Pär Lernström’s joy: “Almost like a birthday morning”

During yesterday’s gala, Pär Lernström was awarded the crystal for “Male presenter of the year”. A long-awaited award for the 44-year-old who got to take a crystal home to his children.
– It was almost like a birthday morning, he says in Efter fem.

It was a very taken and emotional Pär who had to step up on stage at Cirkus to receive the crystal for “Best male presenter”. In his speech, he thanked, among other things, all employees during his 15 years at TV4.

– I am even more grateful for the people I have been able to do it with, some of whom are sitting here in the room. I have realized very early in my career that I am never stronger than those around me.”

Pär has previously been awarded two crystals for programs in which he has participated, but this was the first as an individual awardee.

– There’s something about working with something you really love and hoping people will think it’s good.

He continues.

– And when you get such a clear grade, like this one, I’m really happy.

Family joy

The speech ended with a tribute to his family.

– Last but not least, Bibi, Loa and Linda – tonight dad will finally come home with a crystal!

When asked how the family reacted, he says that the children were asleep when he got home late last night. Instead, he was celebrated during the morning.

– It was almost like a birthday morning, it was really, really, lovely.

Thanks to his mother – and David Sundin

Pär also took the opportunity to thank his mother’s “Facebook campaign” and “TV4’s fanciest moustache” for the victory.

– David Sundin has been running some kind of campaign that has been going on for several weeks where he has made it his big thing that this would become a reality. It is extremely beautiful and nice in every possible way.
