Claus Pilgaard

For the series, he invites celebrities and other notable figures on several occasions to eat chili peppers with him.

Internationally, he is known for his collaborations with Sean Evans on his Hot Ones series on the First We Feast YouTube channel.

He has been a bandleader for several revues, as he has performed with Jette Torp and Finn Nørbygaard, on the show Musik & Fis.

He initially cultivated tomatoes, but he thought they smelt too much,[4] and as a result, he began to grow chili peppers.

In addition, he has special episodes where he, together with a well-known person, eats some of the world's strongest peppers.

Notable guests include Christine Antorini, Bubber, Jacob Bundsgaard, Hella Joof, Jøden, Preben Kristensen, Allan Simonsen, Jette Torp, Kristian Valen, and the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, where they played Tango Jalousie while they ate chili peppers.
