'''Carolin Kebekus''' (born 9 May 1980 in [[Bergisch Gladbach]]) is a German comedian and actress.

== Life ==
Carolin Kebekus grew up as daughter of a social education worker and a banker in Köln-Ostheim. Her younger Brother David Kebe is also a comedian.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ksta.de/koeln/interview-mit-david-kebe-wie-es-ist--als-bruder-von-carolin-kebekus-comedian-zu-sein-31552502|title=Interview mit David Kebe: Wie es ist, als Bruder von Carolin Kebekus Comedian zu sein|last=Hinz|first=Ingo|date=2018-11-10|website=Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger|language=de-DE|access-date=2019-08-09}}</ref> She started her career as an intern at ''Freitag Nacht News'', a weekly comedy show. One of the co-producers of the show, [[Hugo Egon Balder]], saw her talent in acting and arranged for her to take acting classes parallel to her internship.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/prominente/article133496651/Ich-kann-meine-Penisse-an-einer-Hand-abzaehlen.html|title=Carolin Kebekus: "Ich kann meine Penisse an einer Hand abzählen"|last=Hildebrandt|first=Antje|date=2014-10-21|work=Welt|access-date=2019-08-09}}</ref> In 2002, she did an internship at [[1LIVE|1 Live]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://presse.wdr.de/plounge/radio/1live/2015/11/20151120_1live_krone.html|title=Die Krönung zur Königin - Carolin Kebekus bekommt die 1LIVE Comedy-Krone 2015 - Presselounge - WDR|last=WDR|date=2015-11-20|website=presse.wdr.de|language=de|access-date=2019-08-09}}</ref>

Her parodies of the frontsinger [[Bill Kaulitz]] of the band [[Tokio Hotel]] in the ''Freitag Nacht News'' were the catalysator for her breakthrough. However, in 2006 she also faced big backlash from the fan-community of Tokio Hotel and received hateful messages and threats.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060523003940/http://bz.berlin1.de/aktuell/boulevard/060429/tokio.html|title=Tokio- Hotel- Fans bedrohen RTL-Moderatorin - Carolin Kebekus von "Freitag Nacht News" kriegt täglich Haßmails|date=2006-05-23|website=web.archive.org|access-date=2019-08-09}}</ref> From September 2006 until the show was cancelled in December 2006, Kebekus was one of the hosts of ''Freitag Nacht News'' together with [[Ingo Appelt (comedian)|Ingo Appelt]] and others.

'''Elmar Hörig''', (born 15 June 1949) is a [[Germany|German]] radio and television presenter.

==Life==
Hörig was born in [[Baden-Baden]], Germany. He studied Anglistics and PE. Until 1986, he worked as a teacher at the home school Lender in Sasbach amongst other things. From 1980 to 1999 he was a SWF3-presenter and on its successor station SWR3. He was known for his flippant humour, especially in the Elmi radio show, and for his own music compilation. At the same time he was listened to in and around [[Berlin]] with his broadcasts, radio puzzle, later renamed the radio-flip, at RIAS 2 and its successor rs2 and then with "''All Bananas''" ("''Alles Banane''") on Radio Fritz, where he often used elements, structures and ideas from his previous SWF3 broadcasts which he took over unchanged.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.matthias-kehle.de/leckerlis/der-sonntag-bei-elmar-hoerig.php |title=Biography |access-date=2011-12-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426065243/http://www.matthias-kehle.de/leckerlis/der-sonntag-bei-elmar-hoerig.php |archive-date=2012-04-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1999 his employment was terminated by the SWR because of jokes about the German federal railway carrier [[Deutsche Bundesbahn]] offering discounts for homosexual couples, that were interpreted as being homophobic. One such joke was "Warm weeks at the railway; they won't have to heat the trains from now on!" ("warm" has the connotation of "homosexual" in German), another was "So that's why they're asking you to ''cue from the rear'' at the ticket counter".<ref>[http://rhein-zeitung.de/on/99/03/22/topnews/hoerig.html Zeitungsartikel zu Hörigs Entlassung bei SWR]</ref>

After leaving [[SWR3]] Hörig was hired as a presenter in order to host his own show on Rockland Radio. Since 2004, he presented his show on Radio Regenbogen under its old name, with which he was successful in SWF3. The "new" Elmi radio show was first broadcast weekdays and since May 2006 every Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. In addition, he hosted the show "Dinner for Elmi" Thursdays from 7 to 10 p.m. The collaboration with Radio Regenbogen was terminated in early April 2007.<ref>[http://radioszene.de/news/Elmis_Rede_300807.htm Elmar Hörig: "Die Renaissance des Wortes"]</ref>

==Education==
Ruf attended high school at Rhein-Wied-Gymnasium in [[Neuwied]] in northern [[Rhineland-Palatinate]], in [[Germany]].

==Career==
===Writing===
Ruf worked for one year at the German newspaper ''Rhein-Zeitung''. He also wrote scripts for the German children's television program ''Clubhouse''.

He worked as a [[columnist]] for publications including music magazine ''Intro'', the weekly magazine ''[[Die Zeit]]'' and ''[[Maxim magazine|Maxim]]''.

===Television===
At 21 Ruf was cast by [[ZDF]] as the presenter of the video game show ''X Base''. Afterwards he became the presenter of his own call-in show, ''Niels' Calls'', on [[Deutsches Sportfernsehen|DSF]]. The series was cancelled after nine episodes; Ruf later stated the cancellation was "because of [[blasphemy]]". He then worked as a freelance employee for [[Focus TV]] while pursuing acting opportunities.

Ruf was cast by German music television station [[VIVA Germany|Viva II]] in 1998 for the TV show ''Kamikaze'', which he hosted and produced. His provocative monologues and announcements were characterised as "rabble-rousing". He earned a reputation as a "sex piglet" and "scandal-facilitator".<ref name="SP">[https://www.welt.de/fernsehen/article790077/Kerner-ist-die-groesste-Fernseh-Sau.html "Kerner is the biggest TV pig"]</ref>

In 2002, Ruf started a [[hidden camera]] show, ''Dumm Erwischt'', in which people on the street had tricks played on them. Six episodes aired.<ref name="DE">[https://www.wunschliste.de/serie/dumm-erwischt Dumm erwischt]</ref> In October 2006, Ruf hosted ''Die Niels Ruf Show'' on [[Sat.1]]'s comedy channel. After criticism for low ratings, Ruf left Sat1 and produced the internet-exclusive show ''Looki Looki''. [[Deutsche Telekom]] cancelled the project in May 2011.

In 2007, Ruf played divorce attorney Simon C. Herzog in the sitcom ''Herzog''. The series was cancelled due to poor ratings after three episodes. In 2008, the ''Niels-Ruf-Show'' ran on Sat1., but was cancelled early the same year due to bad ratings. He starred in a [[mockumentary]] web series ''Josef Gyrls - Daughter of Freedom''.

Ruf appeared in the German version of ''[[Hell's Kitchen]]'' in the spring of 2014, but had to leave in the fifth episode due to an injury.<ref name="HK">[https://www.ok-magazin.de/entertainment/tv/26831/hell-s-kitchen-niels-ruf-schneidet-sich-fingerkuppe-ab- Hell's Kitchen - Niels Ruf schneidet sich Fingerkuppe ab!]</ref> In March 2016, Ruf appeared in the ninth season of the German live dance show ''Let's Dance''; he dropped out in the second round.<ref name="LD">[https://www.ok-magazin.de/specials/lets-dance/zweite-lets-dance-show-niels-ruf-tanzt-sich-ins-aus-39984.html Second "Let's Dance" show: Niels Ruf dances off]</ref>

===Films===
Ruf appeared in the films ''Charley's Tante'' (1996), ''Und alles wegen Mama'' (1998) and ''Wie die Karnickel'' (2002).

