TV channel stopped joke about Prince Carl Philip

On Saturday, the third final of the “Melodifestivalen”, the Swedes’ answer to the “Melodi Grand Prix”, was broadcast on Swedish TV screens.

The show was led by Jesper Rönndahl (43) and Farah Abadi (35), who are known for kicking from the stage.

Didn’t show up



This time it was Prince Carl Philip (43) who was allowed to undergo the test during the broadcast, which should not have been particularly popular.

Had to make changes

Journalist Tobbe Ek writes on the Aftonbladet blog hit bloggingthat jokes were made about the Swedish prince during the tests.

It was all about a pun on “Prince Carl Philip” which, if you say it quickly and a little carelessly, sounds like “prinskorv Philip” (korv means sausage, editor’s note).

Several media outlets have covered the case, including Swedish Women’s Magazine.

When the reporter witnessed this on stage during Friday’s rehearsal, he believed that the audience did not seem to like the presenters’ joke.

“They just have to shorten or delete this. The audience just stares at them,” writes Ek.

When Saturday came and the broadcast kicked off, the production had apparently decided to make changes.

According to Ek, Saturday’s joke must have been changed and shortened. The channel had decided to stop the presenters from pulling the whole sausage joke, reports Svensk Damtidning.

– Consciously

This is not the first time that the presenters’ jokes from the stage have caused reactions. Shortly after the first semi-final of the “Melodifestivalen”, complaints poured in from the viewers. Many believed that the program had too many jokes of a sexual nature.

Surprised on the red carpet

However, it was all deliberate, according to presenter Rönndahl.

– It was a bit deliberate. We wanted to start with a bang. The second program was a little kinder, and then we’ll see with the third. Everything is very carefully planned, the TV profile stated The Express.

During the same interview, Rönndahl said that he does not care about the criticism that comes their way:

– I have noticed that several people have opinions, and that is fun. I am almost only contacted by satisfied people, and then you are happy. But then there are those who are angry. Then you notice that there are some who have never been exposed to my humor.

– Maybe they will get used to it, maybe not. I do not care. I cannot change according to what someone called Maj-Britt thinks.
