Profile of Kristopher Schau on Famous Like Me

Kristopher Hugh Martin Schau (b. August 12, 1970 in Oslo) is a Norwegian musician, TV host, comedian and song writer.

He is most famous for the radio shows XL and Karate, and the TV-series Team Antonsen and XLTV. He has also been part of several bands, among them Gartnerlosjen, Hurra Torpedo and The Cumshots. He is also the writer of the Norwegian underground comic Margarin.

Another of his projects was "Forfall" (en. decline), where Schau devoted an entire week to living as unhealthy as possible. He spent the entire week on display in an Oslo shop window. The project was also shown on TV and the internet for the entire week. He gained about 10 kg (22 lbs) and his cholesterol level skyrocketed during the project. He also nearly suffered a heatstroke when the temperature in the shop window display was significantly increased. The heat experiment was then aborted.

He has been criticized by the media several times. On January 24, 2004 he got the front-page headline in one of Norway's largest newspapers after he showed his penis during an episode of Team Antonsen: he apparently tried to find out whether dogs could tell the difference between a sausage and the male sex organ(it did not). During the Quartfestival summer 2004, a couple had sex during a Cumshots concert. This led to a lawsuit against Schau, the other band members and the couple who performed the sex stunt. Schau and his bandmate Ole Petter Andreassen were both fined 10 000 kroner (roughly US$ 1700) for their roles in the stunt.

In December 2003 Schau was voted Norway's Sexiest Man by the fashion magazine Elle.

In September 2004 he sold his soul to Thomas Numme, a Norwegian TV host, for 18 500 NOK.
