Joakim Thåström

Born: March 20, 1957
in Stockholm
Sven Joakim Eriksson Thåström växte upp på Skebokvarnsvägen 209 i Högdalen i Stockholm. Han var med och skapade bandet Helt Sonika som bestod av Thåström, Thomas Svanljung, Lars Elffors, Lennart "Elton" Hellgren, Bosse Steinholtz och Lars Bremer. Helt Sonika spelade runtom Stockholm på ungdomsgårdar, klubbar, utomhusfestivaler mm. Lennart Eriksson (eller Fjodor som han kallades) bodde i Rågsved. De bildade tillsammans med Gunnar Ljungstedt ("Gurra") ett band som hette The Haters. The Haters bytte dock redan efter tre dagar namn till Ebba Grön, som härstammar från en poliskod med anknytning till den s.k. Operation Leo, där den tyske terroristen Norbert Kröcher planerade att kidnappa dåvarande invandrarministern Anna-Greta Leijon. "Ebba röd" var polisens kod för den operation som gick ut på att gripa Kröcher. Då gripandet var fullbordat ropades "ebba grön" ut i radion.

Thåström har en dotter från sitt första äktenskap vilket upplöstes 1998, och en son född 2000. I unga år hade han ett förhållande med skådespelaren Amanda Ooms. Paret återförenades efter flera år isär och är numera sambos.

Title: Skavlan
Character: Self - Guest
Released: January 16, 2009
Type: TV
Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway. Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."
