Taskmaster’s international rollout is continuing apace, with a local version greenlit by WBD's Polish free TV broadcaster TVN.

I wish I spoke other languages. I love taskmaster but felt like I was missing too many facial expressions and moments of physical comedy by reading the subtitles when I watched the Norwegian version

Australia and New Zealand have their own and multiple seasons of it already. Both are nearly as good as the original. They're definitely different but they're still hilarious.

Oh yeah I LOVE those versions

And we'll just pretend they never even tried one in the US.

Technically Canada had one. But it was Quebecois. So never really aired outside the province I don't think.

There's never been a US version. Closest was season 19 with Jason on the show. Never ever.

I feel like the network is what fucked that up and putting Reggie Watts there just...what? They should have kept the format and gotten someone like Liam Neeson to be the TM and then someone not so known to play the assistant.

Really? Was it in English or French? Same format or just kinda like the uk version?

The lineup they chose was also unappealing
