Uutisvuoto

Uutisvuoto

"Uutisvuoto" (Finnish for "newsleak" - the pun works equally in both languages) is the Finnish version of the popular British television quiz show "Have I Got News For You". Going out on Saturday nights on Yleisradio TV1 since 1998, the show receives very high viewing figures.

The host of "Uutisvuoto" is journalist Peter Nyman and the team captains are novelist Jari Tervo and comedian Stan Saanila. Besides the two captains each team includes one guest panelist.

The original colleague to captain Tervo was poet Tommy Tabermann. In spring 2007, he became candidate for Finland's parliament, which made him not allowed to stay in the show. In spring 2007 Uutisvuoto had many guest captains instead of Tabermann. Since autumn 2007, Stan Saanila was chosen as a new permanent captain. Tabermann was elected to the Finnish parliament.

"Uutisvuoto" mainly follows the same format as "Have I Got News For You". The guests are usually celebrities, and frequently politicians. In the last two presidential elections, both of the second-round candidates appeared as guests: to-be-president Tarja Halonen and Esko Aho in 2000, and president Halonen and Sauli Niinistö in 2006. To date, winning the show has correlated with winning the election contest itself. In 2006 the "presidential show" broke all viewing records when it was watched by 1.4 million viewers (in a country of 5.2 million).

The show is so popular in Finland that it was even parodied in the Aku Ankka comic book as "Uutiskuono" (news nose).

"Haluatteko lukea hyvän vitsin jonka kuulin äsken Yleisradion kahvilassa?" ("Do you want to read a good joke which I just heard in the Yleisradio network's café?") (ISBN 951-0-29690-2) is Peter Nyman's Uutisvuoto joke book. The book's name is a reference to Nyman's way of telling jokes. He opens with the book's name, then, ignoring all answers, continues: "Ei se mitään, kerron sen silti." ("Doesn't matter, I'll tell it anyway.")
