SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
Pitääkö olla huolissaan?
Should I Be Worried is a weekly comedy panel show to answer about the ordinary -and extraordinary- worries we all face in our daily lives. The viewers send the panel questions that keep them awake at night. Using e-mail, text messages, social media and a special dedicated phone line, people from all over the country have poured their hearts out to the panel. All of the worries are real, coming straight from the viewers. Some are age-old, but some so awkwardly personal that the panellists must reveal something about themselves as well.
Every week three panellists, and a special celebrity guest, try to answer to the given worries, usually with a big dose of humour. The panel consists of the wittiest and most sarcastic minds of the nation. And the weekly guests can vary from a pop star, to a well-known priest, to the former President of the country.
