It started as a joke at the Edinburgh Fringe but Channel 4 game show Taskmaster's zany format has become an unlikely global success, exported to 120 countries and earned its creator and co-star a giant payday, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 15, 2024
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Stand on one leg, please, close your eyes and hum the Marseillaise. Now, without opening your eyes or falling over, your task is to invent a gameshow to sell to 120 countries worldwide. Your time starts . . . now. Ridiculous as it sounds, that's what comedian Alex Horne has achieved with Taskmaster, the TV format that began as a half-baked lark for the Edinburgh Fringe 15 years ago and is now set to enjoy its 18th series. Jack Dee and Rosie Jones are among the latest contestants, in a lineage of more than 100, including Noel Fielding , Shirley Ballas , Katherine Ryan , Bob Mortimer , Adrian Chiles , Mo Farah , Morgana Robinson and Dara O Briain . . . to name just a few of the winners. In the process, it has turned its creator into one of the richest men in the business. Last year Horne earned £7.5 million from his production company Shakey - an increase of £2 million on the previous year. And that's before a virtual reality game launches later this year, with a live stage show also promised.
