Taskmaster’s Greg Davies has revealed the Hollywood star he would love to see appear on the popular show, as well as the royals who “haven’t returned his calls”.
The comedian and his Taskmaster co-creator Alex Horne were all smiles as they attended the 63rd Rose d’Or Awards on Monday night.
And it turned out to be a triumphant night for the couple, as their beloved series took home the Comedy Entertainment award.
While reflecting on their success, the fun duo revealed some big names on their wish list who would love to be a part of the show.
“We want Prince William in on this, but he hasn’t returned our calls, not once,” Greg, 56, joked.
And while Alex, 46, suggested one of Elon Musk’s sons could be an interesting addition, Greg revealed he has his sights set on Hollywood – in particular, Ryan Gosling.
Taskmaster’s Greg Davies has revealed the A-list star who would love to appear on the popular show with Alex Horne, as well as the royals who “haven’t returned his calls”.
The comedian and his Taskmaster co-creator Alex Horne were all smiles as they attended the 63rd Rose d’Or Awards on Monday night.
“I want Ryan Gosling on the show,” the Inbetweeners star revealed. It’s quite fun. Yes, I think that would punish him.
It comes as Greg announced last month that he would be leaving Twitter, now known as X, for good.
Disclosing his decision exclusively to MailOnline at the awards, he explained: “Social media is just not a good thing for me, I get sucked in too easily and waste too much time.”
He went on to reveal that he was “surprised” to be named in a list of celebrities who left the platform following Donald Trump’s election victory.
‘I will say that I didn’t make any political statements when I left Twitter. I just didn’t want to be in X anymore,” he said. “I don’t hold a grudge against anyone for staying there, good luck to them!”
Celebrating their own victory, Greg and Alex kept their plans cheerful.
“We’ll have four drinks of something,” they laughed, before revealing their plans for a special “kids’ Christmas party” (just the two of them) at their favorite Nordic Bar in London’s West End.
“I’m always surprised that people from other countries like it,” Greg admitted while reflecting on Taskmaster’s international success.

And the Taskmaster empire continues to expand, with 17 seasons under its belt and a spin-off, which launched last month.
In Junior Taskmaster, 25 children ages 9 to 11 compete to win a Golden Head trophy.
But for the spin-off, Greg handed the reins to Rose Matafeo, 32, and Mike Wozniak, 45.
Speaking about his absence to Radio Times in October, he explained: “I would probably be too scary for the kids and I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself.”
Held at King’s Place in London, the 63rd Rose d’Or Awards brought together hundreds of industry professionals and stars to honor outstanding achievement and creativity in international television.
Among the winners was Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman, 66, who received the Performance of the Year award for his portrayal of Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses.
Of his win, the Oppenheimer star said: “Playing Jackson Lamb has been so much fun and to be recognized by the Golden Rose for this role is absolutely incredible.”
