I Kveld Med Ylvis

*I Kveld Med Ylvis* (Tonight with Ylvis) was a Norwegian TV talk show hosted by Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker, with Calle Hellevang-Larsen as a their co-host. Intern Magnus Devold was also a regular feature on the show, getting an increasingly larger role in subsequent seasons. The show aired on TVNorge from 2011 to 2016.

The format of *I Kveld Med Ylvis* was similar to American late-night talk shows, mixing guest interviews with pranks, sketches and parody music videos done by Ylvis. It was consistently one of TVNorge's top-rated shows during its run.

*I Kveld Med Ylvis* debuted on TVNorge 21 September 2011. For Season 2 (2012), Calle was replaced by Swedish stand-up comedian David Batra. Calle was starring in a parody news show on TV2 with his own troupe, the Raske Menn (Fast Men) that year.

The fifth and final season of *I Kveld Med Ylvis* aired from January to March of 2016.

Season 1 of *I Kveld Med Ylvis* was produced by Funkenhauser Productions, a company owned by comedians Harald Eia and Bård Tufte Johansen. In the spring of 2012  Ylvis and their manager Jørgen Thue started the production company Concorde TV, which produced seasons 2 through 5 of the show.

The first 3 seasons of *I Kveld Med Ylvis* were taped at Riksscenen in Oslo with a live audience. Seasons 4 and 5 were broadcast live from the Folketeatret in Oslo.

Ylvis came to global attention at the start of Season 3 (September 2013) when they posted a video for a song called *The Fox* on Youtube as a teaser for the new season. *The Fox* was a parody of EDM they recorded with Norwegian production team Stargate, and was intended to be a flop that they could joke about on their show. To Ylvis' amazement, *The Fox* went viral almost immediately and led to them spending much of the season flying around the world for interviews and TV appearances - including a memorable performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Season 5 kicked off with a special UNICEF fundraiser broadcast on 22 December, 2015 and the regular season began 5 January , 2016. Season 5 also included special Youtube episodes in English, called *Tonight with Ylvis*, that were taped backstage after the main show had finished.

The final episode of *I Kveld Med Ylvis* aired 15 March, 2016.

### Katzenjammer Scandal

After two members of Norwegian band Katzenjammer were interviewed on episode 4, the Norwegian tabloid *VG* reported that the women had accidentally flashed their panties and posted a video clip on its website to prove it. Katzenjammer were unconcerned and Ylvis responded on the next show with video footage that had allegedly been edited out of their previous appearance. It featured both women sitting with their legs wide apart and getting spanked while chatting with Ylvis.
