We’ve known for a few months now that Kumail Nanjiani would be appearing as a contestant on the latest season of British panel show/prank show/try not to spill vinegar on yourself while cackling like a psychopath show Taskmaster, following in the footsteps of previous American invader Jason Mantzoukas. Now we’ve got a teaser for the show’s upcoming 21st season, including some brief shots of Nanjiani adopting some kind of birthing position, because that’s just the sort of dignity that Taskmaster affords its guests both foreign and domestic as a simple matter of course.
The teaser itself has the stink of a task about it, too, as creator/co-host Alex Horne repeatedly informs Nanjiani and his castmates (including Amy Gledhill, Joanna Page, Joel Dommett, and legendary British satirist Armando Iannucci) about a color sequence they should probably keep in mind for some damn reason. We have literally no idea what “blue, green, yellow, green, yellow” means, but we’re guessing—given that this is Taskmaster—that it’ll end up being some combination of clever, chaotic, and very intentionally irritating, as most of the show’s best assignments are.
Taskmaster returns for its 21st season on April 9. Because the British comedy gods are kind, the series will air on both the U.K.’s Channel 4 and internationally on YouTube, where it joins literally every other season of the show, in case you didn’t have anything pressing lined up to occupy you for the rest of the afternoon.