In December 2001, Universal Mercury released a DVD titled ''Niels Ruf - Pest of Kamikaze 1998–2001'', with excerpts and previously unpublished scenes from his ''Kamikaze'' program.

===Music===
In 2000, Ruf and German [[Disc jockey|DJ]] [[WestBam]] recorded the song ''Computerstaat von Abwärts'' for the compilation ''Pop 2000''.

==Personal life==
Ruf briefly dated German actress and comedian [[Anke Engelke]] in 2000.

In June 2001, Ruf came under attack by the public when a report circulated alleging that he had made insensitive jokes about a colleague's [[skin cancer]] diagnosis. This led to his firing from the VIVA network.<ref name="SK">[http://www.laut.de/News/Niels-Ruf-Viva-wirft-Kamikaze-Moderator-raus-15-06-2001-559 Viva throws Kamikaze moderator out]</ref> Ruf denied the allegations and threatened to sue for libel.<ref name="AL">[https://www.welt.de/print-welt/article455897/Niels-Rufs-Zukunft-bei-Viva-weiter-ungewiss.html Niels Ruf's future at Viva remains uncertain]</ref>

After making an insensitive tweet about German jazz/pop musician [[Roger Cicero]]'s death in March 2016, Ruf was heavily criticized in the media. The incident caused his management team to part ways with him.<ref name="RC">[https://www.yahoo.com/news/niels-ruf-%C3%A4rger-wegen-tweets-zu-roger-cicero-145857136.html Niels Ruf: Ärger wegen Tweets zu Roger Cicero]</ref>

Thomas Koschwitz

Tipicaoskatena:

'''Thomas Koschwitz''' (born April 6, 1956 in [[Heidelberg]], [[West Germany]]) is a German radio and television host, and a book author since 2002. Despite many television engagements, he has stayed active with radio. He is known as a pioneer of the German radio landscape and is a developer and protagonist of many innovative formats and shows. He has not always had a lucky hand with the selection of his productions, yet they never display a lack professionalism, quality, or reliability.<ref name="hamster">[http://www.taz.de/1/archiv/archiv/?dig=2007/02/26/a0166 "taz" 2007: ''„Irrsinn, Herr Koschwitz?“''. Interview vom 26. Februar 2007]</ref> Throughout the course of his career, Koschwitz has worked with many German and international stars and developed, owing to his journalistic skills, into a well-known talk show host, entertainer, and presenter.

== Life ==

Koschwitz began his career in 1975 at the age of 19 as the youngest radio news announcer who was ever employed at the [[Hessischer Rundfunk]]. He very quickly obtained his own shows such as ''Pop auf Wunsch'' (''English: Pop on demand'') and ''Drugstore 1422'' with the [[Saarländischer Rundfunk]]. During his studies of [[History of Germany|German history]] and [[Culture of Germany|culture]], [[political science]], and [[sociology]] between 1975 and 1980 in the [[Upper Hesse|Upper-Hessian]] town of [[Marburg]] at the [[Lahn]], he developed into one of the most prominent announcers and hosts of the [[Hr3]], alongside already established personalities like Hanns Verres and Werner Reinke. Koschwitz’s style and voice had good recognition and made formats like ''Pop und Weck'' (''English: Pop and Weck''), ''Mittagsdiscotheke'' (''English: Afternoon Discotheque''), and ''Pop mit Gästen'' (''English: Pop with Guests'') into popular and successful shows. His most successful production was ''Kuschelrock'', which Koschwitz developed and hosted in the late 1980s.

In the mid-1980s, Koschwitz started his first attempts at television hosting with, among others, a show in and around the Frankfurt Airport. This followed engagements with the private station SAT1 in ''Frühstücksfernsehen'' (''English: Breakfast Television'').<ref>[http://www.dwdl.de/nachrichten/1774/koschwitz_geht_zum_sat1frhstcksfernsehen/ DWDL Medienmagazin]</ref> As a vacation replacement, he took over hosting of the RTL Nachtshow (English: RTL Night Show) with great success in 1994 during the summer break of Gottschalk Late Night. However, this ended in 1995 with the beginning of [[Die Harald Schmidt Show]] with the competing broadcaster [[Sat.1]], with which Koschwitz hosted the animal show ''Hamster TV'' a year later. The exaggerated production was met with ridicule and criticism everywhere, and Koschwitz, according to his own statements, later regretted his involvement as host, although it was still due to him that the show reached a target audience market share of 14.7% in the end.<ref name="quotenmeter hamster">[http://www.quotenmeter.de/n/65562/der-fernsehfriedhof-wenn-der-hamster-wirklich-bohnert Quotenmeter: ''Der Fernsehfriedhof: Wenn der Hamster wirklich bohnert...'']</ref>

In addition, Koschwitz had further television engagements as talk show host and performer with, among others, the news show [[N24 (Germany)|N24]] with the successful late-night talk format ''Koschwitz'', which was broadcast from 2000 until December 2002, or in the [[Tatort]] (''English'': Crime Scene) episode ''Zielscheibe'' (''English: Target''), in which he played a cynical television producer in 2001.

On October 4, 2002, he suffered a stroke while filming. Afterwards, he wrote a book about this event and its aftereffects.<ref>Thomas Koschwitz: ''Was macht der Schwindel? – Mein Leben nach dem Schlaganfall''. Aqua Verlag, 2003. {{ISBN|978-3980677844}}</ref> After his recovery, he accepted engagements once again with Kabel 1 and SAT1 TV in 2003 and 2004.

In 2004, Koschwitz again began to focus his activities on the radio. He hosted the show ''Koschwitz zum Wochenende'' (''English: Koschwitz on the Weekend'') with the radio stations Berliner Rundfunk 91.4, harmony.fm, and [[Klassik Radio]]. This show is still broadcasting today on Radio Brocken and Hitradio RTL Sachsen. Koschwitz found a lot of attention shortly before the [[German federal election, 2005|2005 German federal elections]] when he hosted “Radio-Gipfel” (''English'': “Radio Summit”) with Chancellor [[Gerhard Schröder]] and the candidate [[Angela Merkel]], which was broadcast almost simultaneously in full length by the 45 most important radio stations in Germany. Some 15 million listeners could thereby follow as Koschwitz questioned the chancellor and challenger and delivered an impressive example of professional hosting.<ref>[http://www.radiozentrale.de/print/archiv/archiv-events/aktionen-2005-2011/kanzler-gegen-kandidatin/ Archiv der ''Radiozentrale'']</ref><ref>[https://www.handelsblatt.com/meinung/kommentare/radiogipfel-kuschelrock-mit-kanzler-gerd/2550186.html Handelsblatt.de: ''Radiogipfel – Kuschelrock mit Kanzler Gerd'']</ref><ref>[http://www.genios.de/fachzeitschriften/artikel/HOR/20050915/auftritt-der-woche-harte-fragen-in-/090515015.html HORIZONT – Zeitung für Marketing, Werbung und Medien vom 15. September 2005, S. 2: ''Harte Fragen in weichen Salonmöbeln – Radiozentrale organisiert den ersten Radio-Gipfel von Kanzler und Kandidatin im Privatfunk / 45 Stationen stellen ihr Programm um'']</ref>

From August 2006 until April 2010, he hosted the morning show ''Koschwitz am Morgen'' (''English: Koschwitz in the Morning'') workdays from 6AM-10AM for the Berliner Rundfunk 91.4; towards the end of the run of the show, he hosted it together with his son Tim. In addition, he could be heard each Friday from 7PM-10PM on the show ''Koschwitz Classic Hits''.

