I don't know if Bill Burr would be any good at this, but I love Bill Burr so I want to see him in everything! I think his scoring would be hilarious because he's so "frank" and he'd make the scoring just absolutely hilarious. I can already hear, "what the f__k was that? how can I give you a point for that? geezus!"

David Spade is versatile, I think he can do a Taskmaster but definitely a different style than Greg Davies.

I've never heard of Paul F. Thompkins before but I just watched a clip and I can definitely see him as a Taskmaster.

Nathan Fielder ... hmm ... I've never seen him. I just watched a clip. I think I need to watch Nathan For You now, however, I think he'd make a better Taskmaster's assistant than Taskmaster?

Zach Woods would make a good TM assistant for sure!

I think this is last one that I've seen but opinions change over time:

I just rewatched a bit and I think he says it would be: "him and Greg" OR two American hosts. So we're both correct! :)

He’s chaotic as hell and the TM is traditionally quite stoic

I know what you mean. I'm thinking late night Conan just sitting in the chair cracking wise. I think he has the ability to sit in that chair and take it both serious and ridiculous and play it off well. I also love his interplay with his co-hosts.

He’d make an INCREDIBLE contestant

I also agree he'd be the best contestant because he loves playing for the camera and he's obviously very smart so it'd be gold.

his brand isn’t serious enough to take Greg’s place IMO

As we said, I disagree but we both love Taskmaster and Conan so it's not a big disagreement :). Who do you think would honour the US Taskmaster seat in your opinion?

US doesn’t exist. Don’t tell anyone the US version exists

I think Greg and Alex went on a few radio programmes talking about how the adverts and stuff pushed their format more differently than they wanted. Like the prize task and stuff were rushed. Alex said if they do it again, they'd like to be approached by US networks rather than go hunting for it themselves.
Also, they'd also make it with Greg and Alex rather than having a US host and Alex.

I think most fans said that it was obvious that in the UK format that Greg is the boss (yes we all know Alex is). However in the US format it was evident that Alex was the boss.

Personally, I would love to see a Conan O'Brien and Jordan Schlansky(sp?) or Andy Richter combination. I can see Conan just chewing up the scenery. Jordan being overly pedantic and Conan chastising him and making him break.

I don't mean to brag but I bought my own home and am no longer renting. I'm also not considering children because I am also sharing this house with my parents 😁. Also ... dating when you're in your forties whilst living with your parents is very difficult.

I'm still getting lectured by my friends with kids to just quickly get one. It's like, nothing is going well right now. What I really need is bringing in another life to make myself feel less lonely at great expense to myself and that new life.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried! 👀

I'm always concerned that my weight will break it. I don't weigh that much but it's an irrational fear I have.

I put my clothes and stuff on it when I shower though.

You serious? I love Stevie and Faithia (sp) too. They're awesome and make Jason crack up too. I think the whole cast is awesome this series although obviously Jason is a gem to watch.

I learned how people get on the news and repeat stories to slowly infiltrate people's conscience and the same people that said cigarettes were okay were on the news as experts for others over time. What's funny is I learned this from Joe Rogan who became apart of this machine.

They seem to stand up just fine to progressives.

The rich will fix it by putting out disinformation campaigns telling you it's all fake.

balkanization

For uninformed people like myself:

Balkanization is the process of a country or region fragmenting into smaller, often hostile units, typically driven by ethnic, cultural, religious, or geopolitical differences. The term originates from the Balkan Peninsula, a region that has experienced significant fragmentation throughout history, and the term is now used more broadly to describe similar processes elsewhere.

 

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.

 

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.
