It is Louis Morissette himself who will play the role of master of the game, supported by Antoine Vézina as referee. Each week, the duo will challenge comedians Mehdi Bousaidan, Eve Côté, Christine Morency, Matthieu Pepper and Jo Cormier in playful and often ridiculous challenges, according to the game master.
The challenges launched by Morissette and Vézina will test the creativity, ingenuity and resourcefulness of the panel of comedians, their performances being evaluated by the game master. The object of the game is to accumulate the most points to win the episode, with the unusual prize of the week. It is the comedian who has won the most episodes who will be crowned champion or champion of the season.
The original version of the show created and hosted by Greg Davies and his sidekick Alex Horne completed its 13and season in the United Kingdom, in addition to enjoying impressive visibility on social networks — the show’s YouTube channel has accumulated more than 280 million views to date.
Distributed by Avalon TV in Canada, task master has been adapted in 12 markets around the world, including New Zealand, Portugal, Scandinavian countries and Croatia.
