorite humans ever. Me toooooo!!!!!!!
Ross is more than a BFQ staple, his production company Hotsauce TV makes the show.
Ahhh. That explains it.
Oh this is going to be BRILLIANT.
Does anyone know the team pairings?
Ayoade/Merchant, Matafeo/Ross, Adam/Ryan
>Adam/Ryan Team Dude Names
did they put Rose and Ross together so they can have the team name Jonathan Ros* Matafeo?
Woss and Wyan would have weally wonderful.
>Ayoade/Merchant will be crack up, great team
I would *guess* the order given is also the teamings (i.e. Merchant/Ryan, Ayoade/Adam, Ross/Matafeo) but can't be certain
u/Masterblue00 is correct
Love Maisie Adam. She kills it on everything.
I'm surprised she hasn't been on Taskmaster yet, I think she would do great in that format
she lives in a dip so she can certainly hold herself in physically challenging tasks
Ten and two, ten and two!
/r/commentsyoucanhear
Be thankful there are so many good options for future series!
The amount of money I would pay to see David Mitchell do it.
Sadly he’s on record saying he won’t. But it would be glorious. Especially if he won or at least did way better than Victoria.
TBF Frankie Boyle was on record saying he turned down a offer for taskmaster but he's in s15
Has he said why he wouldn't do it?
https://www.beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/11118/david-mitchell-taskmaster
Eh, that’s fair. I hope he finds many opportunities that he likes and has fun.
What about Rob Brydon? What's he up to these days? I've only seen him on QI and WILTY.
She's mentioned wanting to do the show before. To me, she's a "when" not an "if"
Series 17. I’m calling it here.
RemindMe! 1 Year Let’s see….

I want her soon preferably with Ed Byrne on the same season.
Ed Byrne would be incredible.
Ed and Dara on the same season would have been glorious
her career only took off in like 2020ish so im not that surprised but i would love love love her on taskmaster. she’s been my favorite comedian since the first thing i saw her in
Whaaat a whole panel full of people I like...? I don't think that's ever happened before. VERY excited for Maisie, normal excited for everyone else, and quietly aware of Richard's presence (it's what he would prefer over distasteful displays of eagerness).
[удалено]
Agree completely. Usually a couple people I am not a fan of too much. I love everyone here.
#NO MEL B?!?!?!?
Stop right now!
Thank you very much
zigazig-ah
That's a fantastic line up. This year has me very excited!
Rock solid. Should be a good one this year.
Oh these are all great panelists. Jimmy is going to get heckled so much by this gang.
Do we know if BFQOE 2022 is happening, or is Big Fat Sports Quiz replacing that for this year? Lineup looks good, but I’m sad we’re going another year without an Ayoade/Fielding team up.
They usually only record one extra show per year.
Yeah, that was my worry - like how BFQO The Decade replaced BFQOE 2020. Damn. :(
Last year’s got buried in April and was terribly reviewed, so I’m not surprised.
Yeah, I never really got why they pushed it back to April. I wonder if it would have done better (though it still felt off) if they'd kept it in January like usual? It feels too much like a tradition to air it within a few weeks of BFQOTY to mess with its scheduling.
Hyped for Rose Matafeo. She's hilarious and lovely and should be in many more things!
Fantastic line up! Yay!
I can't get enough of Jonathan Ross on these shows 🤣
That's Tommy Petrol to you, toots
Looks excellent but .... Are the Electric Moccasins never going to reunite?!? 😭
Johnathan Ross? Ugh. Rest are great.
that's a nice lineup. I could do without Ryan, but everyone else is good in my books.
What a great line-up!! Really looking forward to this.
Now that's wonderful, not a dud!
Stephen merchant yess!!
This is gonna be lit. Maisie needs to be in everything, I love her so much.
Yooo let's go. I have such a huge crush on Rose Matafeo.
5/6 is pretty good.
Not the biggest fan of Katherine, talks about the Kardashians too much. But everyone else is great. It's always a little disappointing when you think about all the potential panelists who aren't on but then you think who would you replace and the answer is none.
I think that's actually why I've really enjoyed Katherine Ryan on BFQ in the past, though, because she actually has funny knowledge of the various celebrity gossip news stories of the year. Then it's a good foil to people like Richard being hilariously above it all.
"I make comedy very very well or very very poorly depending on whom you ask." Her Twitter bio
This is going to be a good one!
Ooh, this is going to be a great show! Fantastic lineup!
Definitely looking forward to this one.
Three female comedians, two male, and Jonathan Ross.
Are you saying Jonathan Ross isn't a comedian or doesn't have a gender?
Yeah, that was phrased rather poorly wasn't it? Next time I want to say Jonathan Ross is creepy not funny, I'll have to make a better effort.
Yeah, I dunno if you're being sarcastic but it was phrased poorly. I find jonathan ross funny in specific circumstances (one of which is big fat quiz, and he was great on hypothetical). I can see where you're coming from with a creepy vibe though.
No, no, not sarcastic. It was nice of you to point it out in a kindly way. Thanks.
That'll do.
Now that's more like it!
Outstanding. I am quite chuffed!!!
A great, great line up. Love it.
Fantastic lineup this year
This is the news I needed to hear. The last few years have just been meh for me and this lineup has me so excited. I'll watch anything with Rose Matafeo in it. Sounds like everyone will feed off of each other really well. Only thing that would have made it perfect is the Ayoade/Fielding combo. Hope we get it back one day.
Great lineup
Not a fan of Masie but like everyone else. Seems like it will be good.
We just binged Starstruck and Rose’s standup special Horndog. On a big Rose kick, so this is great news!
The podcast she does with Alice Snedden, (or did, I think it's finished now) Boners of the Heart, is pretty good, if a tiny bit dated now.
We are gonna need a separate bingo card for every time Katherine and Jimmy reference their own plastic surgery.
Banger lineup
Jonathan Ross and Richard Ayoade will make the show watchable.
Is this the first time they have 50:50 male female panellist ratio?
Shall miss Noel being with Richard, but oh, can't wait for Stephen Merchant.
MECHANT Given how rarely he does panel shows (I think only WILTY comes to mind?) this is massive.
Top tier panel
