I can confirm that he spoke Swedish with no accent at all at the end.

[mrdeerhunter]

Old friend of mine! Mats from Norrköping, Sweden! That’s so strange it ended up in my flow 😂

[dorklyasmr]

God I remember this; I just about DIED when they actually found a swede; basically accidentally. It's funny to see how different people felt about cameras back then.

[robertyou]

As a Swede I approve of this Letterman clip. Looking for Swedes is always fun, we do it all the time here...

[indiefjant]

When he said “No, that’s if you’re from Denmark”, it was sealed and confirmed that he is indeed from Sweden. Non-Scandinavians just don’t know that stuff.

[jonhohensee]

You know Dave was disappointed that the Swede wasn't a beautiful woman.

[petersylven]

He says "what do ypu want me to say?" at the end.

[Mister.Meeseeks]

He even looks to have a snus, hes a swede for sure.

[ichtyophobia]

He even have the dialect from Norrköping :D. He sounds like ny relatives in Linköping 😅

[garreswe]

Not all Swedes are blonde women, I think he learned that now 🇸🇪

[giajensen]

They found a Swede and being from Sweden 🇸🇪 I can validate that all he is saying sounds correct so congratulations!

[slangen]

"What do you want me to say", he says at the end in swedish.

[Leatherfacet]

Well the giant snus he has in is a dead give away.

[ahakangard]

As a Swede I can corroborate that that was pure Swedish coming out of his mouth

[johncornell]

I still think she was Swedish. Thanks Dave!

[henriksvensson]

A better way to look for Swedes is to have a big sign in swedish.

[johanpersson]

If his perfect Swedish accent wouldn’t be such a dead giveaway, his giant ‘snusprilla’ under his lip would be enough. He’s more Swedish than me 😂

[Arnuuld]

We play this game once a month here in Sweden. Very hard game to beat! 😁

They went for people with the stereotypically swedish look, blond hair and blue eyes, but it was a dark haired dark eyed man who came through. God do I miss this era of Letterman.

ACTUAL NUMBER 8: His “holier-than-thou” attitude (you gotta freeze-frame it just before Number 5 appears)
