The duo founded their company "Framgångsfabriken" (The Success Factory), which started in 2001 and takes credit for their media appearances.

Fredrik was born in Vänersborg, Västra Götalands län, Sweden but moved to Sundsvall as a young boy.

The first breakthrough came in 2002 with their hidden camera program Ursäkta röran (vi bygger om) (Pardon the mess (we're redecorating)) broadcast by TV4.

The concept involved Filip and Fredrik making fun of both famous and unknown people using a hidden camera and similar setups.

The jokes were of a rather unusual, sometimes experimental, nature and some viewers took offense, feeling that the pair were humiliating innocent people.

[6] Filip and Fredrik were after Ursäkta röran guests in the program Position X, also on TV4, where they showed Tommy Körberg's phone number on TV.

Later in 2003, now working for the Swedish broadcasting company Kanal 5, Filip and Fredrik made a comeback in the program series High Chaparall, which was a success.

In High Chaparall (not to be confused with the 1967 western TV-series The High Chaparral) Filip and Fredrik took a camera team to America, where they filmed a series of interviews with minor celebrities and has-beens such as Fabio Lanzoni, Pamela Anderson, Ron Jeremy, Tonya Harding, Uri Geller, and Gary Busey.

A typical episode features Filip and Fredrik visiting a celebrity at home in Los Angeles, asking them personal questions while taking a tour of their house, singing a song for them (often a Swedish song that has been translated into English), an outing to one of the star's favorite places to eat and a series of elaborate would-you-rather questions.

Some of their interview subjects seemed to become genuinely entertained with and endeared to the duo (Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe and his parents, Charlene Tilton of the TV series "Dallas" and her daughter) whereas the subjects of other episodes become increasingly more uncomfortable during their relentless onslaught of questions, games and songs (Lorenzo Lamas).

It was a countdown show where Filip and Fredrik listed their choices of the funniest moments in Swedish history.

The spring continued with more Ett herrans liv and season five of 100 höjdare, where they expanded their search for unique people to Denmark and Norway.

Ingvar Oldsberg host the show and each week a contender selected by the audience compete against Filip and Fredrik in 15 games spread across three programs.

[13] The first show featured Marilyn Manson and Jonas Gardell and confirmed future guests include television chef Tina Nordström, singer-songwriter Håkan Hellström, actor Mikael Persbrandt, as well as Joan Rivers and Martin Sheen.

Recurring segments include skits with personalities from 100 Höjdare and ‘Reverend Hammar’ of the Universal Life Church exercising his newly acquired licence to perform wedding ceremonies on couples flown in from Sweden.

The content of the first season existed mainly in a bunch of phone calls made by Filip and Fredrik to a number of Swedish celebrities as well as a few discussions and observations about current events and more.

The second and current season was launched in the fall of 2010 and this time without both the celebrity phone calls and the road trip element.

Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit performed a version of the theme song for the 72nd episode, released on February 9, 2012.

They announced that they've started a new production company called Nexiko together with Lars Beckung, who was program director at Kanal 5 until April 2012.

[3] Filip Hammar resides in Los Angeles with his fiancée, actress Agnes Lindström Bolmgren, and his two children Ilse and Tage.

Fredrik Wikingsson lives in Stockholm, Sweden with his wife Johanna Swanberg and their two daughters Pella and Joni.
