I have this conversation pretty often due to the nature of my work and it always baffles me. Even if you somehow ignore the beautiful aspect of human-made-ness, surely the joy is in watching the same thing and sharing it with others? The Mona Lisa isn't cool if only one guy has it in his basement.
I can't imagine they don't have a single person or character they know enough about for this. It's a CV, not their full life story, you need to know three things they've done and some skills they have. If they can't give you those basic details I'd be worried.
How old are these students? I imagine my 11-year old cousin knows a lot about his favourite footballers, for example, but I don't know if his younger sister would know these things yet.
Like that clip of Zac Oyama where he goes "my name is Zac and I'm only going to get older, do you know any Zacs who are 50? One day I'm gonna be a 70 year old man named Zac"
Hey Chrissy, in the future can you please add a word or hashtag to your Taskmaster watch tweets? I mute on Thursdays until I can watch and it would help a lot in avoiding spoilers. Thanks x
My local sci-fi convention doing a taskmaster community event with tasks like "drop the one ring into mount doom from the largest distance, farthest wins" is a 10/10 nerd experience
I highly recommend the Death Becomes Her musical. I don't know what they put in it to make it this addictive, but it's the most hummable soundtrack on my rotation these days.
Not to get soppy on main but it's now exactly two years since The Worst Day TM and the fact that I can get on zoom with people I adore and just laugh for an hour is something I really do not take for granted. The world is awful but I love my friends. Yeah, I mean you. 💛
The show was great, but like, can you imagine explaining this photo to yourself from last October? That thought brings me a lot of joy. You've come such a long way and I'm so thrilled for you both, happy anniversary x
I actually didn't mean to do it the first time, but I had just seen the original cast do it on Broadway and downloaded the soundtrack to listen to on the flight home from New York. I cried the whole 10 hours and a tradition was born. Oddly cathartic, highly recommended!
So you understand how right it is to listen to Captain Bass sing "ladies and gentlemen put your seat backs and tray tables up, right below us is the city where I grew up" as you start landing!
