The Experience: Tapping into the true Viking spirit, CBS hosted guests to an elevated Nordic-inspired dining experience in celebration of the titles character Thorfinn from TV’s number one comedy GHOSTS. The experience took place onboard a vessel dressed in a Viking Spirit, where guests enjoyed a special meal infused with Norse flavors and tables-cape. Attendees cheered Thor with drinking horns, on National Mead Day as a nod to Viking culture.

About GHOSTS: GHOSTS is a single-camera comedy starring Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar as Samantha and Jay a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city respectively who throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast—only to find it’s inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. The departed souls are a close-knit eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Danielle Pinnock) a pompous 1700s militiaman (Brandon Scott Jones) a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Sheila Carrasco) an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Richie Moriarty) a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long) a slick ‘90s finance bro (Asher Grodman) a sarcastic and witty native from the 1500s (Román Zaragoza) and a society woman and wife of an 1800s robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (Rebecca Wisocky) to name a few. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home it’s nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.
