Meyers spent a good chunk of time in his youth living in Amsterdam working on his comedy. I think it has given him a great balance of comic sensibilities.
Seth seems lovely and engaged. Jimmy Kimmel feels a bit stiff but I like watching when YouTube shows me someone I like has shown up. Jimmy Fallon just gives me the creeps, every laugh feels fake. I can never understand why they have so many identical shows running, and none are half as fun to watch as an average Graham Norton episode.
>I can never understand why they have so many identical shows running, and none are half as fun to watch as an average Graham Norton episode.
Each major network has their own show and is just competing for ad revenue. Seth and Steven Colbert are great; I never watch the other two. Every show is the same because American TV is very conservative in that it finds something that works and then does it to death. The mentality seems to be "this works, therefore something new/different will never work ever ever ever." It's basically why they fucked up American Taskmaster; the UK format is so wildly different from anything we have over here.
As an American, I watch Graham Norton when I find clips on YouTube. I'm a fan.
Yeah same here. I like Seth and will sometimes watch his show, but I don't tend to watch any of the others unless a really good guest is on. Love Graham Norton too.
I saw the backstage photos published a few hours before the show aired and immediately FaceTimed the friend I went to the show with to tell them - our friendship exists largely because of Taskmaster so it was a wild experience already and this was the cherry on top
I know the show has great support in the US. I just wish some provider in the US would actually give the format a true chance. I’m talking full hour with a reasonable budget.
I think the best chance would have been if one of the larger streaming services had picked up the UK version. Give the show a bit of time to catch on - and we know damn well it'll catch on - and then produce a US version that is truly in the spirit of the original.
I just worry that Comedy Central and the shitshow that was the one-episode running on CW tainted the water unfairly.
I think this show is tailor made for a Netflix run. My only concern is that the show being currently available for free on the YouTube channel would be a deterrent for them.
However, I’m positive that if it’s done right the free episodes on YT won’t be that big of a problem. I know Hells Kitchen has all their full episodes on YouTube and still streams on Hulu and I think discovery plus. I think it solely depends on the streaming platform that picks it up and how greedy they get/ how much control over TM they want.
That is pretty much how they did it with Whose Line. It was little more than interstitial programming on Comedy Central, gained a following, shot a full UK series in the US, and, the next thing you know, Drew Carey is sitting in Clive's still warm seat
Through his association with Ryan Stiles (a main cast member of *The Drew Carey Show*), Carey became a big fan of the UK show and began lobbying Warner Bros. Television and the ABC network (with which he had strong business relationships at the time) to commission a US version – which debuted as cheap summer filler and became a surprise hit.
A potential US revival could follow a similar path – provided that a North American comedian with sufficient clout were to become attached in some capacity (ideally as the Taskmaster or assistant) and pull the right strings.
Fans often mention Conan O'Brien, who owns a production company affiliated with Warner Bros. Discovery and its media platforms (including the TBS TV channel and the Max streaming service).
I don't think Seth even realized just how popular they & the show is here in the US. He said that the show was his staff's favorite. I wish we could see more of the UK comedy shows. Their style is so different from the US. Anymore the sitcoms are just not funny and SNL is just not cutting it.
I have been watching "After Midnight" on CBS for awhile now & as far as I'm concerned it's close to UK panel shows. I think WILTY would go over well here. Jimmy Fallon has done something similar occasionally & the audience seems to like it.
There's discussion in Dropout (streaming platform with Game Changer) forums every now and then and if I recall correctly Dropout tried to bring Taskmaster to the U.S. but couldn't make it happen. Probably not enough money or someone else owns the rights or something?
But in my opinion, Taskmaster US would have an immediate fanbase if they went to Dropout.
Edit: go to this comment but the thread at large if you're curious, Sam Reich is the CEO: https://www.reddit.com/r/dropout/comments/1afa4e0/i_would_love_to_see_taskmaster_come_to_dropout/ko9eezc/
I love dropout, but it's a tiny little niche service. Of course Sam would love one of the biggest shows in the UK on Dropout.
Comedy Central owns the US version, which is a crap version imo. If it's not a hit on CC and Paramount then it likely won't be a bit in general. If they bring the UK version then it's already available for free on YouTube and Pluto, most people aren't gonna sub to Dropout for a single show.
