[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doc_47.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"Forget about memory lane, I travel down Attitude Avenue"'']]
A rapper and comedian.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In the finale, Doc Brown laments this is a flaw he only realised after taking part on the show, which is then compounded by his refusal to deviate from his wrong choice.
* FailedASpotCheck: When tasked with moving items to a trolley across a small river, Doc failed to spot ''two'' bridges across the river on either side of him.
* {{Fingore}}: For his nursery rhyme music video, he rips off a rubber glove to show off a bloody finger. In the studio, he explains that some of it was real blood because he'd had to shoot multiple takes of him [[ItMakesSenseInContext punching the fish he was rapping about]] and the scales cut into him.
* NiceGuy: Greg found Doc's £20 gift, of the apparatus needed to play a game Greg made up with his sister and childhood friend, quite touching. Doc had come across a description of the game from one of Greg's interviews, so he clearly did some research.
!!Joe Wilkinson
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe_w.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"Please don't take it away from me"'']]
A bearded comedian who is a frequent guest on ''Series/EightOutOfTenCats'', and the related crossover show ''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Series/{{Countdown}}''.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After throwing a potato into a hole but getting narrowly disqualified because the tip of his shoe touched the disqualification area, he literally got down on all fours and begged the Taskmaster to let his attempt stand and subsequently win him the full five points. It failed.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He decided to impress a mayor by buying him 42 Callipos, a six-pack of beer, and also threw in £15. When he made a music video for a nursery rhyme, his attempt involved him standing in front of a green screen and mangling the lyrics to "Old [=MacDonald=] Had A Farm" while singing in a monotone to absolutely zero musical accompaniment.
* LimitedWardrobe: Joe wore a brown suit not only for all his pre-recorded tasks, but also for all the studio recordings as well.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Put his own strange twist on this on the eat-an-egg-the-fastest task. Knowing that other competitors would rush through the task, he decided to put together an "artfully" designed plate of food and eat it all at a leisurely pace.
* TimePassageBeard: Unlike other contestants, whose looks remain fairly consistent across episodes, the length of his hair and beard noticeably change from task to task, making it possible to guess which block each task was shot in.
!!Jon Richardson
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jon_403.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"And once again, Jon Richardson is in the lead despite having the littlest legs."'']]
A comedian best known for his appearances on ''Series/EightOutOfTenCats'' and ''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Series/{{Countdown}}''.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: When he is paired with Richard for team tasks.
* ButtMonkey:
** In "Welcome To Rico Face", Jon had to carry out four short, one-minute long tasks that had been set for him by the other contestants.
** Jon's height is also made fun of in the studio at least once an episode.
* HiddenDepths: For a comedian who has established a persona that exaggerates his mild-mannered nature, Jon's music video for "Three Blind Mice" is surprisingly disturbing.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: He was so mortified by his attempt at impressing a mayor that, when the video clip was being shown in the studio, he was genuinely moved to leave the room until the clip had ended.
!!Katherine Ryan
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katherine_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"People don't know how smart I am"'']]
A Canadian comedian and actress.
* TheBusCameBack: Katherine filled in for Katy Wix, when she was ill, in the studio segments of "Bready Bready Bready". [[spoiler: She also returned for the Champion of Champions special.]]
* {{Gaslighting}}: Greg accuses Katherine of doing this when she describes Katy Wix's fake elongated tongue as "realistic", when it clearly had hairs on the side.
* GenreSavvy: Katherine played to Greg's ego by buying him a faux-lordship in the £20 gift task, a strategy which usually pays off in tasks.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When tasked with eating an egg the fastest, she assumed the other competitors would simply eat the egg raw and decided to forfeit because she couldn't bring herself to do the same[[note]]As it turned out, Doc, Jon, and Joe cooked their eggs before consumption. Only Richard swallowed it raw.[[/note]] Alex notes this as one of the very rare occasions that a contestant declined to attempt a task.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Katherine was the only woman in her series. [[spoiler:She was also the only female contestant in the Champion of Champions special, although this is justified since she was the only female winner from the first five series]].
* TheUnfettered: Willing to damage her family's bonds to win her task [[spoiler: in the Champion of Champions special]].

[[caption-width-right:225:''"Four comedians and frequent guest presenter Richard Osman"'']]
The co-presenter of ''Series/{{Pointless}}''.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of the tallest people to ever appear on the show, rivaling The Taskmaster himself!
* BigGuyLittleGuy: When he is paired with Jon for team tasks.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Plays a surprise role as the deliveryman in Series 7, when James has him deliver a task to Alex in a "dramatic" way.]]
* CommonalityConnection: A few of Richard's submissions in the studio are linked to darts, which he knows Greg is also a fan of.
* TheGadfly: When tasked with buying a gift for the Taskmaster, he used the money provided to make several long-shot bets that came through. He then donated the winnings in Greg's name to a Ugandan charity that cares for abandoned children and had them shoot a heartfelt thank-you message to guilt Greg into placing him first.
* GenreSavvy: As a television producer himself, he approached tasks thinking of what sort of tricks and twists he'd throw at contestants to make segments more entertaining to try and avoid some of the traps that Alex and the Taskmaster team set for the contestants.
** Richard is the first contestant to really draw out saying "your time starts now" to give him extra moments to think, a trick later contestants (like known fan James Acaster) copy.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The first four contestants are comedians while Osman is both a TV producer and personality, something Greg frequently points out.
