I kveld med YLVIS (Tonight with Ylvis) is a Norwegian talkshow hosted by Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker, with Calle Hellevang-Larsen as a permanent sidekick. During season 2 Calle was replaced by David Batra due to obligations he had made with his comedy group Raske Menn and their show on the rival channel TV2. Magnus Devold is also a permanent part of the show and often contributes with several segments per show.
The talkshow has several regular segments like "Hyss i Småland" (Pranks in Småland) where they do various pranks dressed as 19th century farmers, mimicking the style of Emil i Lönneberga, and "Kan dette brukes som vann-ski?" (Can this be used as waterskis?)
The first season of the show was produced by Funkerhauser Productions, a company owned by comedians Harald Eia and Bård Tufte Johansen, who also have a show on the same channel. In the spring of 2012 the Ylvis-brothers and their manager Jørgen Thue started the production company Concorde TV, which produced seasons 2, 3 and 4 of the show. The first 3 seasons of I kveld med Ylvis were taped at Riksscenen in Oslo with a live audience. Starting with season 4 the show is broadcast live from the Folketeatret in Oslo.
Season 1 of the talk show received good reviews and the premiere attracted 458 000 viewers., whilst the second series only attracted 341 000 viewers on the premiere. The third series set a record with 534 000 viewers, well helped by the success of The Fox
