  • Fredrik Lindström (born 27 June 1963 in Eskilstuna, Södermanland County) is a Swedish linguist, comedian, film director and presenter.He played drums for the heavy metal band CRYSTAL PRIDE in the early 1980s. In the 2000s, Lindström became a household name in Sweden through his documentary series Värsta språket about the Swedish language at Sveriges Television.
  • The series achieved top ratings because of Lindström's personable and entertaining approach to the information presented to viewers.
  • Lindström has written several books that served as a basis for the series as well as historic linguistics in the Swedish language.
  • They have the same kind of approach, mixing informality with information derived from the author's linguistics background. Lindström's first encounter with the Swedish audience was on the radio show Hassan, on which he made prank calls to random people pretending to be different imaginary people, often with some kind of subtle disturbance that made the conversation farcical.
  • The show aired on P3 for several seasons in the 1990s. Since 2010, he has taken Björn Hellberg's role as the referee, in one of the most popular Television-Quizzes in Sweden ever, På spåret, which largely is a contest in geography, but also includes history, linguistics, sports and various subjects.
  • A few years later, after various smaller appearances as a stand-up comedian, he directed two Swedish featured films in the comedy/drama genre; these featured well-known Swedish actors such as Mikael Persbrandt and Magnus Härenstam.
