Kongen Befaler
''Kongen befaler'' is a Norwegian comedy programme based on the British show ''Taskmaster (TV series), Taskmaster''. It has been broadcast on TVNorge and discovery+ since 2019. The show features five fixed panelists per series who all complete tasks, judged by Atle Antonsen from Series 1-6, Ylvis, Bård Ylvisåker for Series 7, then again by Atle Antonsen from Series 8 onwards, and assisted by Olli Wermskog. The format for the show was created by British comedian Alex Horne during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010, and was subsequently developed into a successful UK television show in 2015. ''Kongen befaler'' translates as "the king commands" and is the Norwegian name of the game Simon Says. One major difference in this version is that tiebreaker tasks are not featured, so if there is a tie for first place after the live task, they all win the episode, and share the prize pot. The studio sections are recorded in Drammens Teater, a theatre in Drammen, 40 km from Oslo. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
