Quite a funny interview from 2019. He has some hilarious non sequiturs at the end which gives a bit of a peek into his personality and performance on NYT.

Hello all there is an interview I did last year

https://youtu.be/6bFNJO0MV8U

I think it’s a bit but it’s hard to tell the line between Stewart Lee the comedian and Stewart Lee the person.

First come, first serve.

Guests are Dave Gorman and Phil Wang.

7.30pm at Leicester Square Theatre TONIGHT.

I can send you the two PDF tickets, for free, no catch just can't make it anymore and shame to see them go to waste!

TICKETS HAVE NOW GONE!

It came out last week but I only got around to listening to the latest RHLSTP with Louise Wener but at the beginning he polls the audience about who will win the Taskmaster Champion of Champions II.

There's also a story about his wearing (or not) lucky pants during the recording.

There's a lot to love in it for Taskmaster fans, of course, so definitely keep an eye out for the actual release. You can still pay to see the unedited stream up until Thursday.

Especially James roasting Richard for how he approached the tasks.

NOTE FROM MODS: Richard will be joining us at 12PM GMT on Friday 18th November. We are encouraging him to sort comments by new and top, so please upvote all the questions you want him to and join us at midday to add new questions/replies.

Richard Herring is a comedian, podcast, twitch streamer and taskmaster contestant from season 10.

You might know him from his comedy, his wildly successful podcast, RHLSTP (Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast), or now from his almost daily streaming on twitch! Follow and subscribe to Richard at https://www.twitch.tv/rkherring.

His newest book, The Problem With Men (when is it International Mens Day, and why it matters) is out now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0751581453/

from his newsletter today.

When combined with this quote from Alex that RadioTimes ran on Monday: > “I can reveal that we’ve filmed some of it and it’s really, I mean I’m really excited about it,”

I reckon the 2 episodes will be split across the Xmas/New Year TV schedule. If that's the case the studio sections should get an audience.

Love TM. Heard a lot about RH. Seems like he’s super respected by all the comedians. Lots of previous contestants on his podcasts etc.

Heard he’s a massive fan of TM but he doesn’t seem to do anything. Like he doesn’t seem like he’s nailing tasks. Doesn’t seem like he’s being particularly funny or entertaining.

He doesn’t even seem to have much banter with Greg even though I’ve heard they are friends.

Feel just confused by him? Just me? Am I missing something?

Christmas has come early for Taskmaster and UK comedy fans, as we have an AMA with comedian, author, twitch streamer, International Mens Day publicist and all around try hard Richard Herring.

It doesn't matter what position he finishes in (we genuinely don't know), Richard will be joining us on Friday December 18th at Midday.

We will post the thread 12 hours before, allowing questions to be posted early. We are encouraging Richard to sort comments by top and new to give everyone a fair chance of being answered. We encourage you to upvote the questions you want to be answered.

EDIT: TO CONFIRM, WE DON'T KNOW IF RICHARD WINS OR LOSES. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER. THIS IS PURELY US BOOKING SOMEONE FOR AFTER THE FINAL TO TALK ALL THINGS TASKMASTER (AND OTHER STUFF).
