Alex Horne On the Origin of Taskmaster, Series 6 & The Horne Section | Sunday Brunch

Hang on, this is from 2018? Season 9 just finished airing at the end of this year.

Cut down on the fake-laughing...

I'd like to point out that the Americans are butchering their version of the show. They need to put comedians in

Come on, Netflix. It makes sense that the show would fail in an American 30 minute show format. This show needs more time to breathe. Netflix being an 45-60 minutes with no ads would kill on there.

In Taskmaster, they need to be more specific with the “no touching” rule that they often use. If you use a handkerchief to hold an untouchable object, you’re technically not touching it but it feels like it wouldn’t be in the spirit of the game. Where do you draw the line about what’s okay to use “without touching”?

Dave is a channel?

love the showw

Little Alex Horne in the morning.

Why is he off his leash?

the flamingos! 🥺

It's soooo weird to see him without the suit

Love Simon's Morrissey reference

Not only Hollywood, Stockholm as well! "Bäst i test"! haha great idea for a show but the original beats all! <3

The US version is so shit. Part of the success of Taskmaster is the quality of the contestants, on the UK version its all the funniest comedians in UK, the US version is just a bunch of random people.

My brain is so confused by him not wearing a suit 😂 it feels really strange

He said his over 6 foot 4 but he is just below 5 little Alex horne

I love the way British interview shows look it's like the aughts never ended for those guys

Imagine being talented and creative and being interviewed by these bland muppets.

"Funny people doing funny things, it should work" 😆

"You're back for the sixth series of TaskMaster"

"Okay"

Hadnt heard of the button, but now it isnt available anywhere :-(

They should get The Inbetweeners on an episode of Taskmaster

I get the impression that Lovejoy and Rimmer are only kept on because they'd whine like petulant teenagers if they were given the boot.

alex horne in casual fun clothes??! greg was feeling lenient that day ;)

I always thought it was just the British Knockoff of 'Kongen befaler', the OG Norwegian Taskmaster

I always assumed this was the TV version of “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue.”

American one did not work

It helped us getting through this pandemic. THANK YOU

How is he ALWAYS so in character?😂😍

I really wanted the American version to succeed, but I hated the cast. all the top American comedians are truth speakers but because they couldn't cast the best they got lower grade comics, which is a group inundated with unfunny leftists or blackballed righties.

i love that mark sent alex 200 quid,,, he's always doing the most when it comes to tasks

How the fuck did those two ever get a presenting job?

The kerning of the logo made me think it was 'Sunday Brundh'

Alex is just such a lovely guy.

"He's my father and my partner" hsjsuagqhhsd

TIL there's a US version of Taskmaster, and as expected, it barely holds a candle to the British version. Made me realize just how integral a character like Greg Davies is to the show and his interaction with Alex Horne. Also, I can't pinpoint exactly why, but the humor is just lackluster. Maybe if the show wasn't edited down to just 20 minutes per episode there would be more time for funnier jokes, but we don't get that.

Season 43 is gonna be awesome

ALEX: "So it [Taskmaster US] SHOULD work."
NARRATOR: "It did not work."

yeah, I'm an American myself, and hoo boy did that not work (thru little to no fault of Alex, tho)

I live Alex haha very funny…

His brain works at incredible speed. Fantastic Alex Horne.

It's funny how the juxtaposition makes it obvious how Alex is in a league of his own comedy wise

wtf is a christian name... you mean first name

“It should work” … famous last words 🥴

"Comedian" with task master is a VERY LOOSE term!

Season 18 now
