Taskmaster (British TV series)

Suurmestari (Finnish for 'Grand Master') is a Finnish entertainment program on MTV3 that started on April 12, 2020, based on the British Taskmaster television format.[1] Competitors perform various tasks that they receive from the Grand Master.

Jaakko Saariluoma is the Grand Master in the program and Pilvi Hämäläinen is the judge. In the each episode of each Season, there are four regular contestants with different fifth changing competitor each episode. Competitors perform tasks for points and the one with the most points wins. In each episode, the prize is different items from the competitors that the competitors have brought with them. The winner of each episode gets all the items brought in. The overall season winner, which is one of the regular contestants, wins the "Grand Master Statue", and is the contestant of the season.

The first series took a summer break on 17 May 2020, with three episodes from the first production season not shown, and the remaining episodes were shown on MTV3 and the streaming service on MTV from 13 to 27 August 2020. More episodes were released on 17 May 2020.[2] The first season was a great success, and for that, on August 27, 2020, a second season of the series was announced for spring of 2021.[3]

Suurmestari has won the Golden Venla award of the "Best Game Show" three times in the row; in 2020,[4] 2021 and 2022.
