During the fall of 2023 led Marko “Markoolio” Lehtosalo the program with mother Irma Lehtosalo by his side.
Channel 5 is also introducing a big change for the spring season: there will be two contestants pitted against each other in each episode, instead of one contestant as it was before.
The program is broadcast on Kanal 5 and Discovery plus.
Leif & Billy took a break
The comedy series Leif & Billy on SVT was a great success, and ran on SVT for seven seasons. But this summer the comedy duo announced they were taking a break – a decision supported by the channel.
But in a way, you can say that Leif & Billy are still making a comeback – in January 2024, their comedy show “God damned what a show” will premiere, which will first run at the Scala Theater in Stockholm, and then will run at the China Theater.