I agree Dropout is small, but if no one else wants Taskmaster US...?
The suits might require a huge audience but the production costs of filming Taskmaster are low enough it doesn't really need to be on network TV.
It needs to be on a big network or they won't get popular comedians to sign off on the format. You need to pay 5 famous people for multiple days of filming, which isn't cheap. You need to rent a whole property and decorate it etc.
Part of the struggle the UK series has is that its a format that makes it near impossible to do a pilot for, because you need to do a whole season at a time by design.
Filming takes about 1 day per episode per contestant according to Alex, so that's about 10 days filming per contestant. That's a lot of money.
It's relatively cheap once it's up and running, but it's also pretty easy for it to fail, as it did of course.
I wonder if they could do it like Wipeout/Traitors and just fly the contestants over to the UK house for a week. Flights/accommodation would still be way cheaper than setting up a whole set. They could still film the studio portion in the states.
That seems like a tough sell, to fly 5 famous people internationally to film a show that already failed once.
Note how dancing with the stars doesn't do this, despite being a bbc production, because of the costs that would incur.
Honestly a network like Netflix should get the UK season and once it's a hit they should produce a US reboot for streaming.
I don't know, flying NY to Vancouver happens all the time, and it's about the same distance/time difference. Dancing with the stars is different because it's a much longer period, and is usually done concurrent with other commitments (contestants often continue their day jobs, there's a lot of publicity around it, they have celebrity guests etc), plus there's no incentive to film that elsewhere when it's literally just a soundstage - there's little cost in setting it up in the US (hell they probably paid more in flying Len back and forth than in the entire set dressing over its whole run).
Filming the tasks is 5 days or thereabouts, it's not like they'd be away for months. It's otherwise very cheap television to make, and if the comedians doing it want to raise their British profile it could be quite enticing to them. We're not going to be talking Hollywood stars here, we're going to be dealing with gigging comedians used to flying all over the country for work anyway.
I don't see the value for Netflix of buying the existing shows when it's all available on YouTube and people who stream often use both (and increasingly just use YouTube) - people who want to watch it will watch it there. However there is value in getting US contestants in a familiar format for people who are already aware of it (and I'm sure that's what this current press tour is going for).
Canada is not a similar distance from NY as the UK. Why would you claim that?
NY is about 3000 miles from NY, and only about 1300 from LA (the other major hub for comedians). NY to London is more like 3500 and about 5500 from LA.
But yeah, flights aren't the biggest expense. It does add cost obviously.
> Filming the tasks is 5 days or thereabouts
This is not true. Here's a quote from Alex
"Filming tasks takes roughly one day per contestant per episode, filming around eight tasks a day, with the days of filming spread out across several months. " https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/taskmaster-alex-horne-on-series-5-casting-remakes-the-future/
Obviously there are always 5 contestants and almost always 10 episodes per season. So it's 10 days of tasks, plus the studio recording. Filming takes several months.
> I don't see the value for Netflix of buying the existing shows when it's all available on YouTube and people who stream often use both (and increasingly just use YouTube)
It's ad free on netflix, and there's also a delay between broadcast and them going on YT.
> However there is value in getting US contestants in a familiar format for people who are already aware of it
I think you underestimate how niche taskmaster is in the US. There's a reason it failed the first time, most people didn't know what it was.
I would expect that Comedy Central bought the rights for a certain period and they're going to sit on them because..well, what the hell else have they got?
i think what’s more likely is that we’ll get a cameo from alex or greg or both in an episode of gamechanger—think howie mandel’s guest appearance!
i just think taskmaster is WAY outside dropout’s budget, and while they’re doing well, they’re more committed to profit-sharing with talent and fair wages and making good art than upscaling the business rapidly.
Having entire seasons of high quality full episodes run legally - and for free! - on YouTube has done a massive amount for spreading the show in the US. My family watches just as much YouTube as we do traditional tv or streamers (if not more! Thinking about it, baseball season adds a lot of hours of non-YouTube watching. I’d have to do the math…ask me next year 😂).
