The contestants appearing in the 17th series of Taskmaster have been revealed. Those competing for the ultimate prize are:
JOANNE MCNALLY – JOHN ROBINS – NICK MOHAMMED – SOPHIE WILLAN – STEVE PEMBERTON
In the wake of a ferociously fought battle between Taskmaster titans in the third Champion of Champions special, the line-up for series 17 has been announced. Preparing themselves to compete in the most important show on all of television, this gutsy group’s efforts will be overseen by Lord Greg Davies accompanied by a Little Alex Horne scuttling by his side. Over the past year, the BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning series triumphed as one of Channel 4’s most popular programmes, coming in as the channel’s third most streamed title of the year with 2.3 billion viewing minutes recorded across all series watched in 2023. The launch episode of series 15 alone has had 85.4million streaming minutes viewed so far.
Preparing to fight tooth and nail, impress the almighty Taskmaster, and bag the highest points are: comedian, writer, and British Podcast Award winning presenter Joanne McNally (My Therapist Ghosted Me), Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian and radio presenter John Robins (BBC Radio 5 Live), award-winning actor and comedian Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso), BAFTA-winning actor, writer, producer and comedian Sophie Willan (Alma’s Not Normal), and award-winning actor and writer Steve Pemberton (Inside No. 9). Who will emerge victorious, raise the weighty trophy above their head, and call themselves a Taskmaster champion?
