About Casper Christensen
Casper Lindholm Christensen (born 22 August 1968) is a Danish comedian. He has hosted many shows including Casper & Mandrilaftalen, the Danish airing of Shooting Stars and Don't Forget Your Toothbrush (Husk lige tandborsten), and the Danish version of Deal or No Deal. He also had a leading role in the Danish sit-coms Langt fra Las Vegas (Far from Las Vegas) and Klovn (Clown/Fool). Christensen was born in Munkebo.
He started his TV career in the Danish children's show Hvaffor en Hand? (Which Hand?) in 1991, but is also well known for hosting the very successful radio program Taeskeholdet (The Whack Pack). One of his characteristics early in his career was his appearance, often including big glasses, whacky hairstyle, and an abstract clothing style, and he is well known for his energetic appearance on screen. In later years, Christensen toned down his crazy appearance and made a career shift towards more serious projects, becoming one of the most sought after Danish TV hosts.
On 1 February 2007, Casper returned to radio with the programme Kongen af Danmark (The King of Denmark) on the Danish radio station TV 2 Radio. He quickly left TV2 Radio and instead began writing on the 5th and 6th season of Klovn with his long-time colleague Frank Hvam; the 6th season aired on TV2 Zulu in the spring of 2009. On 2 October 2009, he aired his project ALOHA!, a live talk show, for the first time on TV 2. He is a born again Christian, having converted when he was 52, and is a member of the Hillsong Church.
