I really like Mae as a character, and a genuinely funny stand up. But wasn’t much of a value add as a Taskmaster contestant. But winners often aren’t.
If you don’t already, check out the Taskmaster Podcast that they did after the win. Very honest and confessional about their appearance. Self aware enough to see how they came across. Admits that they thought they’d aimed at ‘funny’ more. But missed. Was a really nice insight.
Made me realise that it’s a little unfair to expect all contestants to be the perfect blend of; Genius loophole finder, funny failure, creative genius, hopeless, nice, belligerent and loveable.
The same podcast has episodes with Andy, Andy, Alex and Greg. Kind of reminds you that they’re trying to create great tv, not give you five characters to love.
