What do you do when you have the hosts of Taskmaster in your studio? You challenge them with a task, of course! So we challenged Alex Horne and Greg Davies with the following task:
You will be presented with a series of tasks previously seen on the hit series, Taskmaster. For each Taskmaster task presented, you will be tasked to answer whether or not you, Alex Horne and Greg Davies, as contestants, would choose to participate in that task or avoid it at all costs. Your time starts now.
In a reimagining of the Mashable game “Slash or Pass,” Executive Producer Mark Stetson went on to present the two comedians with eight iconic tasks from the show, from “Fill This Egg Cup With Your Own Sweat” to “Write and Perform a Song For a Stranger.” It was surprising to see which tasks they both chose to avoid and where they “chose to part company,” in the words of Horne.
The two legendary hosts used this game as an opportunity to show their mutual respect for each other. Davies talked about Horne’s improv abilities: “I think Alex is very good at the sort of ‘Yes, and?’ philosophy of of improvising and talking. He’ll go with anything and doesn’t try and shut things down.” Horne responded with, “I can rely on [Greg] to, if I say something dry, I can normally rely on him to put a punchline there at the end of it, which is quite a nice feeling as a comedian, that I don’t have to hit the mark every time.”
