Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Hello, thank you, and welcome to Taskmaster, with me, your host and trophy model, Greg Davies. The premise is simple: comedians tackle tasks, I give them points depending on how well I think they did, and we all laugh at them. At the end of the final episode, the person with the most points will win this oooohhh-so-beautiful trophy. Mmm, it's OK, it's not too bad. It's fine. So, without further ado, let's meet the prospective future owners.

Assistant Intro

And, well I never! If it isn't my extremely dependent adjudicator... Little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that if you want to see a man running quickly, take a look at Usain Bolt. If you want to look at a tennis pro, you look at Serena Williams. But if you wanna see someone chuck a jelly into a bucket, you call Sally Phillips. Ladies and gentlemen, let's not forget that tonight's winner is Mr Bob Mortimer! We'll see you next time. Good night!
