I have been watching the Australian version of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee and enjoying it a great deal. One of my favourite things is having absolutely no idea about the relative fame of the contestants, unless they're like, Hannah Gadsby. - ThreadSky

Love that show.

I haven't watched a lot of it - mostly just clips of the New Zealand version. Need to track more down.

Same but the clips with Aaron Chen are always amazing. The one with the baguettes left me howling.

"it's normally funnier I promise"

Yes so good! And the one with the market stall/prison arc. Just sat down for an episode that I am guessing was filmed out of sequence as Guy's hair is way longer and there's a replacement assistant, and it's not as good. Of course it's the first episode that Katie also watched

I love Guy! Haven’t seen this show but I was a fan of the Worst Idea of All Time pod! Met them a couple times at live NYC shows. Sweethearts. I need to check this out.

You definitely should then! There's a New Zealand version and an Australian one, so four seasons so far.

I can literally track the pipeline of Taskmaster - Taskmaster NZ - Taskmaster AU - GMSB I reached to get to the same destination. I now can't click fast enough when new clips etc get uploaded to YouTube.

These ones are whole episodes uploaded by, of all things, an EDM channel.

@tomwalker.bsky.social is a joy (both on bsky and on his own twitch stream) and going to be on the new season of Aus Bake Off.

When we lived in Europe for the summer a couple years ago this is how I felt watching panel shows on the BBC

Yeah I bet. It's funny, because it's not really the case when we watch American stuff, as it is so pervasive across the world.

All of my knowledge from them comes from if they appeared on Taskmaster NZ, Australia, or UK.

Same.
