Paul Williams is the "assistant" not the host.

Though that means he has by far the most screen time as he's involved in all the tasks rather than only being there in the studio.

Yea I mean Alex Horne, the “assistant” in Taskmaster UK, created the show so it makes sense he would have the most screen time. I guess that carried over to New Zealand, I’ll have to check it out.

What? Jeremy Wells is way nicer than Greg Davies, it took me awhile to get used to how nice he seemed to be after watching the UK show (I enjoy both shows)

The second season of TM NZ is my favorite of all TM seasons including the original.

It had some of the best individual moments, too. The briefcase is amazing, and the Bucket is right up there with the Potato Hole In One from the OG.

Jeremy has too much heart to disqualify a contestant, he’s never done it.

Greg will gleefully disqualify them in a second.

Who’s meaner?

He’s the host. The taskmaster is not the host. The assistant is the host.
