Taskmaster's Alex Horne reveals comedy legend he wants on show
Taskmaster's Alex Horne has revealed the comedy legend he wants to see on Channel 4's iconic gameshow.
The reality series, hosted by Greg Davies and Alex Horne, sees the pair forcing five comedians per series through strange and surreal challenges, testing their comedic muscles as well as their wiles, wit and wisdom.
Appearing on the Always Be Comedy podcast opposite host James Gill, Horne talked about his dream comedian he would love to see trying to win a coveted golden bust of Davies.

"There are a few old-school people who I’d love to have, like Jasper Carrott," he said.
Horn then added: “He’s not chasing things [career-wise], but I think Joe Pasquale would do it and I think he would be great.”
"But it’s a big conversation, because if you’re having Pasquale, you’re not having someone else and it’s ten episodes."
