Sampo Marjomaa, known for his entertaining video compilations, has faced an unexpected dismissal from Nelonen, a Finnish television channel. However, this marks a new chapter for him as he transitions to Yle, where he will host a new series titled "Koti, uskonto ja Marjomaa" that delves into Finnish folklore and cultural heritage. The show promises to retain Marjomaa's humor while focusing on the rich traditions and stories from past generations, utilizing the archives of the Finnish Literature Society.

In the inaugural episode, Marjomaa will explore the concept of Finnish identity through the lens of a male figure from folk tales, presenting to the audience a local Robin Hood-like character named Sika-Kyösti. This legendary figure is infamous for robbing the rich to aid the poor and is depicted as a notorious villain who met his end at Raisio Church, shot by a sheriff with a silver bullet. Alongside such intriguing characters, Marjomaa also highlights historical figures, including J. V. Snellman, a significant Finnish nationalist and influential personality from the 19th century.

Marjomaa's connection to Snellman adds a personal touch to his storytelling, as he reveals that Snellman is his great-grandfather. This familial relationship reinforces the depth of the exploration of Finnish culture that Marjomaa intends to present in his new series, ensuring a blend of humor, history, and a sense of national pride as he engages viewers with tales that are rooted in the Finnish identity.
