the part where Alex asks him to draw an appliance and he throws out "whisk" and surprises himself to recall that an electric whisk is, indeed, an appliance says a lot about Sam

That run away that the end is real David Correos energy! I'm ready for it.

For somebody who keeps correcting everyones grammar, "how long does who has" is going to chase Alex for the rest of his days.

Sam's frustrated noise when Alex corrects him... feels like we'll be hearing a lot of that.

"Is this part of it?" "It is now..."

Sam has a tremendous “sophomore in high school” energy about him. 😂🎉😊

You know it’s gonna be a good season when an entire cast I’ve never heard of before already feels like old favorites!

Sam's not a contestant I ever expected to see on Taskmaster (certainly not the British version anyway), but I'm so happy he's going to be. I don't think I've ever been quite so excited to see any contestant in action. As odd as he comes across in this video, I think it's only a taster of what a weirdo he really is. He's going to be great.

“Sam complies!”

Everyone that interacts with Sam Campbell falls in love with him... Looks at Alex's face when Sam runs away, true expression of love.

I love these and how much you can see Alex loving the contestants during them.

Woooow this actually makes me sad that there were no artistic tasks in this season, he really is quite good at drawing!

Whoever picks the contestants deserve more money. They have yet to fail the audience's expectations. Every season have just been insanely good.

I'm just amazed at the high quality of all the portraits so far. I look forward to the arts-and-crafts task for this series.

I just looked into Campbell and it turns out this is not the first time I've come across him. He's one the creators behind one of my favourite KZread series of all time 'Nippers'. And he was featured in a couple of episodes of the Aunty Donna podcast!

Just starting, I know Sam is quite good at drawing, so he should be good at this. I also have high hopes for him on the show.

Definitely getting sold on this series already! The interview teasers are really doing their job 😅

I love that he just runs away, no idea why he did it but liked it 😂

Taskmaster is a really effective platform for making me intensely fond of UK celebs whose existence I was completely unaware of prior to viewing the show. Love this show. Passionately adore the humans responsible for this KZread account as well. Just a transatlantic crush factory. ❤🥰❤