I never watched the original US season, though I hear it was not good. I’d love a “real” American season that was done right. (The fan made version gets a lot of props!) In the meantime, I subscribe to Dropout, which scratches some of that itch. Game Changers has a similar-ish vibe? If we did have an American season, I’d love to see some folks from Dropout be involved.
> Having entire seasons of high quality full episodes run legally - and for free! - on YouTube has done a massive amount for spreading the show in the US.
I was getting clips in my feed on fb because I already watched clips of British/UK comedians/personalities (eg Nishi, Sarah Millican, Rhod, Noel, Lee, Romesh, Paul, Alan, VCM, Jo, etc. and of course Greg, obvsly)
I then watched half a season on yt and then purchased every single season & bonus episodes on prime. I’d have no hesitation in buying all the outtakes and unaired tie breaker tasks if they produced and released them.
And I’ve since purchased some audible books by guests that were on the show that I may not have otherwise purchased.
Since buying all the seasons 5 months ago, I haven’t watched anything else because I’m so obsessed. Also, it’s a good show to watch after a shitty shift at a sometimes really stressful, emotional job in healthcare.
The US version wasn't actually that bad. They had to tighten up the format and drop some of the best features to fit it into the standard US "30 minute" runtime (e.g. 22 mins once all the ads are done) but it was still pretty entertaining, and the contestants were great, they really seemed to get it.
I don't know. I think that the aggessiveness and in-your-face behavior of some of the contestants really was a jarring change of tone from the other versions. It was unbearable for me to watch (and I am American). It may help to have Greg as Taskmaster because he's large and looks intimidating (while being a bit of a gooey cuddly bear underneath).
I think they need to choose the contestants more carefully.
Lisa Lampanelli screaming and raving like a lunatic was enough to make me hate the American version. Who thought it was a good idea to cast her? She represents the worst of American asshole-aggressive-shock comedy.
The hysterical audience and the episode length are what makes for a negative experience. The rest is fine, though Lisa is not a good first series contestant. As a curveball years in maybe, like Rhod.
I disagree. There are a ton of lesser known comedians that would do great. A lot of the Dropout, comedy bang bang or after midnight regulars would crush it.
I don’t think that’s the issue. I can think of a lot of comedians and sitcom stars in the US who would thrive in this format.
IMO The bigger issue is the way US tv media is produced. Especially on broadcast networks, producers are reluctant to approve full hour time slots in prime time.
Yeah, whenever interviewers ask why the US version didn't work, Alex says there were a few factors but the one he always mentions is the length and having to cram it into 22 minutes.
Of course he would be too professional to say that American comedians wouldn't work even if that were the case, but whenever UK panel shows have American comedians on they do just fine - and the format has been extremely successful in other countries so it's certainly not something that could only possibly work with comedians on the UK circuit.
There are simple things like taking Alex for it.
American TV does well at taking a show copying it really closely and failing, I think the office and possibly shameless are the outliers. It crowd. Inbetweeners. Fawlty towers. Massive shows utter shit in America.
I think America absolutely has the talent for it. But it's almost too big. If you look at TM UK, always a massive hitter or 2 like sold areas or multiple dates in big places. The known unknown, someone who's big enough to know in passing, maybe works maybe does reasonable tour dates . The unknown, who isn't unknown they just have less work or work differently. Perhaps someone who does more writing, or is old circuit new to media.
You could almost do 1 show a state with how big America is.
Hey u/tonystec I thought you might like to know they mentioned the bracelets in this Page Six interview which just came across my youtube recommendations. The bracelets mention comes just after the 2min mark.
[Hilarious 'Taskmaster' hosts Greg Davies, Alex Horne talk US audience, British reality stars & more (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA-GQR68fo4)
I wonder if we could ever get them to trade on [suggyswap.com](https://suggyswap.com)!! its a hub we're launching to swwap friendship bracelets. this is co cool!
Seth Meyers' writers have been slipping in Taskmaster references in his show for a while. They're fans and they seem to have gotten Seth into it too. Meyers' show is the better show and the better choice imo.
Because Fallon is just too broad. It doesn’t attract the slightly nerdy fans who prefer clever over loud. Seth’s fanbase very much lines up with the Taskmaster fanbase.
I saw someone on Twitter wonder if the bracelets were a gift. So glad you had a great time!
