Alt for Norge (All for Norway) TV show
The commercial TV channel TV-Norge has a reality show called "Alt for Norge" where a group of Americans with Norwegian heritage comes to Norway and compete, in a rather amusing fashion, to be the one to meet their Norwegian relatives.
Here is a pic of two of the Americans from this years season of the show.
The gentleman in the kilt is called Alf. He is a Åsatru priest, a real viking, and wears a kilt. He lives in East Opympia, Washington. Unfortunatly Alf had to leave the show just before the semi finales so he didn't get to meet his Norwegian family. Does anyone know him? Maybe he's a member on this forum?
Skål!

Well, if he isn't a member, he certainly should be!

I'm surprised that the title should be allowed given that it is the royal motto from Håken the Seventh onwards and appears on coins and stamps.

I would enjoy being on the show , just to get to meet my family over there
We left Norway in 1825 and no one has went back , I would like to go meet the Haukaas

Is there any way to watch Norwegian TV here in America ? I would watch this show
even though I would not be able to understand Norwegian lol

The phrase "Alt for Norge" is as you say the King of Norways royal motto, but it has been a common phrase in the Norwegian language since begining of Norwegian time. It has been frequently used in the military, in sport events and other occations. So I don't think the royal family will take offence.

I don't know anyone called Haukaas but the name is quite common in Norway.
I think you can watch it here: http://webtvny.tvnorge.no/ This is a online pay site. If you struggle to figure out how you create a user account or how to find the show just contact me and I help you.
You should apply to be a contestant in the next season. You are a perfect candidate.

Alt for Norge is one of the few TV shows I watch every week. I think it was cool to see Alf wearing a kilt in Norway,being into norse mythology and all.
