Description
Ants Robert Kristian Luuk is a Swedish comedian and talk show-host of Estonian descent. A graduate of the Stockholm School of Economics, he is currently working for the broadcaster SVT after previous spells at TV4, ZTV and SR public radio.
Luuk has made himself famous, mainly for his talents as an interviewer. After doing prank calls in the radio show Hassan during the early nineties, Luuk started hosting the ZTV-talk show Knesset, where his abilities as a talk show host became obvious. Transferred to Swedish publicly accessed channel TV4, and to a large degree inspired by Conan O'Brien, Luuk's breakthrough show Sen kv�ll med Luuk featured Luuk interviewing various celebrities of Swedish as well as international origin. Among others, Luuk interviewed John Cleese, Alanis Morissette and Madonna in the show. Luuk is remembered for rounding up every interview by challenging the interviewee in a staring contest.
Luuk hosted Melodifestivalen 2007, the Swedish national selection to the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The show is regarded the most popular TV show in Sweden, the final being watched by some four million Swedish viewers every year.
