this is so good

whole new years show knocked it out of the park -- I feel like previous years they'll hit on one or two people but have a few more awkward, nervous broadcaster types (understandably, since they're not picking comedians and often not actors at all). this time pretty much everyone was weird and fun

Yeah I think everyone really felt 'natural' for the show, it was a very fun episode, enjoyed everyone.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

Banger of an episode. Steve, Kojey and Zoe definitely had full season energy. I've never seen Lenny in anything so I don't know if he could hang for 10 episodes or not.

"rararararara" contains the meaning of everything, kept in simple rectangular structures
Can't wait for the task in a few series' time where the team rig* some household appliances to be voice activated and the key to solving the task will be uttering "go down" to operate a toaster. The podcast with the winner was particularly fun this time round - they described the orange-eating incident with the hope it would be released on social media. The moment I finish the episode, the clip comes out.

* realistically we're talking TV magic where some hidden technicians are operating them while listening to the live audio track

Trying to lead a middle-aged life. Well, it's either that or drop dead.

What a fun episode. Definitely wish Kojey and Lenny had a shot at the full series.

I didn’t realize that anyone actually had an Aga oven but it doesn’t surprise me that it was Deborah.

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Kojey is probably my favorite one-off contestant, simply because he understood the game, especially when it came to lying to Alex about "how long it takes to eat an orange", because he knows it's not a personal question. Also, just wanting to feed Alex.

Debra was also delightful, but now I'm scared for the eventual series of Dragons Den when somebody does try pitching a Voice Activated Toaster.

I loved Kojey rapping to an awful jingle like it's the best backing track imaginable.

Edit: Also regarding 'we have an aga', I haven't come across toast that is higher quality than what I could make on the hotplate of my gran's aga.

Just to make sure: you know that's theJan 2022 NYS and there's been two NYS since? I would read "The New Year Special" to mean the one just released in Jan 2024.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Seeing Morgana Robinson again makes me want to see an Oops! All Weirdos special with her, acaster, sam campbell, lucy beaumont, and joe wilkinson

wait, need mortimer in there too...probably some people i forgot

also, google "list of taskmaster contestants" and google served up names and pics, and they've screwed up on some of them; my favorite being Alex's picture labeled as Greg. I'm sure the Taskmaster Greg would have some words

Rhod Gilbert (but you can't have James Acaster and Rhod on the same show... or can you?)

I used to love when he'd be on Would I Lie To You? because he was almost impossible to read. It's like with Brian Blessed, you couldn't rule out that the batshit insane story he was telling was 100% true.

Finally watching the 2022 New Years Treat and I had to stop it to laugh/cry several times. Chiles was amazing, but most of all was “It is orange.” and what seemed like Claudia’s genuine shock at that. So good.
