Fourcandles 5 Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 One thing which has always surprised me is that more R1 DJs haven't appeared on taskmaster. I think it's only been Alice Levine but I think almost all of them would be a really good fit. Does anyone know if any DJs were approached or if there's a contract reason why it doesn't happen often? Also who would be your preference to see on the show? I think Scott would be really funny because he'd get really cross if he messed up a task. Also I think Mollie King would be really funny on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think they try to stick with sitcom actors, stand ups or other comedic personalities think her Levines podcast helps know Dev, Jordon, Mills, James in R1 careers ventured to celebrity formats and think for comedy shows like that think as with QI there seems should be distinction of comedy and celebrity. Feel that it would ruin the essence of Taskmaster as King and Mills yes are funny but not comedians. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard osmand) for which I would imagine radio 1 fits the bill. Lots of their presents aren't comedians but are really genuinely funny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feel like would like to see them going with other comedic talent first e.g Suzi Ruffel, Harriet Kemsley, Fern Brady, Jess Fosterque, Heidi Reagan, Mae Martin, Rees James, Eli’s James, Catherine Bohart, Bobby Mair, Rosie Jones etc first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
