They both like flattery, making snap decisions and don't care if the public completely disagree with their opinions.
So perhaps it should come as no real surprise that Greg Davies has compared his hosting of Taskmaster to Donald Trump's US presidency.

Taskmaster airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Dave. You can also watch all five series of Taskmaster on UK TV Play
