Channel 4 reveals big US star, Ghosts actor and podcast host for Taskmaster series 19 line up
CHANNEL 4 have unveiled their line-up for the upcoming 19th edition of Taskmaster.
The programme will be returning to screens with a brand new set of famous faces for what has been described as the “most absurd show” on TV.
Podcast star Rosie Ramsey leads the group of famous faces for the brand new series.
She will be joined by Ghosts actor Mathew Baynton, comedian and actor Stevie Martin, major US Netflix star Jason Mantzoukas and comedy writer Fatiha El-Ghorri.
The five stars will be coming together to see if they have what it takes to emerge victorious and call themselves Taskmaster champions.
Greg Davies will be back in the hot seat and will be joined by his ever faithful assistant, Alex Horne.
The comedy series first aired on Dave before moving to Channel 4 in 2020.
It has become one of Channel 4’s most successful shows and will now air two series a year until 2026.
Taskmaster has even been so successful it has landed its very own spin-off.
Junior Taskmaster began airing in November last year and was fronted by Rose Matafeo and Assistant Mike Wozniak.
In order to reach international audiences, the brand new series will stream on the programme’s official YouTube channel as well as Taskmaster SuperMax+.
Details on the programme’s release date will be unveiled in due course.