Since 2011, he has hosted his own live show, ''Koschwitz am Nachmittag'' (''English: Koschwitz in the Afternoon''), for the radio station Radio Brocken along with [[104.6 RTL]] and Hitradio RTL Sachsen.<ref>[http://www.radioszene.de/20430/thomas-koschwitz-nun-auch-bei-radio-brocken-und-hitradio-rtl.html Radio Brocken: ''Koschwitz moderiert aus dem Berliner Studio gleichzeitig eine Sendung'']</ref> Moreover, he is a backup host for ''[[Arno und die Morgencrew]]''. Furthermore, he produces the show ''Koschwitz zum Wochenende'' on Saturdays on Hitradio RTL Sachsen and Radio Brocken, as well as Sundays on Antenne Pfalz, Antenne Landau, and Antenne Koblenz.

Like many colleagues, Koschwitz is active as a host and entertainer for events and galas of different occasions and clientele.

== Personal life ==
Koschwitz married in 1981 in Marburg, however the marriage did not last long. He has a son, Tim Koschwitz, who is also active as a radio host.

Leo Kirch

2020-02-20T20:34:39Z

Tipicaoskatena:

'''Leo Kirch''' (21 October 1926 – 14 July 2011)<ref name=spiegel110714/> was a [[Germany|German]] [[Mass media|media]] [[entrepreneur]] who founded the [[Kirch Group]].

==Life==
Kirch was born in [[Volkach]], [[Bavaria]], but shortly afterward his family moved to the nearby town of [[Würzburg]]. After completing high school, he studied [[marketing]] and [[management]] as well as [[mathematics]] at the [[University of Munich]], graduating in 1952. It was during this time that he gained an interest in [[electronic media]].

Borrowing money from his wife's family, he purchased exclusive German rights for the [[Italy|Italian]] movie ''[[La strada]]'' in 1960.<ref name=TheGuardian>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/jul/15/leo-kirch-obituary|title=Leo Kirch obituary|author=Dan van der Vat|authorlink = Dan van der Vat|work=the Guardian}}</ref> As his company rose to become one of the most important private media companies in the then [[West Germany]], the country's second public broadcaster, [[ZDF]], came to depend on it heavily for films and other programs, partly as a result of companies that appeared to be competing actually being owned by Kirch. This situation remained for many decades, until the launch of commercial television in 1984. Kirch was the owner of the first private channel, [[Sat.1]] and withdrew his series from ZDF. {{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

In 1985 he purchased a stake in the leading tabloid ''[[Bild]]'' after the death of former owner [[Axel Springer]]. During the 1990s he set up the subscription television service [[Premiere (pay television network)|Premiere]] and became a key player in sports broadcasting rights, paying massive amounts for the rights to the German [[Bundesliga]], eventually to the point where even players of moderate ability could earn multi-million [[Deutsche mark|mark]] salaries. This was consistent with trends happening across much of [[Europe]] at the same time. In addition, in 1996 he purchased the rights to the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]] and [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]s for some [[Euro|€]]1.9 billion<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/1916490.stm|title=Kirch declares itself insolvent|work=bbc.co.uk}}</ref> and purchased the rights to [[Formula One]] for €1.5 billion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/1912978.stm|title=Media giant falls back to earth|work=bbc.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/finance-obituaries/8638699/Leo-Kirch.html | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph | title=Leo Kirch | date=14 July 2011}}</ref>

Even during this decade there were reports of the group being on the edge of insolvency. His large investments in sports broadcasting rights and in pay television were major reasons. In other countries of Europe [[pay television]] could be operated profitably, because there were few freely receivable channels. Many programs also aired on Premiere at the same time that they aired on [[terrestrial television]]. This resulted in an investment of some €3 billion for only 2.4 million subscribers. Combined with the fact that many of the packages were more expensive than similar packages available, the decoder was easy to crack, resulting in large amounts of piracy. In 2002 these difficulties came to a head and [[KirchMedia]] declared itself insolvent on April 8. Kirch himself withdrew itself from the enterprise, but kept up participation in the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] arms on his business, transferring sports broadcasting rights to the subsidiary. The insolvency represents the largest insolvency of an enterprise in German postwar history. The next month Kirch sued [[Deutsche Bank]] for €100m, claiming that they had questioned the status of the group and disclosed confidential business information in the process. {{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

==Kirch and Kohl==
Leo Kirch and former [[Chancellor of Germany (Federal Republic)|Chancellor of Germany]] [[Helmut Kohl]] were on friendly terms for decades. Kirch was always accused of preferential coverage and advertising. Kohl arranged the creation of commercial television as one of his first official acts as Chancellor in 1982; this allowed Kirch to own a TV station and sports broadcasting rights. During the 1999 [[1999 CDU contributions scandal|CDU contributions scandal]], it was revealed that Kirch had donated six million [[Deutsche Marks|DM]] to the CDU during Helmut Kohl's tenure as chancellor. In addition, Kohl, along with various other CDU/CSU politicians, was revealed to be an adviser to the firm during the insolvency process. {{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

==Kirch and Deutsche Bank==

Kirch was identified by the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' to be a target of [[Deutsche Bank]]'s spying scandal.<ref name=WSJ>{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124925060899599929|title=Bank Spy Scandal Widens|author=David Crawford and Matthew Karnitschnig|date=4 August 2009|work=WSJ}}</ref> Moreover, according to the ''WSJ'', the lawfirm that was representing Kirch was the target, and perhaps victim of, an effort to infiltrate a "[[mole (espionage)|mole]]" into the firm in furtherance of the Bank's spying.<ref name=WSJ /> Kirch sued Deutsche Bank after Rolf E. Breuer, chief executive at the time, appeared on Bloomberg Television in 2002 and commented on the Kirch Group's creditworthiness, saying that the financial sector was unwilling to lend to the company (the Kirch Group was a client of the Bank at the time). Kirch asserted that the Bank had breached German confidentiality laws and tried to damage his company's reputation, blaming the Bank for the Kirch Group's collapse.<ref name=NYTimes>https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/02/20/deutsche-bank-to-pay-1-06-billion-to-settle-long-running-litigation/?_r=0</ref> After decades of litigation, Deutsche Bank announced in 2014 that it would pay Kirch's heirs more than €775 million ($1.06 billion) in a legal settlement, although it denies the allegations contended by Kirch.<ref name=NYTimes/>

==Death==
Kirch suffered from diabetes and a heart condition, becoming partially blind as a result. He died in [[Munich]], aged 84.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-media-kirch-idUSTRE76D1UW20110714|title=German media mogul Leo Kirch dies at age 84|date=2011-07-14|work=Reuters|access-date=2019-02-25|language=en}}</ref>

==Family==
Kirch had been married since 1954 to Ruth Kirch (née Wiegand). The two had one son, Thomas.<ref name=TheGuardian/>, and a son from a previous relationship, Peter. Peter Kirch had one son Kristoffer Kirch, born on October 31.1987 in Hamburg who now resides in Los Angeles CA with Business ventures on his own.

'''Iris Radisch''' (born 2 July 1959) is a [[Germany|German]] [[literature]]-journalist. Since 1990 she has written for the mass-circulation [[weekly newspaper]], [[Die Zeit]]. More recently she has come to wider prominence through her television work.<ref name=IRlautLitTip>{{cite web|url=http://www.literaturtipps.de/autor/kurzbeschreibung/radisch.html|title=Iris Radisch| work="Literaturtipps"|publisher=Schmellenkamp Communications, Urbar|accessdate=27 April 2018}}</ref><ref name=IRlautLuK>{{cite web| url=http://www.literaturundkunst.net/iris-radisch/|title=Iris Radisch|volume=71|date=December 2013|publisher=Literatur & Kunst, Zürich|accessdate=27 April 2018}}</ref>

== Biography ==
Iris Radisch was born in [[West Berlin]] (as it was known at that time). She attended university at [[Goethe University Frankfurt|Frankfurt]] and [[University of Tübingen|Tübingen]], studying [[German studies|Germanistics]], [[Romance studies]] and [[Philosophy]]. She then moved into journalism, working as a literary editor with the [[Frankfurter Rundschau]], a mass-market daily newspaper. Her switch to [[Die Zeit]] came in 1990. As a regular contributor to the paper's [[Feuilleton]] (arts and literature) section she gained a reputation as a perceptive, original, but sometimes also starkly polemical literature critic, able to deliver her judgments with a rare level of authority.<ref name=IRlautLitTip/> She was able to combine her journalism with guest professorships, notably at [[Saint Louis University|St. Louis]] and at [[University of Göttingen|Göttingen]]. She also began to appear as a television moderator in discussion programmes transmitted by [[ZDF]], [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]], [[Westdeutscher Rundfunk|WDR]] and the private-sector broadcaster [[VOX (German TV channel)|VOX]].<ref name=IRlautLuK/>

Her public profile rose after August 2000 when she began her involvement with [[:de:Das Literarische Quartett|"Das Literarische Quartett" ("The Literary Quartet")]], a weekly television programme produced by [[West Germany]]'s [[ZDF|ZDF broadcasting operator]] in collaboration (at that time) with Austria's [[ORF (broadcaster)|ORF]]. The programme presented book reviews provided (and argued over) by a permanent panel of four literary critics. Radisch took the place vacated through the well publicised resignation from the programme of [[Sigrid Löffler]].<ref name=IRuLirQua>{{cite web|url=http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/literatur/literarisches-quartett-iris-radisch-ersetzt-sigrid-loeffler-a-87517.html|date=1 August 2000|title=Iris Radisch ersetzt Sigrid Löffler|work=Iris Radisch wird neues Mitglied beim ZDF-Büchermagazin "Das Literarische Quartett".

Jürgen von der Lippe's first major success was ''Donnerlippchen'' (Little Thunder Lips) on [[Westdeutscher Rundfunk|WDR]] television station. He went on to present another very successful dating show, ''Geld oder Liebe'' (Money or Love) on [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]]; this finished in 2001 after twelve years on air.

Some other [[public service broadcasting]] programmes of his included ''WWF Club'' (1980 to 1990), ''So isses'' ("That's how it is"), ''Die Goldene Eins'' ("The Golden No. 1"), ''Hast Du Worte'' ("Got words?"), ''Wat is?'' ("Whassup?"), ''Lippes Lachmix'' ("Lippe's Comedy Mix") and ''Was liest Du?'' ("What are you reading?").

On [[commercial television]] he presented the show ''Blind Dinner'' ([[Sat.1]], 2001), and since 2001 he has presented the humorous [[Sat.1]] review of the year's events, ''Wer zuletzt lacht'' ("He who laughs last").

In spring 2004 he played the main role of Father Erdmann in the comedy series ''[[Der Heiland auf dem Eiland]]'' ("The Saviour on the Island") on [[RTL Television]]. The first series of six episodes was very successful. The second series ran from 23 February 2005, this time with eight episodes. Jürgen von der Lippe had already played a Catholic priest in the comedy ''{{Interlanguage link multi|Nich’ mit Leo|de}}'', in which he also played a [[brothel]] manager and a [[French Foreign Legion|Foreign Legion]]naire.

As of 2007, he sometimes appears in the improvisational comedy series ''[[Schillerstraße]]'', playing the role of [[Cordula Stratmann]]'s father. Since 15 July 2006, von der Lippe has also presented the programme ''Extreme Activity'' on the commercial station [[ProSieben]].

== Career as a singer ==

In 1976 von der Lippe founded the "Gebrüder Blattschuss", which lasted until 1979. His greatest musical success, however, was ''Guten Morgen, liebe Sorgen'' ("Good morning, dear worries"), which made it to first place in the [[ZDF]] hit parade in July and August 1987.

== Stage programme ==

Von der Lippe's stage appearances have been sold in large numbers as soundtracks and videos. Typically, he dissects odd quirks and everyday events, expertly poking gentle fun at them, with plenty of self-irony. He makes playful use of amusing [[borrowed word]]s and [[synonym]]s in German.

The main themes are marriage, relationships between men and women and the way people act in certain situations. He often brings in fictitious "autobiographical" stories supposed to be from his youth or childhood, often based on his old "arch enemy" "Udo Lohmeier". Each show generally has a topic running through it. When on tour, von der Lippe also likes to vary the content of his stage shows, integrating current events.

One recurring element over the years has also been von der Lippe's parodies of well-known German stars such as [[Udo Lindenberg]], [[Peter Maffay]] and [[Helge Schneider]].

Many of his sketches are literal translations from Bill Cosby (e.g. Rache = revenge) or George Carlin (e.g. interview with Jesus).

During his career, von der Lippe has created many characters who appear and reappear in [[monologue]]s and songs, often played by von der Lippe himself in costume. These include a naive Catholic priest who reflects on human behaviour (often sexual), a postal worker from the [[Sauerland]], with an appropriate accent, and "Kalle", a Berlin heavy metal fan.

Markus Maria Profitlich

Tipicaoskatena:

{{BLP sources|date=December 2010}}
'''Markus Maria Profitlich''' (born March 25, 1960 in [[Bonn]]) is a [[Germany|German]] [[comedian]], [[actor]] and [[voice actor]] who was a cast member of ''[[Die Wochenshow]]'' between 1999 and 2001. He now hosts and performs his own show, ''[[Mensch Markus]]''.

His most famous role on ''Die Wochenshow'' was the [[Erklärbär]] (Explaining Bear). Other roles included the shy reporter Peter Wuttke, Mawegda Gandhi and Baby Markus.

Furthermore, Profitlich is the producer of the programme ''Weibsbilder'', as well as ''Deutschland ist schön'' (Germany is nice).
The name ''Profitlich'' is not a [[stage name]], but is probably derived from "a person who acts profitably" (source: [[Jürgen Udolph|Udolph, Jürgen]]: ''Professor Udolphs Buch der Namen'', Munich, 2005, P. 78-81). Profitlich also voiced Bob Parr / Mr. Incredible in the German dub of the [[Pixar]] films [[The Incredibles]] and [[Incredibles 2]].

'''Anke Christina Fischer''' (née Engelke; born 21 December 1965) is a Canadian-German comedian, actress and voice-over actress born in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]], Canada.

== Life ==
Engelke moved to [[Cologne]] in 1971 with her [[Germans|German]] parents. Early on, she exhibited singing talent, and was discovered in 1978 by Georg Bossert at a performance of her school's choir.

