Adam Alsing was a well-known and popular radio and television profile for 30 years.
This despite the fact that, at least in the TV box, he also rarely got a full outlet for his talents.

Adam Alsing.
Main program “Twist & shout” (1990), which he co-founded Sanna Ekman, hardly goes to the history of television. Neither do the dating shows “Tur in love” (1991) or “Casanova” (1992). Or … the first of them also became a nursery for Alsing’s companion in the box, Agneta Sjödin. And then he took Renée Nyberg about the role of host.
Led four football gala
Adam worked on it. All the time just like J-O Waldner Adam Alsing had never become the best table tennis player in the world if he had not rubbed his forehand and backhand strokes, Adam Alsing had never had his routine and self-confidence in the art of dealing with ordinary people, often unfortunate when given their only chance on the radio or TV box, if they had not provided routine and security in making television shows week after week.
It was worth it.
In the 2000s, Adam Alsing led the Soccer Gala four times in a row. Three times along with Jessica Almenäsonce with Gry Forssell.
It may be the most difficult task. The shows are always watched by television critics, whatever they are. And soccer players are probably the only people who generally get even more nervous, and Ingemar Stenmarksilent, the so-called “habitual”. To joke with them … there you can talk about jokes that fall to the ground. But Alsing arranged the steak. Otherwise, of course, it would not have been assigned repeatedly.
Took over after Härenstam
Perhaps his most difficult task would have been taking over “Danger!” A few years earlier.
The trivia game on TV 4 had been suspended for 14 years. Magnus Knight (1941 to 2015). He, as a popular comedian, was one of the country’s most beloved artists.
When TV 4 was completely turned off and explained that the ads during the breaks were aimed at target groups other than those who had grown up and loved Härenstam, uninterested older people, therefore, it all ended with the firing of Härenstam and the show. should rejuvenate.
Of course, new host Adam Alsing had to take all the shit. They were all looking for faults with him. But he worked, like the professional he was, at. He did nothing wrong. Other than that, of course, he could never become Magnus Härenstam.
In fact, “Danger!” Over a period of time, the audience increased. But then TV 4 got tired and left the show a season later.
It was his period of greatness.
I think Adam Alsing had his best television stint as director of the “Adam” show 1993-1997 and, to some extent, in the follow-up “#Adam Live” 2011-2012.
The first was a clean board of American shows. David Letterman and Jay Leno. They had a husband, with the drummer of the Golden Times Micke “Syd” Andersson like the great profile that was constantly chatting with the host.
A show that was always unpredictable in a fun way, largely due to Adam Alsing’s ability to ask guests unexpected questions and to increase the madness.
So I thought, and wrote that I also have for myself in any criticism, that Adam Alsing is one of the few who had the ability to direct a Swedish talk show five nights a week.
The sequel had no chance
When the show reappeared in 2011-2012 they tried just that, with Carin da Silva and Daniel Breitholtz as a visitor But then the show was shown in a desperate broadcast time and hardly anyone was watching it.
Adam Alsing jumped between the advertising channels. On Channel 5, he directed “Big Brother” for several years. A shit show then, a shit show today, but still a shit show a little smaller than a professional as a program manager.
To be honest, I can’t say more than “Sweden’s worst car driver” (2009-2014), first TV 4, then Channel 5, is one of the stupidest shown on Swedish television.
It started on Radio Värmland
It would have been fun talking to Adam about it, which he Really I thought, but in those years when I regularly watched it as the worst Swedish TV show, it mostly just got mad at me if we ran into each other. However, an understandable reaction, seen from his side.
And I wonder if he didn’t put more energy into radio shows in those years.
Once, before the television career, he started there on Radio Värmland and during the 2000s he was one of the best and most popular Swedish advertising radio program leaders. If you switched from one channel to another, it was great entertainment news.
There he came to his right, one hundred percent, as the master of light entertainment.
I think it was a shame that he rarely had that talent out on really good TV shows.
