Ă pen Post
à pen Post was a Norwegian sketch comedy television program that ran on the Norwegian state channel NRK from 1998 till 2002. It was created and hosted by Harald Eia and BÄrd Tufte Johansen. The show started in a talk show format with interviews and guests but later leaned more towards being a pure sketch show. The show became one of Norway's most popular TV productions though it was the center of criticism due to controversial episodes such as BÄrd Tuft Johansens "Chicken stunt", involving the then Norwegian Labour Party leader ThorbjÞrn Jagland. After the show was taken of the air Harald Eia and BÄrd Tufte Johansen continued to created new successful NRK shows such as Uti vÄr hage, Team Antonsen, Tre brÞdre som ikke er brÞdre, Ut i vÄr hage 2 and Storbynatt.
