Tore Holden (born 27 May 1946) is a Norwegian ice hockey referee and television personality.
[1] In 1993 he was headhunted by the television channel TV 2 to host the lottery game show BingoLotto, an import from Sweden where it had millions of viewers.
Holden was chosen for his popular and down-to-earth appeal, though he did not have any prior experience as a television host.
The Norwegian Federation of Organisations of Disabled People, which had cooperated with TV 2, saw little of its promised share of the lottery income.
Centered on the topic of travel, this was a family-themed show in which quiz teams consisted of one young, one adult, and one elderly member from the same family.
