Nadia Hasnaoui

Nadia Hasnaoui (; born 10 June 1963) is a Moroccan-born Norwegian television presenter.

Biography Hasnaoui was born in Morocco to a Norwegian mother and Moroccan father. Her maternal grandfather was Nobel Prize–winning economist Ragnar Frisch. When she was four years old her parents divorced and she moved to Norway with her mother. In Oslo she attended a strict Catholic French kindergarten and then later a French school until fourth grade. She became a Norwegian citizen at the age of eighteen. In 1991 she married actor Kim Haugen.

During the 1980s she was a dancer, among other places at Den Nationale Scene. She was an employee of TV2 from 1993 to 2004, hosting shows such as God morgen, Norge and Jakten på det gode liv. In 2003 she was host of the television show Hasnaoui. Hasnaoui has said she was at first amused by the opportunity as it was much like a Norwegian child in Morocco having a show there called "Olsen". She also read out the Norwegian votes for the 2011 and 2012 contests.
