The show consisted of four well-known comedians: Atle Antonsen, Harald Eia, Bård Tufte Johansen and Kristopher Schau performing various sketches.

The show typically made fun of spoken Nynorsk and Sami, as well as regional dialects from all over Norway—most commonly from Northern Norway and the cities of Bergen and Trondheim.

Team Antonsen had an average viewer-rating of over 700 000 viewers, a high figure for a late-night TV show in a country with 4.6 million people.

The comedians originally only planned one showing, but when tickets sold out they decided on performing one more, called Team Antonsen Live: One More Night Only.

Antonsen, Schau, Tufte Johansen and Eia have performed together and with others in various configurations both before and after Team Antonsen, including the TV shows Midt i smørøyet, Lille lørdag, Åpen post, Storbynatt, Hjernevask, Tre brødre som ikke er brødre, Uti vår hage 1 and 2 and radio shows Verdensherredømme and Kommisjonen (on Kanal 24) / Misjonen (on P4).
