I had posted the {{trivia|date=December 2007}} 'banner' as I guess that Wikipedia may not be a tabloid site (is it?). If I am not wrong, then I may say that two items only could be integrated into the text:

  • Trond Kirkvaag became involved in politics in the 70s, shooting a political campaign short film for the Rød Valgallianse (RV — Red Electoral Alliance) together with Klaus Hagerup <ref>[http://foreninger.uio.no/boygen/solstadintervju.html Bøygen, April 2002: «Intervju med Dag Solstad”] ''(Interview with [[Dag Solstad]])''.</ref>. He usually didn't mix politics into his comedy skits.
  • He co-wrote and directed a show for the trio “Tre kæll” (with Pål Nielsen, Øyvind Johannessen and Atle Jenssen) in 2001 and got involved with them in a campaign for strong health care reforms <ref>[http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2001/06/02/261489.html Dagbladet, June 2, 2001: «Latterlig helsereform»] ''(Preposterous health care reform)''.</ref>.

And though I have doubts about «Despite claims by the tabloid Se og Hør <ref>[http://www.seher.no/cm/SeHer/Kjendisnytt/Norske/1.560013 Se og Hør, June 22, 2007: «Skriver bok fra sykesenga»] ''(He writes a book from his hospital bed)''.</ref>, he did not write or finish his autobiography from his hospital bed» being important, it may be relevant for the Norwegians or those who live there or read the Norwegian newspapers — especially tabloids like Se og Hør, VG and others. Should it be simply removed or should we have elements from it embedded in a sugar-free version? — Kanġi Oĥanko (talk) 13:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
