Taskmaster Hall of Fame: Ranking the Most Legendary Contestants! (Den of Geek)

To mark the launch of Series 15 on Channel 4, we celebrate Taskmaster's 25 most memorable and funny contestants so far.

[Taskmaster](https://www.denofgeek.com/taskmaster/) gem. [Taskmaster](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/taskmaster-ranking-every-series-from-good-to-best/), comedian and writer Brady delivered more than a few moments of actual genius. [Mike Wozniak](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/taskmaster-mike-wozniak-best-moments/) was almost even too polite to pass wind despite memorably having been assigned it as a solo task (“Fart. [Alex Horne](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/taskmaster-the-cult-british-comedy-show-coming-to-save-america/) categorically the worst thing he’s ever eaten on Taskmaster, but she did it (a mix of popping candy and burnt pornography). [Taskmaster](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/taskmaster-ranking-every-series-from-good-to-best/) journey was laden with moments of despair and awkwardness that are hard to match. [haggling joke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E9Ut5liA7E) during the prize tasks, which only got funnier each time he did it. [Sally Phillips](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/sally-phillips-interview-ferdinand-taskmaster-smack-the-pony-veep/) could have got into the Taskmaster hall of fame for any one of several tasks, from her special cuddle with Alex (complete with lettuce-sprinkle and armpit chocolate cake), to her erotic watercooler moment, to her recreation of the miracle of birth using Alex wearing a pair of her flesh-coloured pants. [Taskmaster](https://www.denofgeek.com/taskmaster/), and it was sublime to watch. [Taskmaste](https://www.denofgeek.com/taskmaster/) [r](https://www.denofgeek.com/taskmaster/) are brave souls willing to expose the inner workings of their minds for the sake of dumb fun (and a boost in tour and book sales). [Victoria Coren-Mitchell](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/only-connects-best-toughest-most-impossible-questions/) would easily be number one. [Taskmaster](https://www.denofgeek.com/taskmaster/) is a great leveller that celebrates both genius and failure. There was no time wasting allowed; he refused to greet Alex at the start of every task and got in trouble for rushing Greg during one of the prize tasks (which gave us a lovely insight into Greg Davies as a school teacher – reasonable in a way that is slightly terrifying).

For the first location task of the show, the comedians were entrusted with a 'unicorn barge' to drive along the canal. The boat had a bargepole attached to the front and pointing forward, ready to catch swim rings hanging from nearby trees. The instructions didn't specify it had to be the same ball of string, after all, and Alex had to stop the clock. Unfortunately, Frankie never completed the task as he failed to turn the envelope around. Provided with a ball of string, they had one minute to unwind it. [Taskmaster](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a43325234/taskmaster-channel-4-future-spin-off/) has returned to grace our screens with [a new line-up of comedians](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a43334194/taskmaster-series-15-date-channel-4/) in with a chance to win the coveted gilded sculpture of Greg Davies's head.

A good soul, and a great Taskmaster contestant. There was no time wasting allowed; he refused to greet Alex at the start of every task and got in trouble for rushing Greg during one of the prize tasks (which gave us a lovely insight into Greg Davies as a school teacher – reasonable in a way that is slightly terrifying). Their chalk and cheese partnership was great fun to watch. He threw himself into every task like his life depended on it, with some impressive results including accurately throwing a tea bag into a cup from a whopping 23 metres away and finding an ingenious way to identify the most pie flavours. But it was Coren-Mitchell’s moments of vulnerability in the tasks that required more street smarts than book smarts that make her a Taskmaster great. It’s a show that rewards originality, unique thinking and commitment to absurdity and laughs.
