During season 2, Calle was replaced by David Batra due to obligations he had made with his comedy group Raske Menn and their show on the rival channel TV2.
The show has several regular segments like "Hyss i Småland" (Pranks in Småland) where they do various pranks dressed as 19th century farmers, mimicking the style of Emil i Lönneberga, and "Kan dette brukes som vann-ski?"
In the spring of 2012 the Ylvis-brothers and their manager Jørgen Thue started the production company Concorde TV, which produced seasons 2, 3 and 4 of the show.
The first 3 seasons of I kveld med Ylvis were taped at Riksscenen in Oslo with a live audience.
The third series set a record with 534,000 viewers, well helped by the success of "The Fox".
