Jason Mantzoukas Is Just as Much of a 'Taskmaster' Super Fan as You Are — And Now He's Competing This Season
Taskmaster Season 19 star Jason Mantzoukas talks about his love for the show and getting to be its first international contestant.

When Jason Mantzoukas was announced as a competitor for Season 19 of Taskmaster, I knew he’d be a perfect fit. Not only is it the only competition show on television that requires you to be a little bit insane going in — something he’s proven he definitely can be across his various film and TV roles — but I knew for a fact that he’s a huge fan of the show. He knows the British comedy series as well as any other super fan, and when I sat down to talk with him about being a part of the show’s landmark nineteenth series, it felt less like an interview and more like shooting the shit with a friend about a shared favorite.
