Swedish and Norwegian Friday night talk show Skavlan is set to begin broadcasting in Denmark; however, the host is going to interview guests in Danish.
The show’s Norwegian presenter, 47-year-old Fredrik Skavlan, has enjoyed great success in Sweden since it launched on Sweden’s SVT network in 2009, and has been awarded the Kristallen prize for best male presenter.
Whether he is interviewing guests from his native Norway or from Sweden, he speaks Norwegian due to the fact the languages are so similar. When an international celebrity is on the show, Skavlan and the other Swedish or Norwegian guests switch to English.
