Taskmaster Hall of Fame: These are the 14 highest scoring celebrities of all time - from Noel Fielding to Bob Mortimer

Presented by Greg Davies and Alex Horne (who also created the programme, originally as a show for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe), the first series of Taskmaster was broadcast in 2014 on comedy channel Dave, before expanding its audience after being poached by Channel 4 in 2020.

There have only been 17 series proper, along with three special one-off ‘Champion of Champion’ and four ‘New Year Treat’ programmes, comprising one or two episodes.

The show sees (mainly) comedians take part in a range of challenges which are then marked by the hosts, usually (but not always) winning a maximum of five points per task.

In order to judge which Taskmaster alumini have been most successful, and to take into account the often convoluted rules, we’ve taken the maximum amount of points available in each series and worked out what percentage each contestant has won – so if there were 20 points available in an episode and a contestant won 10 points, they would have a 50 per cent success rate.

For the purposes of this list we have restricted it to the 85 celebrities who have appeared on the 17 completed full series of the show – one-off special episodes don’t count.

So, here are – currently – the top 14 Taskmasters of all time.
