The Funniest man in Denmark with the funniest show in Denmark
There is no doubt in my mind that Mikael Bertelsen is the funniest person in danish television. He is not funny in the usual way though. "Bertelsen - de uaktuelle nyheder" (2002) Brings an intelligent twist to the way news are broad casted. He takes up a ridiculous topic and presents as if it was a world sensation or makes his own telephone survey. He has well known guests(mostly from the danish government which he oppose). His tactics is usually to accuse them for saying something and because he is intelligent he manages to get them on thin ice(almost always) and the politician looks stupid and embarrassed(always).
He even managed to get the danish prime minister to show up. Which is an accomplishment since he had accused him of saying that he wanted "to kill adults on morning TV".
Now Mikael Bertelsen is one of the leading men at DR2 and he is producing all programs made for them. I just hope he will be back at writing and hosting soon so that we will be able to see him in person and more directly than in a producing role.
