TF1 is bringing hit British comedy format “Taskmaster” to France as part of its big push into premium unscripted entertainment.

“Taskmaster,” created by British comedian Alex Horne and originally launched in the U.K. in 2015, pits five celebrities against one another in a series of increasingly absurd challenges.

Camille Combal, a popular French TV personality who also hosts TF1’s “Masked Singer” and “Qui sera le plus nul?,” has come on board to produce the show, as well as play the Taskmaster’s assistant.
