Best bit from the (real) variety article:

So how will you retaliate? Are you already forming plans?

There were things that I decided not to do this season because I felt like they were too unconscionable, which now I floated right to the top of my list for Season 8.

I thought Brennan quit to make doll shoes!

This feels like an final season type skit, and that made me a little scared, until I read the variety article where Sam said that he was already planning season 8.

Now I’m doubly convinced that we need Sam on Taskmaster. What a great episode!

I haven’t watched the episode yet but the link from the mailing list goes to https://www.ep11.love/
