    I don’t know if Bill Burr would be any good at this, but I love Bill Burr so I want to see him in everything! I think his scoring would be hilarious because he’s so “frank” and he’d make the scoring just absolutely hilarious. I can already hear, “what the f__k was that? how can I give you a point for that? geezus!”

    David Spade is versatile, I think he can do a Taskmaster but definitely a different style than Greg Davies.

    I’ve never heard of Paul F. Thompkins before but I just watched a clip and I can definitely see him as a Taskmaster.

    Nathan Fielder … hmm … I’ve never seen him. I just watched a clip. I think I need to watch Nathan For You now, however, I think he’d make a better Taskmaster’s assistant than Taskmaster?

    Zach Woods would make a good TM assistant for sure!

      I personally don’t think Bill Burr would be great but we were really struggling to make a list. I think he’d be an awesome contestant because he shines when he’s annoyed

      I had to sell my friend on Fielder but he came around. All the TMs I’ve seen have had their own style so I was thinking of who could bring a new spin on it. His schtick is the awkward guy but my favorite parts of the show were usually when he’s the awkward, serious, and determined guy. Something about his delivery puts people on the spot in ways I haven’t seen before. I don’t think he’d be a great assistant because his persona is NOT self aware.

      I can’t think of any American comedians with that same “big guy” energy who aren’t douchebags. If TJ Miller wasn’t a piece of shit, I think he could pull it off
