Nikolina Ristović, née Pišek (born 8 April 1976) is a Croatian television presenter and actress.
Pišek was born in Zagreb, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia. Her television career began in her mid twenties after graduating design from the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Architecture. She made a name for herself within Croatia by appearing on various frivolous entertainment, gossip, and lifestyle programmes on HRT, Croatian public broadcaster.
First, it was the show named Glamour Cafe, created by Siniša Svilan, that consisted of two co-hosts Pišek and Nina Skorup doing bits and interviews with a lot of gossip, innuendo, and overt sexuality. Somewhat provocative nature of the show combined with the duo of physically attractive young female hosts turned a lot of heads. When Glamour Cafe got taken off the air, Pišek landed on another HRT gossip entertainment programme called Shpitza, this time as co-host alongside Danijel Despot. Shpitza's main competition was similarly conceptualized Red Carpet programme on the rival Nova TV station.
By now a recognizable public personality in Croatia, Pišek hosted HRT Dora in March 2007, Croatian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. She started getting bit acting offers as well, which led to her appearance on Bitange i princeze series. Further cementing her local star status was her fall 2007 participation as contestant on the second season of Ples sa zvijezdama, Croatian version of Strictly Come Dancing, airing on HRT.
Shpitza somewhat ran out of steam and frequent changes at the male co-host position ensued. Despot got replaced by Mario Petreković, but he quickly gave way to Luka Bulić. However, the show started losing viewership rapidly and got taken off the air in late 2007. In early 2008 Pišek co-hosted a youth-oriented talk show Na domaćem terenu with Mirko Fodor, also on HRT.
