Stephen Colbert took the opportunity to ask Skarsgård about Swedish Christmas traditions and got to taste three types of herring. Bill Skarsgård also introduced "Hej tomtegubbar" to the American TV viewers before the two of them took two shots together.
Bill Skarsgård, however, did not dare to translate the text.

Skarsgård also revealed that the Swedish Santa, often an older drunk relative, does not come through the chimney but knocks on the door. As a child, it was enough to make Bill Skarsgård scared.
I cried for two hours.
