From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marco Robert Bjurström (born May 31, 1966 in Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish dance instructor, director, choreographer, and announcer. He is best known as the host of the television game show BumtsiBum! (1997–2005), which was ultimately based on the Irish The Lyrics Board and watched weekly by more than a million people[1]. Bjurström has hosted several ceremonies, such as the election gathering of President of Finland Tarja Halonen.

Bjurström has also directed the Finnish versions of three musical stage productions for the Peacock Theatre at Linnanmäki – Grease (2002), Hair (2003), and Saturday Night Fever (2004) – and hosted the live television show Tanssii Tähtien Kanssa (based on the British Strictly Come Dancing) together with Ella Kanninen. He was also seen during the pauses of the live Idols broadcasts.

He has been awarded the best male TV performer Telvis four times: in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. His game show BumtsiBum! was also awarded three Venlas in 1997–1998.
