Why David Mitchell Said No To Taskmaster

David Mitchell says that he has turned down appearing on Taskmaster.Mitchell's wife Victoria Coren Mitchell made a splash in the series on C4 but in an interview with Richard Herring for Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast Mitchell explained that he had turned down the opportunity...

That’s a shame :( Although it doesn’t surprise me. Personally I think he’d be great in it :)

I’m not really loving the new series so far. Usually, even when I’m not really excited by the line up, I’m pleasantly surprised once it gets started.
But this time I’m not hating it but not finding any stand out funny moments either.
Julian is quite good, in his usual detached, slightly dismissive way 😆
Lucy seems to have decided to play the slightly quirky one.
Sue Perkins strikes me as someone who has to work quite hard at being spontaneous.
Sam and Susan are both quite good fun.
But, I dunno - I still feel like I’m waiting for it to get going.
 
I would love to see a whole Ted Lasso TaskMaster they wouldn’t need to do it in character either as they seem to be such a fun group, I could see Jason taking it very seriously and being confused about the Britishness of it, Hannah would obviously get away with everything just by flirting with Greg and if you’ve seen Brett’s Sesame Street clip he would just bring so much infectious energy.

Phil Dunster could however come as Jamie Tartt, he would be an endless target for Greg as the weakest link.

Coach Beard on Taskmaster would be amazing

I think Lucy does say some very funny things at times - but like you I find the whole ditzy vague quirky observations routine extremely grating.
I can't see Julian tolerating it really.

Yeah I agree. I think the other comedians are genuinely quick and witty, where as her interactions seem to be long drawn out bits with no real punchline - the laughs are more of a 'is this woman this dumb' as opposed to 'wow Lucy is so funny'

There are some longer Lucy bits on Taskmaster IG and I just have to question … what is she?

Listened to the podcast with Lucy.
She had a couple of tiny moments but largely was not her “ditzy” personality from on Taskmaster at all.
which just makes me dislike her on taskmaster even more as it’s a dialled up stupid act.

Ed Gamble, however, proper fanboys her and guffaws at everything.

I like Ed, but he does this a lot and I wish he wouldn't haha
