Longtime MTV news anchor Keijo Leppänen is returning to television this fall with a new entertainment program titled “Finland’s Dumbest Celebrity.” The show will be hosted alongside Niko Saarinen. Leppänen, 66, retired from MTV in 2024 after a distinguished career spanning over three decades as a news anchor. This new role marks a surprising shift for the veteran journalist, known for his serious news reporting. The program promises a lighter, more comedic format than his previous work. MTV has announced the show will premiere this autumn, signaling Leppänen’s unexpected return to the network. He has already shared his initial reaction to working with co-host Saarinen.
