During four decades, 1972–2002, with interruptions in 1978–1979 and 1988–1990, Weise was the presenter of the SVT Christmas Eve broadcast throughout the day.[6] When he became 65 years old in 1995, Weise announced that he was about to quit his job as presenter on Christmas Eve, the announcement was met with large protests.[7] The protests led to additional seven years as presenter for Weise.[7] He also presented the nature show Ett med naturen and Minnenas television in SVT.[5]

In 2002, Weise released the music album Minnen, drömmar och lite till, containing thirteen songs he wrote himself.[8] He also presented the music show Svensktoppen at Sveriges Radio.[9] In 1982, Weise acted in the TV-series Skulden which was broadcast on SVT, there he acted against Gösta Ekman.[2]

In 2013, Weise won a Kristallen award in the honor category for his work in television.[2][12]
