Gather ’round, Taskmaster devotees, for the moment of truth has arrived. After weeks of absurd challenges, feats of questionable ingenuity, and enough prize tasks to fill a moderately sized skip bin, “Taskmaster Australia” Season 4 reaches its grand finale this Thursday. Who will emerge victorious? Which comedian will claim the coveted Taskmaster trophy and bask in the glory of a job ridiculously well done (or, let’s be honest, ridiculously attempted)?
Channel 10 is keeping tight-lipped about the specifics of the final tasks, but we do know that teams will unite for one last push toward greatness (or at least, toward not finishing last). Cryptic clues suggest an intimate moment for Tommy Little and some hasty evidence disposal courtesy of Emma Holland. Does any of this give us a real insight into the challenges ahead? Probably not, and let’s face it, that’s part of the fun.
With Tom Gleeson reigning supreme as the Taskmaster, ably assisted by the ever-deadpan Tom Cashman, the show has consistently delivered a chaotic blend of wit and absurdity. This 70-minute extended episode aims to bring the season to a suitably ridiculous close. Tune in to Channel 10 this Thursday, 29 May at 7:30 PM AEST to witness the crowning of Australia’s next Taskmaster champion.
