Förkväll

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Förkväll (2006-2007) is a Swedish daily talk show that started airing in 2006 on TV4 in Sweden.

Förkväll focuses on life style and popular culture and is an attempt to compete with the SVT show Gokväll, but for a younger demographic.

The hosts are model and reality show star Carolina Gynning, singer and actress Kayo Shekoni, journalist Alexandra Pascalidou, comedian and radio show host Carina Berg and author Mari Jungstedt. Among the guests have been Victoria Silvstedt, Kjell Bergqvist, Helena Bergström, Andreas Wilson, Anna Book, Måns Zelmerlöw as well as internationally acclaimed stars such as English boy band Westlife.

On the 23 of March 2007 it was revealed that TV4 was about to cancel Förkväll after its season finale the same day. TV4 got a storm of emails and phone calls from angry viewers and TV4 says to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and Expressen that they are now instead planning a third season later this year.

On May 24 the decision was made to cancel Förkväll. The reason was economical and that Carolina Gynning didn't want to continue on with the talk show.

Carolina Gynning and Carina Berg will be hosting the audition part of Idol 2007 in Sweden.
