an official supervisor to be present at the actual draw event of a lottery game. Many shows had these prominently present, but Maailman ympäri was the only show where the interaction between the host and the supervisor went beyond a nominal "Hello" or "Good evening". Frangén proposed some crazy alternative way to handle the draw, which the supervisor refused. Frangén then offered a "compromise", which meant handling the draw as normal. This the supervisor accepted. In the last episode of the show, the supervisor in fact accepted Frangén's unorthodox idea. Frangén then chickened out and refused to put his own idea to action, instead doing the draw the same way he had always done. At the end of each episode, Frangén would always finish with these exact words: "Minä olen teidän matkaoppaanne Simo Frangén ja minä en lähde matkalle maailman ympäri. Minä lähden Tampereelle! Moi!" ("I am your travel guide Simo Frangén, and I am not going on a trip around the world. I am going to Tampere! Bye!"). The gag is that Tampere is Frangén's hometown and he is so strongly associated with it that explicitly pointing it out is redundant. Lottery game The show was accompanied by a lottery game with the same name in co-operation with Veikkaus. The object of the game, which was entirely a game of chance, was to guess the numbers of the countries chosen on the show. Notes Actor Mikko Kivinen sometimes stood in for Simo Frangén when he was on his summer holiday. Finnish game shows 2000 Finnish television series debuts 2004 Finnish television series endings