* NiceGuy: Richard advocated in favour of Joe during the notorious Potato Golf disqualification. Ironically, it backfired when Richard's support made Greg more in favour of taking Joe's 5 points away.
* TheSmartGuy: Richard's often the one to use LoopholeAbuse to his advantage, such as carefully reinterpreting the task to suit his plan or not reading out the final line of the task ("Your Time Starts Now") until he has a better idea of what to do, or even starting on a part of the task ''before'' he's actually read it out (i.e. inflating a mattress he thought might be useful for completing a task but discovered it was irrelevant to the completion of the task). Greg even labelled him as the "most cerebral" of Series 2's line-up in the finale.
** For the challenge to 'put the 3 exercise balls on the mat on top of the hill' [[https://old.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/9curb8/i_am_the_taskmasters_assistant_and_creator_of_tm/e5dnmhu/ Alex Horne cites]] Richard's idea to bring the mat to the balls instead of vice-versa as a great example of a contestant outsmarting the challenge and nailing the task.
** In the ''Taskmaster Podcast'', Greg discusses an escalating arms race between the contestants and Alex: the latter has to come up with increasingly careful and complex instructions to stop the GenreSavvy contestants (who will have probably have seen prior series) finding loopholes in the tasks' wording. In doing so he names Richard as the contestant who started this trend, by being the first one to really exploit a task's wording to his advantage.

!!Doc Brown
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doc_47.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"Forget about memory lane, I travel down Attitude Avenue"'']]
A rapper and comedian.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In the finale, Doc Brown laments this is a flaw he only realised after taking part on the show, which is then compounded by his refusal to deviate from his wrong choice.
* FailedASpotCheck: When tasked with moving items to a trolley across a small river, Doc failed to spot ''two'' bridges across the river on either side of him.
* {{Fingore}}: For his nursery rhyme music video, he rips off a rubber glove to show off a bloody finger. In the studio, he explains that some of it was real blood because he'd had to shoot multiple takes of him [[ItMakesSenseInContext punching the fish he was rapping about]] and the scales cut into him.
* NiceGuy: Greg found Doc's £20 gift, of the apparatus needed to play a game Greg made up with his sister and childhood friend, quite touching. Doc had come across a description of the game from one of Greg's interviews, so he clearly did some research.
!!Joe Wilkinson
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe_w.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"Please don't take it away from me"'']]
A bearded comedian who is a frequent guest on ''Series/EightOutOfTenCats'', and the related crossover show ''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Series/{{Countdown}}''.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After throwing a potato into a hole but getting narrowly disqualified because the tip of his shoe touched the disqualification area, he literally got down on all fours and begged the Taskmaster to let his attempt stand and subsequently win him the full five points. It failed.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He decided to impress a mayor by buying him 42 Callipos, a six-pack of beer, and also threw in £15. When he made a music video for a nursery rhyme, his attempt involved him standing in front of a green screen and mangling the lyrics to "Old [=MacDonald=] Had A Farm" while singing in a monotone to absolutely zero musical accompaniment.
* LimitedWardrobe: Joe wore a brown suit not only for all his pre-recorded tasks, but also for all the studio recordings as well.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Put his own strange twist on this on the eat-an-egg-the-fastest task. Knowing that other competitors would rush through the task, he decided to put together an "artfully" designed plate of food and eat it all at a leisurely pace.
* TimePassageBeard: Unlike other contestants, whose looks remain fairly consistent across episodes, the length of his hair and beard noticeably change from task to task, making it possible to guess which block each task was shot in.
!!Jon Richardson
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jon_403.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"And once again, Jon Richardson is in the lead despite having the littlest legs."'']]
A comedian best known for his appearances on ''Series/EightOutOfTenCats'' and ''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Series/{{Countdown}}''.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: When he is paired with Richard for team tasks.
* ButtMonkey:
** In "Welcome To Rico Face", Jon had to carry out four short, one-minute long tasks that had been set for him by the other contestants.
** Jon's height is also made fun of in the studio at least once an episode.
* HiddenDepths: For a comedian who has established a persona that exaggerates his mild-mannered nature, Jon's music video for "Three Blind Mice" is surprisingly disturbing.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: He was so mortified by his attempt at impressing a mayor that, when the video clip was being shown in the studio, he was genuinely moved to leave the room until the clip had ended.
!!Katherine Ryan
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katherine_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225:''"People don't know how smart I am"'']]
A Canadian comedian and actress.
* TheBusCameBack: Katherine filled in for Katy Wix, when she was ill, in the studio segments of "Bready Bready Bready". [[spoiler: She also returned for the Champion of Champions special.]]
* {{Gaslighting}}: Greg accuses Katherine of doing this when she describes Katy Wix's fake elongated tongue as "realistic", when it clearly had hairs on the side.
* GenreSavvy: Katherine played to Greg's ego by buying him a faux-lordship in the £20 gift task, a strategy which usually pays off in tasks.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When tasked with eating an egg the fastest, she assumed the other competitors would simply eat the egg raw and decided to forfeit because she couldn't bring herself to do the same[[note]]As it turned out, Doc, Jon, and Joe cooked their eggs before consumption. Only Richard swallowed it raw.[[/note]] Alex notes this as one of the very rare occasions that a contestant declined to attempt a task.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Katherine was the only woman in her series. [[spoiler:She was also the only female contestant in the Champion of Champions special, although this is justified since she was the only female winner from the first five series]].
* TheUnfettered: Willing to damage her family's bonds to win her task [[spoiler: in the Champion of Champions special]].
