He was one of the co-hosts alongside Gina Dirawi for the final of Melodifestivalen 2016.[6]

In 2016 he wrote and starred in a one-man autobiographical show, Mormor jag vet att du är i himlen, men har du tid en timme? ("Grandma, I know you're up in heaven, but do you have a minute?"), an ode to his deceased grandmother.[7] It was shown on SVT in 2019.[8]
