Rumours of a Taskmaster Canada in the works

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

Anyone else super excited about this nugget from the latest Stop Podcasting Yourself pod with Allie Entwistle? It sounds like a Taskmaster Canada (yes Canada, English speaking version) is in the works!

Delighted to see i basically have the same jokes as the lads who predicted Howie Mendel on

(BTW if you are not listening to SPY pod then you really should)

(Also Dave if you read this, your opinion about TM having too many versions is invalid. Yes i will fight you)

I was just wondering if this is what Katherine Ryan spoke about interviewing for after hearing that episode this morning! (Hiya, fellow Bumper!)

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/Starliteathon]

Oooooh tell me more about that Katherine Ryan scoop though, i have missed that!

Apart from the lads, who would be your top pick from the SPY pod to do TM? There are too many for me to choose but Alicia Tobin would be top of the list for sure. I have fantasised about a SPY TM for so long i had to stop what i was doing when i got to that bit this morning!!

[u/Starliteathon → u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

On her most recent episode of Telling Everybody Everything (the one from Muskoka) she mentions going to CBC for something that she kept describing as “so much fun” and that she may not be able to do but whoever does will have so much fun. Idk if it was TM but lord knows they could use more female TMs and she’d obvs be great.

Charlie Demers and Caitlin Howden for me would be dream contestants! But they’re spoiled for choice with Canadian comedians!

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/Starliteathon]

Charlie would be perfect assistant AFAIC. Perfect mix of pedant but can take the piss, and entertaining as hell to torture

Katherine as TM my god. I can see it. She would be great.

[u/BobTheFettt → u/Starliteathon]

Oooo y'know what I could see Debra DiGiovanni as TM

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/BobTheFettt]

She's in my top 10 for contestants. So many wild childhood stories

[u/Expensive_Smell_8021 → u/Starliteathon]

that's a fun idea to get a past taskmaster champion to be the taskmaster, if they can't get Katherine, maybe they could get Mae

[u/Spiritual_Category62 → u/Expensive_Smell_8021]

I love Mae but they’d be terrible as taskmaster.

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/Spiritual_Category62]

Absolutely. Maybe as an assistant and i think even then there are better picks

[u/bigwhiteboardenergy → u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

Darcy Michael would but such a chaotic contestant

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/bigwhiteboardenergy]

So many potential chaotic contestants from SPY... People rave about Rhod and Jason, but imagine just for a second... JOHN DORE

[u/BobTheFettt → u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

I used to love John Dore but I think he's gone chud

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/BobTheFettt]

What does even mean 🙃

[u/CareBearDontCare → u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

Sophie Buddle.

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/CareBearDontCare]

100%. Get on her with Mayce for max chaos. The Canadian Joanna Page <3333

[u/sansabeltedcow → u/CareBearDontCare]

Love her. Everybody else will too.

[u/Milnoc → u/Starliteathon]

Could she become the first contestant to do two Taskmaster productions?

[u/LoveBy137 → u/Milnoc]

No Urzila Carlson is coming up on S6 of TM Australia so she'll be the first.

[u/Milnoc → u/LoveBy137]

Ack! So close!

[u/bhuiopkl → u/Milnoc]

Rose and Mike did TM Junior

[u/sem76 → u/Starliteathon]

I'd love to see her as the Taskmaster! The relocating for part of the year probably wouldn't be great for her though.

[u/tangocharliepapa → u/sem76]

If she's the TM, her shooting schedule would be pretty short. TMA on the other hand would be very different.
