Old School. Biblically Independent.

This interview with Seth Meyers is a few days old, but I’m writing about it because I just saw the Taskmaster episode in question last night because it’s a family show and it’s difficult to get all the members of the family together at the same time because we’re all very busy, so Taskmaster typically takes a few months to complete. I also know that the season has officially wrapped, and that not everyone loved Kumail Nanjiani this season. I am not among those who did not love him, because I did and I do and through 21 seasons, I’ve never encountered a Taskmaster contestant I did not like (one particularly season 22 cast member, however, may finally put that to the test).
The point is: Kumail was on Taskmaster. He was great. But, on the sixth episode of the season, one of the tasks asks the contestants to do the bravest thing they could think of. Kumail won that round because he went above and beyond, for better or worse. Kumail allowed Alex Horne to look through his unfiltered Internet history. On a very popular show. That would be seen by millions of people.
There was, as Kumail explains in this interview, a lot of adult content in his Internet history, although that was less embarrassing to Kumail than something else in his internet history: He self-Googles.
Personally, I didn’t think the self-Googling was all that embarrassing. What famous person isn’t curious about what other people are saying about him? I think the adult content was definitely the most embarassing, not because he was watching it, but because he was apparently still watching it while he wife was in town for the week.
Here’s the interview, all cued up for you:
And here’s the task, all cued up:
My favorite part, really, is how much sh** Greg Davies actually gave him because he still does Wordle. I would also note here that it’s pretty impressive that Kumail managed to do the most humiliating thing in the history of Taskmaster in the same episode that Joanna Page told this story:
