Skavlan puts awquard questions on family members deaths

Unfortunately there is a another interesting show at the same time as Idol. It is a sitcom run by a Norwegian guy called Skavlan. It's a great show because the guests are always very interesting, and there is also a discussion among the guests. Interesting subjects too.

What I don't like is how they treat people.

For instance when the famous football player Henke Larsson was there, Skavlan gave him the question "how did it feel to get the news about your brother's death just after a football game?". And then the camera was zooming into Henkes face. How awkward isn't that?

Tonight the famous comedian Hasse Alfredsson and his son were invited. Skavlan said "there was also a third son, in the family, who died". You could tell that they were not prepared to talk about that at all. Hasse told some story which saved his son from getting the camera up in his face at that moment.

When Malin Åkerlund was a guest Skavlan made her look stupid since she had obvious problems to understand his Norwegian, while he himself doesn't understand his Swedish guests (not when they make jokes). He didn't understand Hasse Alfredsson very well, nor my favorite Sissela Kyle.

Tonight he had also some American guests, and it seems he understands English pretty well. First guest was a man who had been sitting in jail waiting to be killed for twenty years although he was innocent (in the US). Interesting. To us that sounds like a completely different world.

Then finally the country singer Toby Keith, who has been invited to sing in Oslo at the peace price ceremony this year, although he is known to be pro certain wars. Toby Keith was wearing his cowboy hat covering half of his face, which wasn't at all necessary, since he didn't even get any awquard questions on death in his family as several of the other guests....
