Based on a popular U.K. format, "Taskmaster" is a game show that requires celebrity contestants to use ingenuity and creativity to complete unusual challenges under the judgmental eye of host Reggie Watts. During the half-hour show, Watts and co-host Alex Horne set a series of tasks and award points based on what the players did and how they did it. At the end of each episode, the contender who has accrued the most points wins a prized possession that either they or their competitors have offered up. At the end of the season, the person with the most points overall wins a trophy and becomes the game's ultimate champion.
