| “ | Hello I am Greg Davies and this is Taskmaster. In this show I, Greg Davies, makes some accomplished but needy comedians do stupid things for me. Why? Because I can. I'm a powerful man. Look at me. Thank you. They have no idea how each other did but they will soon find out. I should be judging both what they did and how they did it. My word is final. The contestants will definitely respect me. | ” |
