Biography
Bernt Nikolai Hulsker (born 9 September 1977) is a Norwegian former footballer and current pundit and TV presenter. He was born in Haag, The Netherlands, through a Dutch father, and hails from Vestnes, Norway.
As a footballer, Hulsker played for Norwegian clubs Vestnes Varfjell, Tomrefjord and Træff, before playing for the Tippeligaen clubs Molde, Vålerenga, Start and Stabæk. He has also played for the Swedish club AIK.
After retiring from football, he became a pundit at the Norwegian TV channel MAX, and has also worked at VGTV, with the podcast Foppall (later rebranded as Enkel servering). In 2019, he released his first ever song, titled "I skyggen", which featured Den nye Mads Hansen (eng. The New Mads Hansen) (who shares his name with fellow VGTV presenter Mads Hansen) He became the third VGTV presenter to release a hit song, after Mads Hansen with "Sommerkroppen" in 2018, and Erik Follestad with "Juletragedien" in late 2018. Hulsker's song debuted at number nine on the VG-lista, and was not as successful as Hansen and Follestad's songs which hit number one. In 2021, he participated in season 2 of the Norwegian military-themed reality show Kompani Lauritzen at TV 2, as well as presenting Fangene på fortet at Viaplay.
In 2022, his media career was almost tarnished after it was known that he called a bouncer the "N-word", after Hulsker allegedly was thrown out after performing the "Don't mention the war" scene from the Fawlty Towers episode The Germans (which some in media, and even the bouncer himself, erroneously described as a Nazi salute) during a incident at a delayed VGTV christmas party at the karaoke bar Syng mer in March that year. For the "N-word" incident, Hulsker received an 18-day suspended sentence and was fined 15,000 NOK in October the same year. In June 2023, he returned as a football pundit at Dagbladet.
