It's certainly more enjoyable than it would be in many other contexts! It also helps that I'm pretty sure they're friends and like each other in real life.
Sam has been open that he'd be the Assistant if they ever did get to make Dropout TM. My pick for who'd be the Taskmaster would be Grant O'Brien cause like Greg to Alex, he enjoys claiming Sam has horrible Right-Wing views he reveals "in confidence". Plus his head would make a good TM trophy.
^^^ this is actually a REALLY good match to me!!! Grant is born to be the Americanized version of the taskmaster 💯 and the grant/sam dynamic feels worn in (in the best way) to hit that role structure naturally for sure!
Alex is in the suit, too— cruel to the rumor mill’s imagination too lol
Alex Horne recently said that they really hobbled the American version of Taskmaster to appease Comedy Central. If Dropout could secure the rights, would you be open to trying it again? Alex Horne seems game to do better
Did he give context and why or how they hobbled it? I know it's always difficult to port shows to different cultures but it seems like an easy slam dunk to just copy the format.
Yeah. Several things: It was reduced to a half hour format (with commercials every 6 minutes), they changed the prize task so that only one person brought a prize in, and he and the taskmaster did not have good chemistry. Most or all of these were requested by the network.
Hey Sam, I kindly ask you to use ALT-Text, so people with Eye Disabilities can enjoy your pics here on Bluesky, too.
There's even a very clever function in the settings you can enable, that only allows you to post after the ALT-Text was entered. Inclusion matters. Thanks and greetings from Germany
Here we’re all assuming it’s a Taskmaster collab, could be an elaborate international Gamechanger scheme, maybe Alex Horne and the Horne Section is headed to Dropout for something? Maybe Sam is actually a peevish trickster god sent to delight and torment us with no explanation.
Forgive the intrusion, I'm in the mood to make jokes, you and your friends look like you're ready for a tea party. No nothing political or insensitive from my side, it's just that this photo makes the people in it look like they want some tea with jam, jam and bread, tea with jam, jam and bread...
This is a crossover I have been desperately hoping for. Please tell me some game changer regulars have been signed up for a full season of taskmaster? Please?!
I loved the Norwegian and British versions of Taskmaster. I would love to see Dropout work together with them to create an actually good American version.
I've heard that Alex isn't opposed to taking another shot at an American Taskmaster, and I can't think of anywhere better than Dropout for a second attempt.
Last I'd heard (take it with a grain of salt, you know how things go on the internet), Dropout was prevented from doing Taskmaster because the production company behind Taskmaster US still owns the rights. It wasn't a lack of want on anyone's side, just licensing garbage.
We heard the same thing for years about why the MCU couldn't get Spider-man, too. And considering how titanic the studios involved in that matter were, it seemed impossible.
Sometimes its just a matter of negotiation. I hope the new pic with Alex its an indication that wheels are in motion.
@imhotheshow.bsky.social I'm telling y'all, Dropout has done a lot of work with Ru girls and other queens. I also happen to know that Darby and her brother LOVE taskmaster. If y'all wanted to start covering dropout stuff too I would absolutely tune in EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 TIME 👏
There used to be an after school program called “Destination Imagination” that was like, random problem solving exercises and cool team building stuff for kids I did back in the day. This show 100000% scratches that itch. That and Game Changer 💞💞💞💞💞

"All of the information is on the task."

It's the same picture.
But this--
How did--
What.

For Greg? Carl. Please let it be Carl.
The lore grows...
Dropout taskmaster.
Michaelis = Assistant

The NZ version is btw a lot of fun as well!
.
Who would make a good “lackey”, assuming Sam was the Taskmaster?
(Thinking about this further, you know who would make a great taskmaster? @pftompkins.bsky.social.)
