Happened to see the show Kenneth B Kenneth B the other day. Some people seem to think it’s hilarious, but to me it seems to be, well, maybe a bit of an aqcuired taste. It’s basically a “Late Show” parody with cutout paper dolls, hosted by (a paper doll version of) Kenneth Branagh.
Now for the obvious question: is it the real Kenneth Branagh? If not, does he get any money for being the host of the show?
Hmmm, googling about a bit, I can’t seem to find any references to this show outside the Nordic countries. Is it possible that it only runs around here? That would explain the frequent Astrid Lindgren (“Pippi Longstocking”) references. Who is dead, by the way, but still appears on the show.
It’s a very stupid show, and Branagh comes across as a bit of an idiot, so I’m kind of surprised there aren’t any stories about him suing MTV or anything like that…
