The 47-year-old has also previously been seen in the TV 2 program “Tonight with Timothy Dahle”, where he played the character of the same name, and in the sports and humor program “Golden Goal” with Johan Golden.

Next year he will make a TV comeback in the twelfth season of «71 degrees north – Norway’s toughest celebrity». When Dagbladet met Elvestad just before the recording, together with the rest of the tour-ready participants, he put his absence into words.

– Actually, I should have been on TV now, with a program series that should have been part of the run-up to the Olympics in Tokyo. It is a bit of a coincidence that it has not arrived. When the Olympics were postponed due to the corona pandemic, the series was also postponed, he says.
He therefore admits that the participation in “71 degrees north – Norway’s toughest celebrity” in many ways becomes a kind of TV comeback.

– There have been some performances, but I have actually worked mostly behind the scenes, with new concepts. And as I said, I have recorded a series that should have been on TV. It’s a bit random, he continues.
– But I have doubted my TV job, even though I have not been in front of the camera, he adds.

Now he will embark on what can quickly become the adventure of his life. Elvestad admits to Dagbladet that he has one goal for participation: not to break out first.
– Then I want to get as far as possible, because it is a cool experience. I will try not to be sent home after two weeks with my tail between my legs, he explains.
With the participation, the comedian hopes to experience a lot of new things, and get to know new people.

– I do not see myself as an old ring fox, but I realize that that is what I am, he admits with a laugh.
The comedian adds that, despite his age, he hopes not to be seen as a father figure to the other participants.
– I hope it is a flat structure, and that everyone takes their place. Then it will be resolved enough, says the 47-year-old.
Elvestad makes no secret of the fact that he likes to have a certain degree of control. If your blood sugar gets too low, he may also lose patience.
– I have a temperament that can come to the surface. Then I can say that I have the upper hand, he explains.

– Physics must play a little more on teams. This is how you notice when you approach 50 years. There are a lot of hips, knees, shoulders, backs and crap, he explains, and adds:
– But also sleeping in a tent for so long, on a sleeping pad that is such a fit ass. It’s a long time to be on tour. So the biggest challenge is to prevent the slightly bad body from collapsing.
