Put the com in comedy. Your sisters an actress but you were a lawyer. What took you down this path . I started doing standup comedy in sweden two and a half years ago. Why sweden . Theyre so known for their sense of humor. I was trying to find the least funny place in the world where i would look funny by comparison. Some of abbas clothes were funny, but not on purpose.

Now what about the acting portion of this . How did you learn that part . Because youre a natural at it, greg, you really are. Thank you so much.

What does your wife think of this comedy thing . Funny or not . Yeah, shes fairly supportive. So to say. What does that mean . The way you portray her mother and stuff. Yes, her parents dont come off looking too well. Also she married a lawyer, and then her lawyer husband is all of a sudden making out with young swedish actresses. Oh, and he wrote the show himself. I had no one else to blame. And cast it too. I dont know how that happened. I dont know how that scene got in there. Threeway . How did the threesome scene get in there . Seems like a bit much. Totally different swedish humor than here in the states . I hope not. We tried to find jokes that worked in both places, the universality in comedy. Airing in sweden first . Yeah. Do they know you, youre a star . Im like the yakovsmirnoff of sweden. I think we have a microphone. Thats all you need. You need a microphone and the today show. Youre just going to hand me a microphone, i dont have to stand up . Thats the worst pressure of all time. Google how do it. Ill start with my kathie lee material. All right. Well, tonight ive always been a bit of a trend setter, have to say. I was following people way before twitter came out. Wow, youre dying. Let me try one of my swedish jokes, see if that works. So im at this smorgasbord, right . And i go up to magnus and i say, magnus, hoika. What is hoika doing at a smorgasbord . He says, what are you, from norway .
