Between 1963 and 1981, Skolmen was employed by the Norwegian state broadcasting company, NRK, where he most notably co-wrote and appeared in the show The Nor-Way to Broadcasting alongside Trond Kirkvaag.

He co-starred in the five Sällskapsresan films as the character Ole Bramserud, the Norwegian sidekick of main character Stig Helmer-Olsson who was played by Swedish actor Lasse Åberg. [8] In the 1980s, he also co-starred in the Swedish sketch comedy show Nöjesmassakern, which was broadcast on SVT. [9]
In 2007, Skolmen again collaborated with his former partner Trond Kirkvaag, when he starred in the sitcom Luftens helter, which was created shortly before Kirkvaag's death the same year. [10]
Skolmen received the Komiprisen honorary prize for lifetime achievement in 2009. [2]