From 1979 to 1986, she was the presenter of the daily children's television show broadcast from the [[Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin|Funkausstellung]] (a German radio exhibition, held every other year in [[Berlin]]), and the weekly children and youth's sports magazine show ''Pfiff''. From 1978 to 1980, she hosted the show ''Moment mal'' (Wait a minute) on [[RTL Television|RTL]]. [[Südwestrundfunk|SWF3]] first brought her on board in 1986 as an editor; later on, she was the presenter there until 1998. She has sung with ''Fred Kellner und die famosen Soul Sisters'' since 1989. Since 1993, she has been part of the SWF3-Comedy-Ensemble ''Gagtory''.

From 1994 to 2000, Engelke was married to the [[Keyboard instrument|keyboard]]ist Andreas Grimm with whom she has a daughter. Currently she is married to musician Claus Fischer with whom she has two sons.

From 1996 to 2000, she was part of ''[[Die Wochenshow]]'' on [[Sat.1]], a rather famous comedy TV show in Germany at that time, alongside [[Bastian Pastewka]], [[Ingolf Lück]] and [[Marco Rima]].

In 2003, Anke Engelke and [[Olli Dittrich]] were awarded the [[Grimme-Preis]] for the improv show ''Blind Date 2 - Taxi nach Schweinau''.

In December 2003, Engelke provided the voice of the fish Dory in the German dubbing of the computer-animated film ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', which is voiced by [[Ellen DeGeneres]] in the English original. She also provided the voice of Jane Porter in the German dubbing of the [[Disney]] movie ''[[Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan]]'', who is voiced by [[Minnie Driver]] in the original version.

Engelke can also be seen in the successful sketch comedy show ''[[Ladykracher]]'' on [[Sat.1]]. On May 17, 2004, when the very successful ''[[Harald Schmidt|Die Harald Schmidt Show]]'' left Sat.1, Engelke took over its timeslot with ''[[Anke Late Night]]'', which was cancelled due to low ratings a few months later on October 21, 2004.

Engelke is the German voice of [[Marge Simpson]] on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' since her predecessor [[Elisabeth Volkmann]] died in the summer of 2006. Elisabeth Volkmann was Marge's German voice for 15 years until her death. Engelke's first episode was "[[My Fair Laddy]]", which aired in Germany on January 21, 2007.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.prosieben.de/spielfilm_serie/simpsons/artikel/30886/ | title = Anke Engelke spricht Marge Simpson! | publisher = ProSieben | accessdate = 2008-02-19}}</ref>

In December 2009 she hosted the [[European Film Awards]] ceremony, a role she would repeat in 2010, 2011 and 2012.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.europeanfilmawards.eu/en_EN/archive | title = European Film Awards Archive | publisher = European Film Awards | accessdate = 2012-01-26}}</ref>

In May 2011, she hosted the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2011]] in [[Düsseldorf]] alongside [[Stefan Raab]] and [[Judith Rakers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eurovision.ndr.de/news/meldungen/moderationfinale101.html |title=ESC 2011: Moderatoren stehen fest |publisher=Eurovision.de |accessdate=2010-12-16 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219013109/http://eurovision.ndr.de/news/meldungen/moderationfinale101.html |archivedate=2010-12-19 }}</ref>

The following year, Engelke served as the spokesperson for [[Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012|Germany]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2012]] held in [[Baku]], [[Azerbaijan]]. Before presenting the votes, she also gave a live statement on the human-rights issues in the hosting country, saying: "Tonight nobody could vote for their own country. But it is good to be able to vote. And it is good to have a choice. Good luck on your journey, Azerbaijan. Europe is watching you." She was the only spokesperson to articulately address [[Human rights in Azerbaijan|human rights]] during the event. She had also served as one of Germany's national juries for the contest during that year.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/esc-in-baku-anke-engelke-kommentiert-unfreiheit-in-aserbaidschan-a-835464.html | title=Umstrittener Eurovision Song Contest.

'''Kaya Yanar''' (born 20 May 1973 in [[Frankfurt am Main]], [[Germany]]) is a German comedian,<ref name="RTL">{{cite web|title = Die Biografie von Kaya Yanar|date = 13 May 2014|website = RTL.de|url =http://www.rtl.de/cms/die-biografie-von-kaya-yanar-1650688.html|accessdate = 30 November 2015}}</ref> best known for his comedy show ''[[Was guckst du?!]]'' (Whaddaya lookin' at?!).<ref name="CiD">{{cite web|title = Kaya Yanar|website = Comedians in Deutschland.de|url = http://www.comedians-in-deutschland.de/kaya-yanar.php|accessdate = 30 November 2015}}</ref>

== Early life ==
He was born to [[Turkish people|Turkish]] immigrants from [[Antakya]].<ref>''Interview mit Kaya Yanar'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20100920230648/http://www.tvdirekt.de/interview-kaya-yanar.html TV Direkt] (in [[German language|German]], archived version from 2010). "My parents are Turks, have a Turkish passport and lived in the southernmost city of Turkey: [[Antakya]]. ... I have occasionally told that my parents know Arabic. That is how this description of being "half Turkish, half Arab" arose. I am a German with Turkish roots, whose parents know Arabic. That is the best way to describe the situation."</ref> While at school he once told his teacher that he wanted to be a comedian, which made the teacher laugh. In an interview with German talkshow host [[Johannes B. Kerner]] Yanar described his childhood as a more liberal one and stated that despite his Turkish nationality, he doesn't have a perfect grasp of the [[Turkish language]]. After graduating from Heinrich-von-Gagern-[[Gymnasium (Germany)|Gymnasium]] (a school in [[Frankfurt]]) he studied phonetics, American studies and philosophy but left university prior to graduation.

== Career ==
In his one-man comedy show ''Was guckst du?!'', Yanar toys with well-known cultural stereotypes both as host and main performer. For one of his best known sketches about an East Indian, Ranjid and his pet cow (and substitute best friend) Benita, he practiced pidgin-English for months, which he learned from some Indian friends of his from university. He also parodies the stereotypical way [[Kanak Sprak|Turkish migrants use to speak]].

Furthermore, he toured through Germany with solo programmes. Fixations of his programmes "Made in Germany" (2008), "Live und unzensiert" (2009) and "All Inclusive!" (2013) were broadcast by German TV station RTL.

He also presented the ZDF-Show "Kaya Yanar testet Deutschland – die Multi-Kulti-Show (2007)" as part of a theme week focusing on integration. Because of his great success being without precedent for an artist with Turkish migration background in the German-speaking countries at the time of his appearance, Yanar is considered as a key figure and trailblazer for the acceptance of multicultural issues.<ref>{{cite dissertation|first = Erol|last = Boran|title = Geschichte des türkisch-deutschen Theaters und Kabaretts|publisher = [[Ohio State University]]|year = 2004|url = http://www.ohiolink.edu/etd/send-pdf.cgi?osu1095620178|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060906145742/http://www.ohiolink.edu/etd/send-pdf.cgi?osu1095620178|archive-date=6 September 2006 }}</ref>

Since December 2012 Yanar is godfather of the "Heinrich-Middendorf-Oberschule Aschendorf" in the project "Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage" ("School without racism - school with courage").

In 2014 RTL started broadcasting his show ""Geht's noch?! Kayas Woche"", a weekly current affairs programme with a mixture of stand up comedy and political satire.

