00:00This is where most of the commentators are tucked away in these little boxes.
00:11Let's take a peek inside. Here is Iceland and the commentator for Iceland is Gvedrun.
00:17Hello Gvedrun. Hello Sandra and hello Europe.
00:21I hear that 96% of the population in Iceland is watching the Eurovision Song Contest.
00:27That's crazy. Yeah, that is crazy. We love Eurovision.
00:30There's absolutely nobody on the streets right now except people that are running late for a party.
00:34And I heard on the news today that the chips and the snacks they're selling fast in the stores right now because we're preparing for Saturday.
00:42Wow, I love Iceland. I have to come to your country.
00:45Can I say hello to your audience? Because I prepared a little thing. Let me try.
00:50How was that? It was perfect. Wow. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye bye. Have a good show.
01:05So next door is Denmark and the commentator for Denmark is Ole. Hello Ole. Hello.
01:12This is such a lovely box you have here decorated with so many nice pictures. Can you tell me something about them?
01:18Do you know what? I love Eurovision and this is my greatest moments from the last 25 years as a super fan and as a commentator.
01:27Do you have any favorite picture in here? I have a lot. But one picture means a lot to me and that's the picture with me and Liz Asya.
01:36The first winner of Eurovision in 1956. Yes, the first Eurovision and the Swiss winner.
01:42Yeah, exactly. That's amazing. Shall we take a picture together? Yes, I would love it. You have to send it to me.
01:48Yeah. Great. Thank you very much Ole and have a great show.
01:53So here comes the box for the Swiss commentator, German speaking commentator.
01:58And this is the voice for the French speaking audience. This is Jean-Marc Richard and he's done this job for 34 years already.
02:08My gosh, I think no one has done this as long as you have. And this is your last Eurovision this year.
02:13Wow. What's your favorite memory of all this time? I have so many pictures in my head, but maybe Mill Street Town, 1993.
02:22The contest took place in the Equestrian Arena and we were so very close, the public, to the artists, to the horses too.
02:32But you know, Sandra, for me tonight is very emotional. For the first time and kind finally say,
02:40Bienvenue chez moi. Bienvenue en Suisse. Bienvenue à Baal. Bienvenue dans mon pays. Bienvenue pour le concours Eurovision de la chanson.
02:47C'est absolument génial. Félicitations encore une fois Jean-Marc Richard. And then I would say we go back to Hazel. Thank you so much Jean-Marc.
02:58Thank you so much.
