Carl Johan De Geer is a Swedish artist, designer, writer, actor and filmmaker. He is unique. Art, film, photography, textile printing, books. An multi-artist who never ceases to develop, renew, surprise and calm. A film about Carl Johan holds many stories, from the advent of the fabulous Meyer-ateljéerna and the creation of the movies and TV series, which we will never see again in childhood depictions with the grandmother a Nazi and the mentally ill mother.

Author and tennis legend Björn Hellberg was promoted from contestant to permanent Oldsberg sidekick in 1995 after winning for four straight seasons. Famous gourmet, restaurant-owner, and former contestant Carl-Jan Grankvist sat in for Hellberg during the 2004 season. In 2009, after 21 years, Oldsberg left and Kristian Luuk took over as the host.
