For the first time ever, the Taskmaster's doors have flung open to ring in the new year with a brand new, one-off special, 'Taskmaster's New Year Treat'.

Competing to win the coveted Taskmaster trophy are: acclaimed film actor John Hannah (Four Weddings and Funeral, Sliding Doors), journalist and leading news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy (Ways to Change the World, Channel 4), actress Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Channel 4), television and radio presenter Rylan Clark-Neal (This Morning, ITV, The Xtra Factor, ITV2), and three time ballroom champion and head judge Shirley Ballas (Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One).

In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.

Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.
