Ex-prime minister set to host yakker

World Brief

Former Swedish prime minister and U.N. special envoy to the Balkans Carl Bildt will host yakker "Dinner With Bildt" on Swedish channel TV8.

Bildt told Daily Variety he had been approached previously to do political programs but found the dinner concept "intriguing and, after all," he added, "one does have to eat."

Show will kick off in May on the channel, part of Viasat, the broadcasting arm of the Modern Times Group.
