Fredrik Lindström (born 27 June 1963 in Eskilstuna, Södermanland County) is a Swedish comedian, film director and presenter.
In the 2000s, Lindström became a household name in Sweden through his documentary series Värsta språket about the Swedish language at Sveriges Television.
Lindström has written several books that served as a basis for the series as well as historic linguistics in the Swedish language.
Lindström's first encounter with the Swedish audience was on the radio show Hassan, on which he made prank calls to random people pretending to be different imaginary people, often with some kind of subtle disturbance that made the conversation farcical.
Since 2010, he has taken Björn Hellberg's role as the referee,[2] in one of the most popular Television-Quizzes in Sweden ever,[3] På spåret, which largely is a contest in geography, but also includes history, linguistics, sports and various subjects.
