As did his co-workers on _Casper & Mandrilaftalen (1999)_, Frank Hvam, Lasse Rimmer and Lars Hjortshoj, Casper started out in stand-up comedy. His work in this business led to a deal with Danish TV-network DR, and Casper started doing a children's show called Hvaffor en hand (1991). After doing a couple of shows for the young Danish people, Casper hit the big time with quiz show _Husk lige tandborsten (1994)_, which he hosted, with help from Annette Toftgardm whom he later married. _Husk lige tandborsten (1994)_ had made Casper the darling of Danish television. A status which was jeopardized with Casper's follow-up: Safari (1996), which he made with his friend Lars Hjortshoj.
