From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Casper & Mandrilaftalen (English: Casper and the Mandrill Deal) was a Danish TV program aired on DR2 in 1999.
Casper & Mandrilaftalen is a surrealistic comedy sketch and talk show hosted by Casper Christensen. He began with the two other Danish comedians Lasse Rimmer and Lars Hjortshøj and later Frank Hvam joined the program. Other Danish comedians were also occasionally part of the program, e.g. Jan Gintberg, Anders Matthesen, Mick Øgendahl, Uffe Holm, Sebastian Dorset and Anders Lund Madsen. John Cleese also made an appearance in one episode.
All in all 67 episodes were made. The first 48 episodes were shown the first time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 23:30 in the first half year of 1999. The next 19 episodes were shown on Wednesday and Friday in the other half year of 1999. The episodes were typically shot in the late morning and shown the same evening without much editing being done.
In 2003 the four comedians met again and made a new episode called "Fisso". It was released on the second DVD of Casper & Mandrilaftalen.
