Nytt på nytt

'Nytt på nytt' is a Norwegian adaptation of the iconic British comedy program 'Have I Got News for You', produced by the renowned Hat Trick Productions. This weekly Friday night show has captured the hearts of Norwegian viewers, becoming a staple in their television schedules.

The format of 'Nytt på nytt' is a friendly competition between two panels, each consisting of a permanent panelist and a guest. The tasks they are given are designed to test their wit, humor, and knowledge of current events. However, the true essence of the show lies not in the competition itself, but in the entertaining banter and quick-witted remarks exchanged between the panelists. The scores, while kept, are largely overlooked, with only a brief mention at the end of the show.

The show is expertly hosted by Jon Almaas, who is joined by permanent panelists Knut Nærum and Ingrid Gjessing Linhave. Linhave took over from Linn Skåber in the autumn of 2013. Since its inception in the spring of 1999, 'Nytt på nytt' has grown to become the most popular weekly show on Norwegian television, attracting more than a million viewers every week. Its success can be attributed to its unique blend of humor, current affairs, and the undeniable chemistry between the panelists and the host.
