Taskmaster was created by comedian Alex Horne, who acts as the Taskmasterās assistant in the main series. Horne came up with the idea to set tasks for his comedian colleagues in May 2009, when he missed the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a major performing arts festival, because he was taking care of his newborn son. Horne turned the idea into a live show at the following Edinburgh festival and eventually an award-winning TV show.
