The Big Picture If there’s any question whether Greg Davies and Alex Horne are as funny as they seem on Taskmaster, let the record show that I didn’t stop laughing the entire time I spoke with them.
Release Date April 26, 2018 Creator Cast Greg Davies , Alex Horne , Kerry Godliman , Ed Gamble , Sarah Kendall , Sophie Duker , Richard Herring , Lou Sanders Seasons 17 But Davies isn’t nearly as stern and dictator-like in person as he is in the show. That’s a persona he developed specifically for the camera, one that draws from years of being a schoolteacher, a fact that’s featured in his stand-up for years.
“The fact that everyone takes the show so seriously once they're in it is what plays into ,” Davies says. “Alex is very good at picking out things that are inherently preposterous, but because we've defined the rules of the show, they will take it seriously. And that's the joy of the show for me, is to see grown adults wanting to steer barge well and then looking for credit for it.”
Horne & Davies Appreciate the Show’s International Appeal The duo, who took New York by storm to premiere the seventeenth season of the panel show — which is available to stream for free on YouTube — are well aware of the show’s influence outside of the UK, where it’s hopped from the country’s Dave network to Channel 4 in the nearly ten years since it began airing.
