Linda gives Mark a special hug

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Linda sources a funnel and a banana, clearly intending on embarrassing Mark. She puts the funnel on his head and has him hold the banana, but looks unsure as to her plan. Mark tells her she has enough time to change her mind, and asks if she remembers receiving a special hug. Linda admits that one time when she had a bad stand-up show, comedian Uffe Holm hugged her and reassured her. Linda calls Uffe and asks him to say some nice things about Mark while she hugs him. Uffe’s words seem to genuinely touch Mark. Uffe says that Mark always makes him smile, that Mark is one of the kindest people he’s ever worked with, that Mark is one of the best stand-up comedians in Denmark, and that he’s one of the few men who looks good bald. In the studio, at Lasse’s insistence, Linda grudgingly admits that, strictly off camera, she agrees that Mark is one of the sweetest people she’s ever met. Lasse says he enjoyed seeing Linda actually open up and show emotion, and awards her second place.
