The genius of Jason’s teaching task is that the narrative and the material effect are completely at odds.
Narratively, he’s teaching Alex to be a dick to the crew of Taskmaster. Metanarratively, he’s torturing Alex by making him pretend to be mean to the crew of Taskmaster.
But materially? He’s giving the crew a chance to shine and be visible on camera. These three women now get speaking role credits. They get an episode that they can show to family and friends. They may get some recognition next time they go out for a role or job. Jason is allowing them to move from less-than-anonymous background workers to part of the show.
This is a very common thing for American panel/late night shows to do. I know for a fact that Seth Meyers shows off his writers constantly, and I believe that Colbert and the Jimmys do as well? Taylor Tomlinson’s After Midnight also frequently features her writers. On the online side, Dropout dedicates entire shows to their Art Departments and frequently features everyone from producers to PAs. Some crew members at Mythical, 2nd Try, and Smosh are on camera more than some of their talent.
Honestly, if Jason brings something lasting to the Taskmaster format, I would love if it were this. Give the crew members that want them some lines, some screentime, and some public acknowledgement. Make them a visible part of the team. I LOVE to see it.
