Bjorn is such a gentleman with a great sense of comedic timing too! I loved this skit!!

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

He feels very "Swedish". :)

[@kamran102]

He's a very funny guy .-)

[@mena94x3]

What a class act. He was such a gem! 😂😂😂😂🥰

[@TheHeartofAmsterdam]

Those answers were not his obviously. But it doesn't matter, he's a legend, him just being there is awesome

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Yea I learnt during the writers strike in 2007- 2008 in the U.S, just how much the writers actually do! All of it! During the strike Jay Leno and Ellen, etc. had no intro, no segments, no nothing! They writers probably wrote Michael's intro as well! Still love both Michael and Björn. Credit where credit due

[@michellejoyce4697]

I love that Bjorn has such a great sense of fun and is appreciative of the joy that ABBA music still brings people (even out of key). He was very generous with his comments.

[@ItsIdaho]

He had me in the first half of the first guy.

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Probably though out by writers, still think he's great though!

[@TheYummyMummyChannel]

I was actually in the audience for this show and it was magical and what a legend Bjorn is

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

So cool!😎👍 Swedish person here, thst would bee so cool! Never met any ABBA members, but I grew up with their music! Love ABBA!

These are soo cringe-worthy and loads of fun to watch! The karaoke guests were such good sports! So nice that they get to go to the ABBA show now!

[@alisambrano]

So Bjorn doesn't have a mean bone in his body? Because he was so sweet to all those singers.

[@floatingsara]

I think when you reach THAT level, if you meet a person who still sings your song you really cannot be mean to them. Unless you are an ass**** of course.

[@homemail9653]

@@floatingsara ideally thats true but then he probably has been shown these and his responses are pre thought-out.

[@Poetic_Justice1962]

@@homemail9653 Yes, they even pre thought out the amount of breathing, smiling and blinking. Bjorn was contractually obliged to exactly follow the pre though out second by second script, or else he wouldn't be paid his fee.

Agnetha Bjorn Benny and Annafrid (Frida) ABBA are worth £800 Million each due to the songs and the Mamma Mia movies i wouldnt think he was to worried about some payment from the BBC .All four are lovely down to earth people with hearts of Gold Love them all her especially Agnetha since the age of 10 I'm beyond ecstatic that back love both songs especially Dont shut me down just fantastic pure ABBA

I used to work as a Karaoke host. This video almost gave me PTSD. I did love working as a host, I don't really care whether people can sing or not, it's all about the emotion, as we say in Finland "kovaa ja korkealta" (loud and high).

So refreshing! Such silliness and simple laughter amongst this insane world!! Thanks!

[@GoodJuju.8D]

Luke was fabulous, my fav! But they were all great for being able to laugh at themselves, and share it with others. No better gift than that. ❤️

[@4seeableTV]

He looked like a cross between a chubby cherub and Ricky Gervais, and I like how he held his pinkie finger while singing, just as a little kid would. 12:33

[@alexorpin9893]

I nearly spat out my tea at Luke’s ‘yeah!!’

[@theresenydahl9531]

People are so fun and lovely and Björn Ulvaeus is a great sport😁 Long live ABBA!❤

[@lizzy9975]

This is the magic of Abba! Back then and now they have remained loyal and humble to their fans. Many modern day movie stars and mediocre bands would do well to emulate their humility. Because like the classical music composers before them, Bach. Mozart and Beethoven later greats such as Freddie Mercury/Queen, their music will be sung and played for as long as the sun and moon continue to orbit the earth! Even today, their music sparks joy to my soul.
