But the criticism is DR’s underholdningschef, Jan Lagermand Lundme, far from agrees.
And to Ekstra Bladet he replies, now on to the criticism.
– How is it. There must be opinions. Of course you should always listen to criticism, but I have also learned, gradually, that if you let it on the social media go too much into, then you will rundforvirret, he says.

According to the underholdningschefen it is especially hard to hit all of the more humorous touches.
– Humor is a difficult thing to agree on. I think that if you ask random people, then there will be someone who thinks it is fun, and any that do not. It will always be with a sense of humor.
He does not agree with the criticism of the hosts, as several have highlighted were not good, professional or fun enough.
– I think the hosts were fantastic and good company, so I do not understand all that people write, that they were embarrassing and all this stuff, says Jan Lagermand Lundme.
He takes as also the criticisms with lofty calm.
– I take it quite quietly. I think it was a good show, he says, and continues:
– I think that everyone is experiencing in these times, that you write everything possible on the social media. I have tried to take those things 100 percent, and so forgotten, that there were a lot of others who were not on social media, and that there was also a lot of others who not just wrote their opinion there, and then found out that there were many different opinions than those who are just on the social media. I listen to them, but you must also use common sense, he says and stresses that he thinks that the level this year was exceptionally high and better than the last many years.
