Svenska nyheter (Swedish for Swedish News) is a Swedish weekly satirical comedy programme broadcast on SVT1, making fun of that week's latest news stories. The show was hosted by comedian Jesper Rönndahl during season 1 to 3 (2018 – 2019; there are two seasons per year).[1] Kristoffer Appelquist was the host[2] season 4 to 10 (2019 – 2022). Messiah Hallberg is the new host beginning with season 11 (2023).
In September 2018, the show received international attention when it made fun of China and Chinese customs.[3][4]
In October 2022, the show again received international attention when it made fun of Turkish president Recep Erdoğan.[5] The Turkish foreign ministry summoned Sweden's ambassador to Turkey, to provide a complaint about the show's jokes about the president.[6] Sweden had just before applied for NATO membership as protection against a possible invasion by Russia, membership applications must be approved by all members, something Turkey has hesitated on.
