– I have had enormous pleasure in creating a national campfire gathering on Friday evenings, but everything has its time, says Anne Lindmo. Since 2012, Lindmo has been a symbol of weekend TV. Guests, funny moments, fascinating stories and music have gathered the people in front of the TV screen on Friday evenings. – How does it feel to pass yourself off as Norway’s talk show queen? – Haha, I guess I’ve never felt so comfortable with that title, but it was of course a big decision when I decided to complete this adventure that I’ve been lucky enough to be part of, says Lindmo before to: – It feels right. I’ve known all along that I should give up while the game is fun and good, and it is now. In addition, there are some new projects on the horizon that I am extremely excited to get started on. Anne Lindmo has had many visitors. Including Therese Johaug in the spring of 2022. The world-renowned shoemaker and artist Little Steven visiting Lindmo in 2014.

Memorable moments Although the 53-year-old is ready for new adventures, there are still many things she will miss with having her own talk show on Friday evenings. – I will miss the nice, excited holiday feeling we have when the studio is set up, the audience has arrived, the guests are ready and the vignette is running, explains Lindmo. – And not least working with my team, the intense days at the desk where we arrange guests, do research and write scripts, in an atmosphere characterized by high ambitions and low shoulders, and stingy and fierce humour, she further states with a big smile on your face. With 12 years as a talk show host, there are many memories to reminisce about. Lindmo emphasizes that more than a single memory, it is incredibly valuable to have the long timeline to look back on.

We thanked Marit Bjørgen when she retired, and introduced the Ingebrigtsen brothers when they were still in the starting pit. – Lillebjørn Nilsen, Per Fugelli have been with us. And Shabana Rehman said goodbye in many ways here. Lindmo goes on to point out that some of the best interviews she has done are with those who stand on the front line and fight against everything that threatens our safety and community – people who fight against racism, abuse, who volunteer and care for the weakest in the society. – It is perhaps what I am most proud of, that we have been able to highlight such fine everyday people as heroes, emphasizes Lindmo.
