Taskmaster is an International Emmy and triple BAFTA nominated comedy game show coming to The CW on Sunday, August 2.

Comedian and actor Greg Davies is in the starring role of the all-powerful Taskmaster, who issues simple comedic and bizarre tasks to five comic contestants.

The various tasks, usually performed in isolation or occasionally in teams, are designed to encourage the players to think laterally and creatively.
