Trond-Viggo Torgersen

Norwegian television personality who, while studying medicine (and ending up a full fledged doctor of medicine in 1980) worked at NRK (Norwegian National Broadcasting Network) and through hosting a series of educational and entertaining shows for kids and youths in the 1970s became an icon to a generation of Norwegians. Today he is considered one of the best loved comedians, writers, TV hosts, recording artists and doctors (!) in Norway, a legend in his own time.

Being on television is like entering a public toilet, closing the door and talking very loud so everybody can hear you. Very loud, farting and everything. Like a feeling of being by yourself, because you don't know who's out there. At the same time they see and hear everything you do.