Kaya Yanar is also a member of the jury in the German "Comedy Grand-Prix"; an annual comedy contest which is broadcast on TV to seek the "best German comedian".<ref>{{cite web|title=RTL Comedy Grand-Prix: Jury|url=http://www.rtl.de/cms/sendungen/comedy/comedy-grand-prix.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=News.de: Comedy Grand-Prix|url=http://www.news.de/tv/855628290/der-rtl-comedy-grand-prix-22-15-uhr-02-01-2016-im-tv-online-geissen-live-stream-wiederholung-mirja-boes-kaya-yanar-paul-panzer-oliver/1/}}</ref>

'''Thore Schölermann''' (born 26 September 1984 in [[Iserlohn]], [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]) is a [[Germany|German]] [[actor]] and [[television host]].

==Career==
After graduation in 2004 he trained to be a professional actor at [[Palma de Mallorca]], [[Spain]]. He then took part in a few short movies. He had lead roles in ''[[The Typewriter]]'', directed by FM Croissant in 2004, followed by ''[[Unscrewed 2]]'', directed by Florian Huber in 2005 and ''[[Butterfly Child]]'', directed by Daniel Schmidt in 2006

In 2006, Schölermann took the part of [[Christian Mann]] in the [[soap opera]] ''[[Verbotene Liebe]]''. After being cast in August, he first appeared on-screen on November 27, 2006. The role brought him international fame when Christian was paired with [[Oliver Sabel]], played by [[Jo Weil]]. Christian and Olli became a phenomenon with fans all over the world. The couple was featured in many different stories together over the years, much to the producers fear of breaking up the couple.

Schölermann and his on-screen-partner Weil were judges on Mr. Gay World 2009.<ref name=gaysofourlives>{{cite web|last=Langford|first=Anthony|title=Gays of our Lives|url=http://www.afterelton.com/TV/gayslives/03-09-09|publisher=Afterelton.com|accessdate=13 October 2011}}</ref>

In 2012, it was announced that Schölermann would take over hosting duties for ''[[The Voice of Germany]]'' from previous host Stefan Gödde.<ref>{{cite web |last=Niemeier |first=Timo |title=Thore Schölermann moderiert "The Voice" |url=http://www.quotenmeter.de/n/57351/thore-schoelermann-moderiert-the-voice |publisher=Quotenmeter.de |accessdate= 19 March 2013}}</ref> It was originally planned that his new work wouldn't affect Schölermann's work on ''Verbotene Liebe''. However, his screen time got reduced and he then vacated the role on December 7, 2012 with Christian taking a job abroad.
Online rumors indicated that Schölermann would return to the soap opera in early 2013, when the season finale of ''The Voice of Germany'' aired. These rumors turned out to be untrue as Schölermann's management made a statement that there are no plans of Thore Schölermann returning to ''Verbotene Liebe'' full-time.<ref>{{cite web |last=Troesser |first=Julia |title="Verbotene Liebe" - Thore Schölermann: Kein dauerhaftes Comeback |url=http://www.express.de/soaps---serien/-verbotene-liebe--thore-schoelermann--kein-dauerhaftes-comeback,16776356,21934488.html |publisher=Express |accessdate=19 March 2013}}</ref> However, he would be open to a short stint if the production could schedule around his other engagements. In June 2013 he returned filming, with his on-screen return planned for September.<ref>{{cite web|title=Meldungen Mittwoch, 05.06.2013 Thore Schölermann dreht wieder für die "Verbotene Liebe"|url=http://programm.daserste.de/pages/meldungen/detail.aspx?id=A4425DBA561108ED|publisher=Das Erste|language=German}}</ref>

Instead Schölermann resumed co-hosting the [[Tabloid journalism|tabloid]] [[news magazine]] ''[[Taff (Pro 7)|taff]]''. A position he took on in early 2012. Schölermann is now irregular seen as replacement for [[Daniel Aminati]]. In 2013, he also agreed to host ''The Voice of Germany'' spin-off ''[[The Voice Kids (German TV series)|The Voice Kids]]''<ref>{{cite web |last=Krei |first=Alexander |title=Hoffen auf Erfolg: "The Voice Kids" startet im April |url=http://www.dwdl.de/nachrichten/39826/hoffen_auf_erfolg_the_voice_kids_startet_im_april/ |publisher=DWDL.de |accessdate=19 March 2013}}</ref>

Since January 2018, Schölermann hosts the German version of "[[Get The F*ck Out Of My House|Get The F*ck Out of My House]]" along with Julie Kilka.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.prosieben.de/tv/get-the-f-ck-out-of-my-house|title=Get the F*ck out of my House|date=2017-11-24|work=www.prosieben.de|access-date=2018-01-19|language=de}}</ref>

From 2018, he will present with [[Lena Gercke]] the German version of ''[[The Voice Senior (German TV series)|The Voice Senior]]'' on [[Sat.1]].

==Personal life==
In an interview, Thore stated that he was an animal lover and that he had several pets during his childhood, including a pig. He is a forester and a hunter. Hunting has been one of his favorite pastimes over the course of his life. Most of all Thore loves horseback riding, and is good at training horses, too.

'''Peer Augustinski''' (June 25, 1940 – October 3, 2014) was a German [[actor]] and [[voice actor]].

==Biography==
Born in [[Berlin]], Augustinski was best known as a cast member of ''{{Interlanguage link multi|Klimbim|de}}'' (English: ''Odds and Ends''), one of the first successful comedy shows in Germany, and as the official German dub-over artist of [[Robin Williams]]. With the exception of The Peddler in ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', Augustinski dubbed all of Williams' film and television roles from late 1986 (starting with ''[[Seize the Day (film)|Seize the Day]]'') to 2004.

He suffered a debilitating stroke in 2005 which prevented him from working as actively as before, but he was eventually able to dub Williams in a few more projects, the last being ''[[Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian]]'' in 2009.

==Death==
Augustinski died less than two months after Williams, on 3 October 2014, aged 74, after complications from epilepsy.<ref>[https://www.synchronkartei.de/?action=show&type=actor&id=460]</ref><ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/tv/peer-augustinski-klimbim-darsteller-ist-tot-a-995445.html]</ref><ref>[http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/medienbericht-schauspieler-peer-augustinski-ist-tot-1.2160513]</ref>

'''Johannes Baptist Kerner''' (born 9 December 1964 in [[Bonn]]) is a [[Germany|German]] TV personality best known as a [[sportscaster]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/it-medien/johannes-b-kerner-wechselt-zurueck-zu-sat-1/3162190.html|title=TV-Sender: Johannes B. Kerner wechselt zurück zu Sat 1|date=22 April 2009|work=[[Handelsblatt]]|language=German|accessdate=11 May 2011}}</ref>

==Early life==

Kerner was raised in [[Hersel]], Stadtteil of [[Bornheim (Rheinland)|Bornheim]], Germany in a Catholic household. He attended boarding school at [[Aloisiuskolleg]] in [[Bonn]] and went on to study business administration in Berlin, but did not graduate.

== Career ==

He started his career in television at [[Sender Freies Berlin]] in 1986 first as an intern, then as a reporter for local sportscasts. From 1990 to 1992 he regularly hosted "Punkt 4 Länderreport", a national afternoon [[newscast]] on [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]].

He became known to a wider audience as a host and producer for the [[soccer]] show 'ran – Sat.1 Bundesliga' on the private [[Sat.1]] channel when the network acquired the broadcasting rights to the [[Bundesliga]], the highest national soccer league in Germany. He hosted the show from August 1992 until end of 1997 in rotation with several other young broadcasters who went on to become TV personalities in Germany, including [[Reinhold Beckmann]] (who now hosts his own weekly talk show), [[Oliver Welke]] and [[Monica Lierhaus]]. For this show he received a number of awards, including a prize as the most well-liked sportscaster in 1996 and 1997 by the German sports magazine [[Sport Bild]].

