I went to the recording of Taskmaster Series 21 Ep 4
I was lucky enough to attend the S21 Ep4 taping of Taskmaster and it was the horniest Taskmaster episode I have ever seen filmed. I don’t know what was up with Alex and Greg, or what happened during the break, but they were flirting up a storm. I was in the front row, directly in Alex’s eye line, and he knows me because I attend a lot of events after which he comes to say hello and pretends that he really wants to take a picture with me every single time, and he has remembered my name and you can tell I’m totally normal about this… anyway the point is that I’m a face he knows and because of the position of the seating it felt like he was looking at me and talking directly to me the whole time which made the whole thing even more intense.
We started hot with the intro bit and Greg did his usual ask me anything and a male audience member asked Greg to marry him and he said, “I’d have to make some decisions but I’m not saying no.”
Greg introduced Alex by saying that he had seen Alex’s penis and that it was a perfect cylinder which is completely unnatural. Alex then walks on stage and says, “all I heard was you said I’ve got a perfect penis,” with a pleased little smirk. Then there was several kisses to start the show, Greg hugged Alex front on and then kissed the top of his head. Alex turned his head to face the audience while they were still hugging and Greg kissed the back of his neck several times with little kissy noises.
I do not remember anything about Alex’s improv at the beginning because despite me loving him and everything he does I find it cringy and watched through my fingers.
For Alex’s opening banter there was a bit where Alex had two red cups with water in and he asked Greg to copy his actions. Greg did everything to copy him. Alex sipped the water and so did Greg but then Alex spat it back out into the cup and Greg had clearly swallowed his. Alex said, “you swallowed,” and they gave each other such a look and then Greg got excited and said, “I’ve got such an urge,” and mimed throwing the water at Alex’s face. Greg then said, “I can’t they’ll kill me for the edit but I really want to.” Alex replied, “is it weird that I really want you to?” Greg then had quite a long conversation with the gallery and then turned to Alex and tossed it in his face. Alex made a brief surprised expression and started to wipe his face and Greg said, “oh god that felt so good,” he squirmed a bit in his seat and then added, “I’ve got such an unexpected erection.” And Alex leaned over to look at his lap.
As part of the prize task Greg made Alex (I say made but Alex put up no struggle whatsoever) eat a kebab in a wrap with jam and then called Alex ‘baby girl’ and Alex just smiled cutely at him.
Greg called Alex ‘baby boy’ in a variety of different styles and inflections and every time he said, “baby boy?’ Alex would reply, “yes?” And this went on for a really long time. Greg was repeating ‘baby boy’ to him and messing up and refusing to move on and he said, “this is not even on the autocue, I’ve just said to myself I’ll say the baby boy thing at him.”
Alex said he was going to wait to tell Greg the scores until after the ad break and Greg said, “you fucking little tease,” to him in a sexy growl and Alex turned to look at Greg and bit his bottom lip while maintaining eye contact with him.
Greg called Alex a cunt when he did something wrong in the mustard/custard task and Alex got all squirmy about it. Alex then said that his job was so difficult, I think in response to the thing he did wrong, and then Alex added “Hashtag hard for Horne,” and looked directly at me with a little smirk and I managed to nod and smirk back, the little shit.
Alex made a sexual joke, I still can’t remember what about and Greg said, “you don’t usually say dirty things like that,” and Alex replied, “not often.”
After the task in which Joel ate a bit of wax in lieu of a sweet they were talking about anything being food if you put it in your mouth and Greg said to Alex, “in that case I’ve got something for you in my dressing room. and it's not food.”
Amy offered Greg a sexy piece of wood and he said, “I’ve got wood,” and again Alex checked his lap and Greg added, “actually I don’t often and that’s the problem.”
During a task, Greg said that Alex leaned across to him and described one of the male contestants as ‘hot’ and Alex just nodded in agreement that he did.
Greg called Alex a ‘pussy’ when an audience member asked why Alex won’t reveal who the contestant he doesn’t like is, Greg said, ‘because he’s a pussy. I’ll tell you, I’ve got like 10 of them I don’t like, but I asked him the other day and he now says that he likes that person again.” The audience member then said, “it doesn’t matter if you tell us then,” and Greg was like “clever but no.”
Greg called Alex ‘boy’ when he passed over to him for the live task.
Greg threw water at Alex again in the episode and said, “we all knew it was coming and yet it was still funny,” he then looked down at his lap and looked at Alex. Alex asked the audience, “do I look wet?” And smirked at me (hopefully that was a coincidence and he is not aware of Wet Alex Horne…) then the audience responded no and he asked, “where did it all go?”
The bit that made me gasp the most though was they were doing Greg’s makeup and he asked if it was because he was sweaty and the makeup woman said no, and he asked why they were touching it up then and she said it was because Greg was a bit red. Alex then leaned over and said you are a bit red and Greg responded to Alex, “that doesn’t bode well for you tonight then because daddy’s horny.” Then he panicked a bit and said, “I’ve creeped myself out with that one,” and Alex touched his arm really softly and reassured him that it was okay.
It was a great experience and I highly recommend if you get the opportunity to watch them flirt in real life, then definitely take it.
