Taskmaster Series 19 Contestants: A Hilariously Hilarious Look at the New Lineup

Hey everyone! So, Taskmaster Series 19 is finally here, and I'm buzzing! I've been a huge fan since, well, forever, and I'm always stoked to see who they pick for the new series. This year's lineup? A total mixed bag, and I'm here for it. Let's dive in, shall we? This is gonna be a long one, because let's be honest, I have a lot to say.

Getting to Know the Series 19 Crew

Right off the bat, we've got a fantastic blend of personalities. Some are familiar faces; others are complete newbies to the Taskmaster chaos. And that's half the fun!

Aisling Bea: The Witty Wildcard

Aisling Bea? Genius. Pure comedic genius. I remember seeing her in This Way Up, and thinking, "She'd be amazing on Taskmaster." Her dry wit and that ability to find humor in the most unexpected places? It's a perfect fit. I'm predicting some seriously creative (and possibly disastrous) task attempts from her. I mean, the woman is already hilarious; the added pressure of Greg Davies’ judging eye? Pure gold.

Morgana Robinson: The Impressionist Extraordinaire

Okay, Morgana Robinson? I'm already obsessed. This woman can mimic anyone, and I’m betting she’ll use those skills to her advantage in some seriously sneaky tasks. I'm picturing tasks involving celebrity impersonations—and maybe a few unexpected twists that'll throw everyone off guard. Maybe even some very specific impressions. I'm here for it all. This series will be very interesting, and I’m not just saying that to make friends with the stars.

Marcus Brigstocke: The Veteran Comedian

Marcus Brigstocke? A veteran of the comedy circuit, he’s bringing years of experience to the table. He’s known for his sharp wit and quick thinking, which are both very useful in this high-pressure environment. I'm expecting him to be a strong contender—he'll probably overthink things a bit, which might be both his downfall and his saving grace. You know, that whole "too clever for his own good" thing.

Jessica Knappett: The Underdog with a Punch

Jessica Knappett... I'm not as familiar with her work as some of the others, but from what I've seen, she’s got a fantastic sense of humour. I'm really excited to see what she brings to the table, this is probably the person that will be the dark horse. She might surprise everyone with her strategy and how she approaches the more unusual tasks. Plus, underdogs are always fun to root for.

John Kearns: The Absurdist Master

John Kearns… oh boy. I adore this guy. He's known for his wonderfully weird and often absurd comedy. And that translates perfectly to the Taskmaster arena. I'm already picturing some truly unexpected, possibly rule-bending, and utterly hilarious attempts at various tasks. He's going to be one to watch! Prepare for the unexpected, folks.

My Biggest Taskmaster Regret (And How You Can Avoid It!)

Speaking of unexpected, I’ve got a confession. During a Taskmaster viewing party a few years ago, I made the HUGE mistake of trying to recreate one of the tasks myself. It involved balancing objects, and needless to say, it ended with a broken vase and a very embarrassed me. Don't be like me.

My advice? Watch, laugh, and admire their creativity from afar. Don't attempt anything you see on TV. It is much more fun to watch them struggle. Seriously. Enjoy the show!

Final Thoughts: Get Ready for Laughs!

Series 19 looks set to be another hilarious ride. This is a great year, and I can’t wait for the episodes to start! With this diverse group of contestants, expect lots of unexpected twists, creative solutions, and of course, plenty of laughs. So, grab your snacks, settle in, and prepare for another season of Taskmaster madness. Let me know in the comments what you think of the lineup, I want to know! We can live-tweet, too! I can’t wait to hear what you think about the upcoming series!
