Who is Magnus Härenstam?

Johan Herbert Magnus Härenstam is a Swedish television host, actor and comedian. Härenstam hosted the Swedish version of the game-show Jeopardy! for 14 years before being replaced by Adam Alsing. Härenstam is also known for hosting the children's TV-program Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter, which was very popular and has been re-broadcast numerous times since it first aired. Härenstam participated in the music video for ABBA's hit song "When I Kissed the Teacher" where he plays the teacher who gets kissed by Agnetha Fältskog. Well known in Sweden for several decades, he is almost equally popular in Norway after starring in the 1990s sitcom Fredrikssons fabrik, playing the Swedish boss of a Norwegian textile workshop.