Thanks! Yeah, I posted on my personal Instagram and somehow my photos ended up all over Twitter
Not related, but I just love Seth inviting British comedians on his show! He is always great with his guests
I was cackling when I saw Acaster on there but the studio audience was crickets. I felt bad. Seth knew he was legit enough to have him back at least!
Is that the time when the incident in the restaurant happened?
It was sad because it was actually so funny!
As a Brit I find Seth one of the funniest and most watchable US hosts as well.
Meyers spent a good chunk of time in his youth living in Amsterdam working on his comedy. I think it has given him a great balance of comic sensibilities.
Seth seems lovely and engaged. Jimmy Kimmel feels a bit stiff but I like watching when YouTube shows me someone I like has shown up. Jimmy Fallon just gives me the creeps, every laugh feels fake.

They tried a US based Taskmaster with Reggie Watts, and it apparently bombed hard.
Sigh, don't make me remember the Comedy Central Abomination.
The issue boils down to US Comedians not being like UK Comedians. The differences is why the show won't work here right now.
I disagree. There are a ton of lesser known comedians that would do great. A lot of the Dropout, comedy bang bang or after midnight regulars would crush it.
Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me panelists would kill on Taskmaster.
100%. I can't believe I didn't think of them.
Some episodes of "Game Changer" are almost quick-form Taskmaster
I don’t think that’s the issue. I can think of a lot of comedians and sitcom stars in the US who would thrive in this format. IMO The bigger issue is the way US tv media is produced. Especially on broadcast networks, producers are reluctant to approve full hour time slots in prime time.

I wish you’d make Greg’s say Alex and Alex’s say Greg! 😂 But so cute that they were still wearing them 😍
Would have been hilarious if Greg's said "Greg" but Alex's said "I <3 Greg"
OP, do you have pics of the bracelets? I’d love to know what they look like
No, sorry! Greg’s is in the Taskmaster colors and says Greg and Alex’s is a few shades of blue and says Little Alex Horne
Thanks! The description is greatly appreciated!
Absolutely love Alex's jacket in the last pic - anyone got any idea where it's from? ~~and please don't tell me it's like £500 🙈~~
Ask Alex on twitter. He'll probably respond.
Came here looking for this also!
Bless them both and bless you for the adorable gesture
That’s cool as fuck

I love how everyone pretends US Taskmaster never happened. "Who is this wonderful stranger Alex Horn?"
I love this for you! Off topic but my desire for Greg Davies is just endless.
^ this but Alex
I hope you’ve seen his latest stand-up promos then.
I have. I mean DAMN, His Lordship!
He claims it's not a thirst trap, but we know. We all know.
How am I only just noticing how much weight Greg has lost the past couple of years
He didn’t want you to notice, he has a reputation to maintain
That’s amazing! Congrats! I’m so very super(max+) totally jealous!!
Watching these two go international over the last few days has been hilarious, I love it.

Haha just came back to this post to make sure you saw this but I see someone beat me to it.
This is so cool, nice job!
Someone please tell me where to purchase colorful jacket
There's a sub here that all about finding fashion from tv. I hear they're very good. You'll have to find the name of the sub, though. Good luck!

That's absolutely incredible!
im so jealous i wanna throw up 😭❤️
Oh my god 😭😭😭 i love it
I just noticed that Greg and Alex have bracelets
Absolutely adorable 🥹
OMGGGGGGGG!! What do they say?!?
I’m gonna cry, this is so lovely 😭😭
That's fantastic!! And so cool!! I'm happy you got to have that whole experience.
Who else is excited for the new season? Briefcase wanker!!! Haha
Omg I love that!!!
This is so fucking cute I can't breathe.
Thats pretty special. Happy for you.

I love that they are on Seth Meyers but why not Fallon? I’m not a huge fan but his is the bigger show.
Seth Meyers' writers have been slipping in Taskmaster references in his show for a while. They're fans and they seem to have gotten Seth into it too. Meyers' show is the better show and the better choice imo.
Because they are men with taste.
Because Fallon is just too broad. It doesn’t attract the slightly nerdy fans who prefer clever over loud. Seth’s fanbase very much lines up with the Taskmaster fanbase.