In 1996 Johannes B. Kerner started his first daily afternoon talkshow on Sat 1 simply called ''Kerner''.

In 1997 he switched to a public television channel again, this time to [[ZDF]] (as an independent freelancer) where he was a host for the weekly sports review ''das aktuelle sportstudio'' (until 2006) and a number of soccer games played by the German national team. He served as main host for all games broadcast by ZDF during the [[FIFA World Cup]] 2006 in Germany in front of a large live audience in Berlin, for which he receive a ''Deutscher Fernsehpreis'' award (comparable to an [[Emmy]]). In addition to this, he was [[master of ceremonies]] for several special show programs on ZDF such as yearly reviews of the people and stories making news in the past twelve months around Christmas.

In 2009 Johannes B. Kerner switched back to Sat.1 for a TV show simply called "kerner", as a magazine now.

==Johannes B. Kerner Show==

His eponymous talk show went on air every Thursday night on ZDF at around 11 pm since January 1998. It was expanded to four times per week from Tuesday to Friday in January 2002. The show features mostly German celebrities and TV personalities, as well as regular people's stories. Unlike many late night shows, ''Johannes B. Kerner'' does not open with Kerner holding any stand-up monologue and only has him sitting at a desk and talking with a number of guests seated next to him (usually 3 to 5). Also there is no regular live band in the studio.

Since January 21, 2005 his Friday evening session has been transformed into a cooking show called ''Kochen bei Kerner'' (Cooking with Kerner). Normally the show features five chefs who each explain and prepare a course for an elaborate meal live and within one hour. After each cook has finished his or her dish Kerner and the others are tasting and informally judging it, before some people in the audience also receive a sample of it. The show regularly features chefs from German-speaking countries such as [[Johann Lafer]], [[Alfons Schubeck]], [[Tim Mälzer]], [[Sarah Wiener]], [[Ralf Zacherl]] and [[Horst Lichter]], as well as occasionally some chefs like [[Jamie Oliver]].

==Private life and trivia==
Kerner married [[Britta Becker]], a former [[field hockey]] World Cup and Olympic medalist for Germany in April 1996. They have four children: Emily Blomma (born January 1999), Nik David (born October 2001), Polly Marie (born 30 June 2007) and Jilly Lina (born 20 October 2009). The family currently resides in Hamburg, where his talk show is produced.

==Life==
Böhme grew up in [[Frankfurt am Main]]. After school, he studied economics there and graduated with a [[Academic degree|degree]] in [[economics]] from the [[Goethe University Frankfurt]].<ref name="alpha-forum">[http://www.br-online.de/download/pdf/alpha/b/boehme.pdf alpha-forum, Erich Böhme im Gespräch mit Klaus Kastan Sendung vom 8. Februar 2005, 20.15 Uhr] (PDF; 54 kB)</ref> In 1953 he began as an agency journalist at the ''Vereinigte Wirtschaftsdienste'' and then moved to the [[Stuttgart]]-based [[Deutsche Zeitung und Wirtschaftszeitung]].<ref name="alpha-forum"/> In 1958 he went to the news magazine [[Der Spiegel]], where he first became a business correspondent in what was then the federal capital [[Bonn]], where he became office manager in 1969. Böhme became [[editor-in-chief]] of Der Spiegel in 1973 when his friend and predecessor [[Günter Gaus]] switched to politics. At Der Spiegel, he was also responsible for reporting on the [[Uwe Barschel|Barschel affair]]. Böhme himself described the revelations of [[Prime minister]] Barschel's then media spokesman [[Reiner Pfeiffer]] about the manipulations in [[Schleswig-Holstein]]'s 1987 state election campaign as the highlight of his career.

On 30 October 1989, shortly before the opening of the [[Berlin Wall]], Böhme published the commentary ''The opportunity is good.'' with the key phrase: ''I don't want to be reunited.'' Five years later he put this into perspective with the words: ''What devil may have ridden me when I wrote in the SPIEGEL five years ago 'I don't want to be reunited'?''<ref>Erich Böhme: [http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/archiv/9--november---das-dicke-ende,10810590,8883078.html ''9. November – das dicke Ende]''; in: Berliner Zeitung, 9. November 1994</ref>

After several disagreements with [[Rudolf Augstein]], Böhme left Der Spiegel at the end of 1989 - shortly before his 60th birthday - after almost 17 years as [[editor-in-chief]].<ref>[http://www.berlinonline.de/berliner-zeitung/kultur/detail_dpa_23131490.php ''Ex-„Spiegel“-Chef Erich Böhme gestorben''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091201063421/http://www.berlinonline.de/berliner-zeitung/kultur/detail_dpa_23131490.php |date=2009-12-01 }}; Berliner Zeitung, 28. November 2009</ref> From November 1990 he worked for four years as editor of the [[Berliner Zeitung]], published by [[Gruner + Jahr]] and [[Robert Maxwell]]. Also from 1990 he hosted the [[political]] [[talk show]] [[Talk im Turm]] at [[Sat.1]] for eight and a half years. Böhme moderated [[n-tv]]'s [[Der Grüne Salon]] together with [[Heinz Eggert]] from the end of 1997, before returning to his initial TV format with [[Talk in Berlin]]. On 27 February 2007, Böhme moderated the programme [[Menschen bei Maischberger]] as a representative for [[Sandra Maischberger]], who took a baby break of several weeks. Even after his time as editor of the [[Berliner Zeitung]], he still worked as a print journalist. He wrote columns for the [[Berliner Zeitung]], the [[Munich]] [[Abendzeitung]]<ref name="alpha-forum"/> and the [[Sächsische Zeitung]].<ref name="so20091129">H. Palmer: [http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/0,1518,664077,00.html ''Trauer um Erich Böhme – Der Mann mit der rotierenden Brille.''] In: ''Spiegel-Online'' vom 29. November 2009</ref>

In his second marriage, Böhme was married to the former Der Spiegel cultural editor and later [[literary agent]] Monica Vogelgsang (†1990),<ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13502686.html ''Gestorben: Monica Böhme''], Der Spiegel, 30.

He last lived with her in [[Worin]] in the [[Oderland]] region of [[Brandenburg]]. Böhme died on 27 November 2009 as a result of many years of [[cancer]].<ref>[http://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/ex-spiegel-chef-erich-boehme-gestorben_aid_458352.html ''Ex-„Spiegel“-Chef Erich Böhme gestorben'']; Focus, 28.

Former Foreign Minister [[Joschka Fischer]] praised Böhme as a "living history book of the old Federal Republic". For him, [[journalism]] was a defence of [[democracy]]. His [[grave]] is in the [[French Cemetery]] in [[Berlin]].

'''Ilka Bessin''' (born 18 November 1971) is a German [[comedian]] and [[actor|actress]], best known for her role as ''Cindy aus [[Marzahn]]'' (German for: ''Cindy from Marzahn'').

== Early life ==
Bessin was born in [[Luckenwalde]], [[East Germany]]. After finishing school, Bessin studied culinary arts and later trained to be a hotel manager. She worked as a chef until the [[Berlin Wall]] fell in 1989, and [[German reunification|Germany was reunified]]. Shortly after that, she was a bartender in a disco and later the chief clerk. In 1999, she changed careers and became an entertainment director and comedy performer on a cruise liner. It was there that she invented her most famous character "Cindy aus Marzahn". Marzahn is a blue collar section of East Berlin.

