Hannu Karpo (born 5 March 1942) is a Finnish reporter who hosted his own show, Karpolla on asiaa,[1] from 1981 to 2007.

[2] Karpo's show ran for 26 years during which he received a number of death threats.

Karpo awarded many of his guests with a piece of smoked reindeer or an encased 100 mk (later €100) bill for speaking out.

[5] He has five different residences in Finland: Dalsbruk in the archipelago of Kimitoön, Pakila, Utsjoki, Vihtijärvi and Klaukkala.

[6] His distinctive appearance as a bearded man, with glasses with a furry hat (karvalakki) and a furry microphone with a frank and demanding voice has become a popular image of a hard-hitting reporter in Finland.
