Carl Martin Timell (born 13 November 1957) is a Swedish television presenter.
He started his career as a television host on SVT in the 1980s, hosting several entertainment and children's programs. In 1996 he moved to TV4 where he worked as one of the channel's main profiles, as a host for multiple television programs. He is best known for hosting Äntligen hemma, one of the most successful and long-running Swedish Do it yourself-shows, since 1997.
In October 2017 all of Timell's shows on TV4 were cancelled after the hashtag #MeToo had been used by a few women to point out Timell's sexual and mental abuse of them.[1] He was also suspended from TV4.[2]
Timell is married and has two children. He is the brother of Anders Timell, a Swedish restaurant manager and radio host.[3]
