Taskmaster Series 19: Contestants 2025 - My Wild Predictions (and a Few Hopes!)

Okay, folks, buckle up! It's that time again where we're all speculating wildly about who'll be gracing our screens with their hilariously inept – or surprisingly brilliant – attempts at Greg Davies's ludicrous tasks. Taskmaster Series 19 is still a ways off, but my brain's already buzzing with possibilities. And hey, why not share the madness?

I've been a Taskmaster addict since, well, pretty much the beginning. I've seen the rise and fall of many a contestant, witnessed the glorious chaos of the Prize Task, and even, gasp, predicted a winner once (pure fluke, I assure you!). So, I feel like I've earned the right to make some totally unfounded predictions about Series 19's lineup.

Predicting the Unpredictable: My Taskmaster Series 19 Wish List (and some realistic guesses)

Let's be honest, predicting the contestants is like trying to guess what Alex Horne will ask next – near impossible. But, hey, that's half the fun! I've tried to mix my ideal candidates with folks who might actually get picked. You never know – this might even get me a gig as a Taskmaster consultant (a guy can dream, right?).

My Wild Card Pick: I'm putting my money on Richard Ayoade. The man's dry wit is legendary; imagine him wrestling with a particularly bizarre Taskmaster challenge. The comedic gold would be epic. Plus, his deadpan reactions would be pure entertainment gold. It is possible he won’t be available though, but I can hope. This is my dream scenario, folks.

My Realistic Guess #1: A Stand-Up Comedian: Taskmaster loves comedians. I'm thinking someone relatively new-ish on the scene – Someone with a unique comedic style who can handle the pressure. I think someone like Aisling Bea would be amazing.

My Realistic Guess #2: An Actor with a quirky personality: We've seen actors shine on the show before. I reckon someone with a slightly off-kilter personality would be perfect. Maybe a person known for their more comedic roles. Someone who can go from zero to crazy eyes in 2 seconds flat. Think Joe Thomas (though he might be too busy – these people are in demand!)

My Realistic Guess #3: Someone from a completely different field: Taskmaster thrives on the unexpected. So, imagine someone from the world of sports, maybe a slightly awkward but highly competitive athlete? Or perhaps a renowned scientist. The contrast and potential for chaos are delicious. This is where things really get fun because it could be anyone.

Lessons Learned (The Hard Way): Tips for Would-Be Contestants

Okay, so I've never actually been on Taskmaster (yet!), but I've learned a few things from watching countless episodes. Let me impart some wisdom – some hard-won, some obvious – to any aspiring Taskmaster contestants lurking out there.

• Embrace the absurdity: Don't overthink it. The tasks are weird, so just go with it.
• Don't underestimate Alex Horne: He's the mastermind behind the madness, and his judging can be brutal!
• Be creative: It's not about doing it right, it's about doing it interestingly!
• Film Everything: You’ll never know when you might need that footage as evidence of your ingenious (or spectacularly flawed) approach.

The Big Mistake I Made (Analyzing Past Series): I used to focus too much on predicting the winner based solely on their comedic prowess. Taskmaster is about so much more than that. It’s about resourcefulness, thinking outside the box, and embracing the ridiculous. Remember that, and you’re already halfway to success (or at least a memorable appearance!).

Looking Ahead: Taskmaster Series 19

So there you have it, my completely unscientific, yet passionately held, predictions for Taskmaster Series 19's contestants. Who knows, maybe I'll be proven right, maybe I'll be utterly wrong – but one thing's for sure: it's going to be a wild ride! Let’s hope the show keeps bringing that weird, wonderful, and laugh-out-loud brilliance we all know and love.

What are your predictions? Let me know in the comments! And remember, folks, keep those Taskmaster dreams alive!
