In countless shows, he has "taken the pulse of the country," tested the boundaries of comedy and good taste, and decided who gets to laugh along and who gets to be laughed at – the latter being Boris, often enough. As a sidekick, consistently underwhelming sparring partner, and idiot on duty, Boris looks back on a unique career in the spotlight – but was it the one that led him to the vacant CEO position? Station boss Marianne, however, has entirely different plans: Falk Anders will be succeeded by influencer Sara Massoudi, with new reach and new target audiences.
