I think Greg could have talked him into it.
I'd bet he was considered before his passing.
After seeing Frank Skinner and Bob Mortimer, I'd think he'd have been on board. Such an electric energy.
Ok, so here's my definitive list of dearly departed famous folks I'd resurrect for exactly one series of Taskmaster:
1. Robin Williams 2. Peter Sellers. Moms Mabley (look her up).
4. Lenny Bruce 5. Marc Bolan.
Dishonorable mention to James Corden (who's dead to me).
Sean Lock was my first choice. Robin Williams would've been brilliant. Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, but now I'm just naming my favourite comedians. Gonna need some time on this.
