Jenny Eclair joins Taskmaster: The People’s Podcast
Jenny Éclair is taking over as host of Taskmaster: The People’s Podcast from Lou Sanders.
The series 15 veteran will co-host the official fan podcast of the Channel 4 show with comedy writer and Taskmaster aficionado, Jack Bernhardt.
Earlier this week, Sanders revealed she was quitting after 73 episodes ‘to spend more time with my family – aka my cats’. She told Bernhardt: ‘I’m very sad, I feel it may be the biggest regret of my life. I do feel sad, it’s not a decision I took lightly…’
Bernhardt tweeted today: 'Jenny is incredible and bonkers and brilliant and SO enthusiastic, can't wait to grind that enthusiasm down with my utterly baffling statistics.'
The People’s Podcast is billed as ‘a deep dive into the world of Taskmaster, talking to behind-the-scenes guests, superfans and some of the most beloved Taskmaster characters’.
It is separate from the official Taskmaster podcast, hosted by former champion Ed Gamble, and which offers a breakdown of each episode immediately after it airs.
Earlier this week it was revealed that the 16th series of Taskmaster will launch at 9pm on Thursday September 21, Channel 4. Taking part are Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont, Sam Campbell, Sue Perkins and Susan Wokoma.
