Anders Breinholt Biography: Wife, Net Worth, Radio Shows, Age, Ethnicity, YouTube, Religion, Awards

Anders Breinholt Nielsen is a Danish radio and TV host whose biggest leap into mainstream TV came as the face of Natholdet, the late-night clip-and-conversation show that ran for more than a decade with him as the anchor.

Before that, he had already built a strong reputation as one half of De Sorte Spejdere on DR’s P3, a partnership with Anders Lund Madsen that helped define a particular era of Danish radio satire.

Early Life and Education

Anders Breinholt Nielsen is now, at the age of 53, and he was born on 15 November 1972 in Ølstykke. His earliest professional experiences were built around local radio while he was still a teenager.

He took a DJ-related course at a youth school in his hometown that included a regular on-air slot, and soon after he worked at Radio Roskilde at around age 15–16.

During that period he left 10th grade to work full time in radio, a choice he has described as being accepted at home as long as he earned money.

He was educated as a Falck rescuer in 1996, completed service with the Danish Emergency Management Agency on Bornholm, and then worked in Greater Copenhagen as a rescuer through the 1990s.

Personal Life

Anders Breinholt is married to Line Køhlert Breinholt, who is also his manager. In early 2014, Danish media reported that the couple had married quietly, and that they had been together since the summer of 2012.

They have a daughter named Ellen. Anders is also a step father to Line’s two daughters from a previous relationship.

Career

Anders Breinholt’s career started professionally in radio as a teenager and built his early reputation through commercial stations before moving into Denmark’s broadcasting ecosystem.

His definitive radio era, for many listeners, is De Sorte Spejdere on DR’s P3, co-hosted with Anders Lund Madsen. The show’s format and tone turned the duo into a well-known pairing and laid groundwork for later collaboration in podcasts.

In 2009, he shifted into morning television as a host on Go’ Morgen Danmark, a move that exposed him to a wider audience and also the sharper scrutiny that comes with daily live TV.

In 2010, he launched Natholdet on TV 2, the project most closely tied to his name. The show’s core idea was straightforward: Breinholt and a rotating guest co-host reacted to clips from the day’s media and mixed them with recurring segments built for quick laughs and studio energy.

He remained the main host through 2021, after which TV 2 moved forward with a new host team.

He continued to front other TV formats alongside Natholdet. In 2014 he hosted the Friday talk show Breinholt & Venner.
