Koefnoen (say: koof noon) is a very popular Dutch television show, aired by the AVRO. The first episode aired on September 17, 2004. The sketches on this show take a look at the past week.
Most characters in Koefnoen are done by Dutch comedians Owen Schumacher and Paul Groot. A few other comedians support them in the show. All these comedians transferred to the AVRO when Kopspijkers, another Dutch televisionshow, ended.
'Koefnoen' is a Yiddish word and means "for free". The word comes from 'kof' and 'nun', the names of two Hebrew letters, which are the first letters of the words "no charges".
