A fat bald white man is the first episode of the fourth season of Taskmaster. The show features five comedians who are assigned a variety of tasks to complete, with points awarded for their performance on each task. At the end of the series, the comedian with the most points will be crowned the Taskmaster.
In this episode, the comedians are introduced to the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies, who welcomes them to the show and explains the rules. The contestants are Paul Chowdhry, who is described as a bald man with a thick beard; Tim Key, described as a bald man with a gap in his teeth; Romesh Ranganathan, described as a bald man with a beard; Frank Skinner, described as a bald man with a distinctive voice; and Josh Widdicombe, described as a man who is not bald.
The first task involves the contestants trying to see how far they can throw a potato. The second task is a collaboration challenge, where the comedians must create a portrait of the Taskmaster using everyday objects found in a shed. The third task involves the contestants trying to identify which objects are missing from a set of fake crime scenes. The fourth task is a physical challenge, where the comedians must wear large inflatable suits and attempt to pop each other's balloons.
Throughout the episode, there are plenty of laughs as the comedians try to outdo each other on each task. Romesh and Tim have a particularly funny exchange during the potato throwing challenge, while Frank struggles with some of the physical challenges due to his age. Paul and Josh also have some amusing moments as they try to decipher the clues in the crime scenes.
Despite the comedy, however, there is also a competitive edge to the show. The contestants are all eager to impress the Taskmaster and win as many points as possible. There are several moments of tension as the comedians try to complete the tasks as quickly and accurately as they can, knowing that their performance will be judged.
Overall, A fat bald white man is an entertaining and engaging episode of Taskmaster. It sets the tone for the rest of the season, introducing the contestants and the challenges that they will face. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing their favourite comedians in action, while newcomers will be hooked by the humour and the competition.
