Take it away! Jon Ola Sand, a Eurovision legend.
The man we all came to know and love as the "Big Boss" of Eurovision has stepped down after a decade of being the Competition’s Executive Supervisor.
Besides being famous for using the catchphrase “Take it away!” to announce the end of the voting process at the Grand Finale, Jon Ola successfully refreshed and modernised the show’s format.
In an interview for eurovision.tv, Jon Ola Sand said:
– “The past decade at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has been fantastic and exciting, but it will also be good to come home.”
– “I have been involved with the Eurovision Song Contest for over 20 years. First as Head of Delegation for Norway, then as Executive Producer in Oslo in 2010 and I have been privileged to have been the captain of the ship in Geneva for the past 9 years.”
