    Taskmaster's assistant training with Mike Wozniak | Junior taskmaster

    p.s. I am genuinely excited for this new series. Taskmaster already seems like the perfect format for a gameshow for kids. And I think Mike Wozniak is a brilliant choice for a kid-friendly replacement for Alex, and ditto with Rose Matafeo for Greg.

      This looks great! I love both Rose and Mike. The only worry I have is that part of the fun in the regular version is how ruthless some of the decisions are, I don't imagine they'll be doing that...

      Well, just from the title, I was expected the taskmaster themselves to be in high school or something. Slightly disappointed! I'm sure the result will be great though.

        I don't think there are many highschoolers who have the comedy chops to be a good Taskmaster or Assistant. AFAIK, the "Assistant" on every series has actually been the real showrunner behind-the-scenes too, who designs most of the tasks, amongst other things, so I don't know if I would trust a teen to do that either. :P

          I don't think a younger child could be the taskmaster but a hand-picked older teen could probably pull it off. Either way, it's not a necessity, just a comment on what the title "Junior Taskmaster" brings to mind. It's not the taskmaster who's junior!

            Ah, I gotcha now. And LOL, yeah the title does make it sounds like its literally a Junior Taskmaster. :P A slightly less ambiguous title probably would have been Taskmaster Kids or something like...

    If this is what the season is going to be like, it's going to be great. These kids are hilarious. I can't wait for them to upload the full episode to YouTube tomorrow!
