Greg Davies reveals heartbreaking reason he isn’t hosting Junior Taskmaster

ok.co.uk:

Junior Taskmaster is just about to kick off, and fans will quickly notice that Greg Davies and Alex Horne aren't at the helm this time.The fresh spin-off series, which starts on Friday, 8th November, will feature 25 contestants aged between nine and 11, ready to tackle a range of puzzling tasks purely for our amusement.

Instead of Greg and Alex running the show, Rose Matafeo will be judging the quirky challenges as the Taskmaster, while Mike Wozniak will be in his element overseeing each task.

In an exclusive chat with Radio Times, Greg revealed that he and Alex felt the Junior Taskmaster spin-off "needed a different vibe", with former Taskmaster contestants Rose and Mike stepping up to the plate. "I think Alex and I thought it was a far better idea for someone else to do the kids' version," Greg shared. "I think I probably would be far too scary for children and I wouldn't be able to moderate myself." When asked if he had any tips for the duo as they lead the new spin-off coming to Channel 4, Greg added: "I think Rose and Mike are a great choice and I think that'll be a great combination. "I think the show will be its own show [and] I'm looking forward to watching it, but they don't need my advice." Chatting about potential future versions of Taskmaster, Alex recently told Radio Times: "We did a pilot for Foodmaster.

We've talked about Dogmaster and Carmaster and so on. But I think we're pretty happy with where we are.There's obviously a danger of diluting the product.
