Eija’s theatrical connection

Eija asks the man if he knows any newsreaders or television presenters, which he says he does not. She then follows up by asking if the man knows anyone who has been on television, which he says he does. After a few more questions, Eija asks the man what movie or television series the person the man knows was on. The man replies that it was a television series in the 1980s that involved winged animals. Eija realises that the man is referring to Lapinlahden Linnut (‘Birds of Lapinlahti’, a comedy band which also made television shows under the same name), and declares that they must then both know Mikko Kivinen (one of the original vocalists, who also does a lot of theatre work). Eija takes 2 minutes and 15 seconds to identify a mutual acquaintance, and earns second place.
