Now we\u2019ve got a teaser for the show\u2019s upcoming 21st season, including some brief shots of Nanjiani adopting some kind of birthing position, because that\u2019s just the sort of dignity that Taskmaster\u00a0affords its guests both foreign and domestic as a simple matter of course.<\/p>\n<p>\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>The teaser itself has the stink of a task about it, too, as creator\/co-host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/get-some-classical-music-and-3-dozen-eggs-taskmaster-s-1844554126\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Horne<\/a> repeatedly informs Nanjiani and his castmates (including Amy Gledhill, Joanna Page, Joel Dommett, and legendary British satirist Armando Iannucci) about a color sequence they should probably keep in mind for some damn reason. We have literally no idea what \u201cblue, green, yellow, green, yellow\u201d means, but we\u2019re guessing\u2014given that this is Taskmaster\u2014that it\u2019ll end up being some combination of clever, chaotic, and very intentionally irritating, as most of the show\u2019s best assignments are.<\/p>\n<p>Taskmaster\u00a0returns for its 21st season on April 9. Because the British comedy gods are kind, the series will air on both the U.K.\u2019s Channel 4 and internationally on YouTube, where it joins literally every other season of the show, in case you didn\u2019t have anything pressing lined up to occupy you for the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019ve known for a few months now that Kumail Nanjiani would be appearing as a contestant on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-358256","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
