Do you watch any of the other Taskmaster versions?

We watch the UK one (of course), plus the NZ one in my house (their second series is brilliant). I tried the US one but I'm not sure I even got through the first episode.

I've heard that the Norwegian (or was it the Danish?) Taskmaster was good but I haven't tried yet. There's quite a few to chose from now, too many for me to try myself.

I gave the US Taskmaster a try but couldn't get into it. Lisa Lampanelli continued swearing, was aggravating as it was too much. If I remember correctly, she tended to interrupt others and appeared to deliberately stir up conflicts with people. It was very off putting.

I oddly can't remember if I watched the first episode of NZ Taskmaster or not. Is it worth a watch?

I don't give a shit if anyone swears, but she was just annoying to the point that the show was unwatchable.

NZ Taskmaster is pretty solid. The host is kind of a dud, but the "assistant" is brilliant, and NZ comedians are somehow always a hoot.
