Presenter for TV8 Norge

For years I was one of Norwegian TV channel TV8 Norge’s best known presenters and reporters. I presented TV8’s main program Studio8, a daily studio show similar to The One Show on BBC1, with guests raging from Norway’s top celebrities, politicians and party leaders to experts in a wide variety of fields. As part of Studio8 I ran two series of in depth studio topics; one on health and one on exercise. I later presented TV8’s popular Friday show Weekend, as well as presenting the sports competition Mestermøtet (Meeting of Masters), cookery shows and judging reality shows.

Style – presenting and personal

As I worked in TV8 I was delighted to realize my TV audience truly enjoyed my work,  knowing me for my bubbly enthusiasm, feel-good humour, curiosity and ability to connect with guests and interviewees as well as to engage my viewers regardless of topic. My style and not least signature hairstyle – which I feared might alienate the more conservative viewers – turned out to be a great hit with both young and old;  so much so that my hair soon came to be synonymous with the name of TV8, and I was often referred to simply as “that TV8 presenter with the hair.”