==Career start==
In 2004, she won the final season of the [[ProSieben]] network's [[Thomas Hermanns|Quatsch Comedy Club]] stand-up show. With this win, her career as a comedian and actress began. In 2009, she was set in the role of the landlady Ilka in the [[Sat.1]] comedy show [[Schillerstraße]]. In January 2010, she started her own comedy show, named ''Cindy aus Marzahn und die jungen Wilden (Cindy from Marzahn and the Wild Youth)''. In spring 2011, the third season started ''Nicht jeder Prinz kommt uff'm Pferd!'' ''(Not Every Prince Comes on a Horse)''.<ref>Nicholas Kulish, [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/22/world/europe/in-cindy-from-marzahn-an-offbeat-comedian-of-the-people.html "An Accidental Comedian of the People"] ''The New York Times'' (December 21, 2012) Retrieved May 19, 2013</ref> Followed by the Pink is Bjutiful 2013.<ref>[http://www.vorverkaufstarts.de/cindy-aus-marzahn-tour-tickets/ Cindy aus Marzahn Tourdates].

==Cindy aus Marzahn==
Cindy aus Marzahn is a fictional character from the [[Berlin]] working class area [[Marzahn]]. Her character of a frumpy, sarcastic "Ossie" woman has endeared her to millions of Germans, Swiss and Austrians, and she is one of the most famous and highly paid female entertainers and comedians in those countries. Her humorous observations about everyday life can be compared to Roseanne Barr of the USA, with more sweetness added. Cindy is most famous for her flaming pink velour track suit, and curly blond hair, with over-the-top makeup. Cindy's television comedy specials, usually taped in [[Halle (Saale)]], Germany, consistently attract strong audiences, and top guest stars and comedians from German comedy. Following the retirement of [[Thomas Gottschalk]] and [[Michelle Hunziker]] as presenters of the very famous German TV show "[[Wetten, dass..?]]", she assisted new presenter [[Markus Lanz]] as a co-host.
Though very private about her personal life, reports are she has a daughter, and is single.

'''Oliver Pocher''' (born 18 February 1978) is a German [[actor]], [[stand-up comedian]] and [[television host]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life and professional training ===
Pocher is the son of Gerhard and Jutta Pocher; he was born and grew up in [[Hanover]], [[West Germany]]. His parents are [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] and he too was raised as one. In 2007, Pocher stated that, unlike his parents, he had no contact with the organization anymore as he claimed "not to have agreed with their rules“.<ref>[http://www.bild.de/BTO/leute/2007/04/11/pocher-oliver-kirche/comedian-fernsehen-glauben.html Sex vor der Ehe ist verwerflich... muss aber leider manchmal sein] Bild.de</ref>

Reports that Pocher had attended a [[Waldorf school]] were denied by his management.<ref>
{{Cite web|access-date=23 June 2015|url=http://www.waldorfbazar.de/blog/oliver-pocher-ist-kein-waldorfschueler/|title=Oliver Pocher ist kein Waldorfschüler}}</ref>
Pocher successfully completed his training as an insurance broker at Signal Iduna Bauspar AG.

During the time of his apprenticeship he had some part-time jobs at various radio stations and as a DJ in clubs and during family celebrations. He also appeared in the comedian group Holla-Bolla and as an entertainer at Birte Karalus, a German chat show. After his apprenticeship he worked for the Swiss life insurance " Schweizerische Lebensversicherungs- und Rentenanstalt" (today: SwissLife) and the "HDI Lebensversicherung AG" (HDI life insurance).

=== Career ===
Pocher's first television appearance was on 28 October 1998 at the afternoon chat show of Bärbel Schäfer. Pocher was given 5 minutes to make the audience laugh.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb8fWxNsGRY YouTube Video vom Acting by Bärbel Schäfer]</ref>

On 29 September 1999 he presented the show ''Chart Surfer Trash Top 100'', ''Was geht ab'', ''Planet Viva'' and finally 2002 his own show ''Alles Pocher, ... oder was?''.

Between January 2003 to 14 April 2006 he presents the show ''Rent a Pocher'' on ProSieben.<ref>[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/156625/february-12-2008/who-s-riding-my-coattails-now----oliver-pocher February 12, 2008: Who's Riding My Coattails Now? - Oliver Pocher]</ref>

In 2006 he recorded the single "Schwarz und Weiss," a song dedicated to the 2006 world cup. A music video was made, featuring Oliver as several pressbox speakers, as well as him performing the song in front of fans dressed in Team Germany attire.<ref>[http://www.focus.de/kultur/kino_tv/tid-9318/medien-jeder-kann-bloed-sein_aid_263630.html „Jeder kann blöd sein“]</ref>

From October 2007 to April 2009, Pocher joined established late night host [[Harald Schmidt]]'s show on the [[Das Erste]] television channel, with the show being called ''Schmidt und Pocher''.

In 2008 his third single "Bringt ihn heim“ (engl.: bring him home) was released. It is a song for the European Football Championship of 2008. The original version is Baschi's number one hit (Switzerland) “Bring en hei“ {{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} He acted as a co-trainer of the European Team during the DEL All Star Game in 2009. {{Citation needed|date=December 2010}}

Pocher's contract was not renewed after April 2009, so he was hired by [[Sat.1]] instead to present his own late night show, ''Die Oliver Pocher Show''. The show's ratings were always below the station's average and even slipping over the course of the run until it was cancelled in March 2011.

===Criticism and scandals===
Oliver Pocher haa been widely criticised for his jokes at the expense of others. After he recommended plastic surgery to a woman of the audience of the ''[[Wetten, dass..?]]'' ("Wanna Bet..?") episode on 22 January 2005, he was sued for damages of €25,000.<ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/0,1518,539956,00.html Spiegel.de]</ref> Although he apologised to her on the phone and repeated this apology in public during one of his shows, he was not able to solve this conflict out of court. On the 11 January Pocher was sentenced by the district court of Hanover to pay a fine of €6,000. The judge in charge called Pocher's statement (“You look quite old for your age”) a “very insulting comment”. The public insulting continued in January 2008 during the TV show "Johannes B. Kerner" when Pocher once again made fun of the same woman's appearance and mocked the verdict. As a result, another suit was filed against the entertainer. The victim's lawyer explained that the woman was insulted and that the topic is repeatedly brought up by people whom she meets during her work. Pocher did not comment on this.<ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/0,1518,539956,00.html Spiegel.de]</ref> Statements such as those made by Pocher could be legal in the future, as the Council of Europe is advising to decriminalise insults.<ref>[http://assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=/Documents/WorkingDocs/Doc07/EDOC11305.htm Report by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Council of Europe] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110312142956/http://assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=%2FDocuments%2FWorkingDocs%2FDoc07%2FEDOC11305.htm |date=2011-03-12 }}</ref>

Pocher caused a scandal in July 2005 during the ZDF (German broadcasting station) – show "Gottschalk & Friends" when he first insulted [[Mariah Carey]] and later accidentally spat water onto her.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRnACRtCQE Clip from the Attack at YouTube]</ref> For this action he was harshly criticised by some newspapers and by the broadcast station in charge. Gottschalk himself kept calm and commented on the incident: "Of course I do not want to have jokes at the expense of others during my show and I do not want corpses to be carried away from the battlefield afterwards. If you invite Pocher to your show, however, you should expect a different atmosphere than with, for example, [[Alfred Biolek]]."

When Pocher mocked the personal life of singer [[Sarah Connor (singer)|Sarah Connor]] and her reality show, Connor sued Pocher. While the exact outcome of the lawsuit is not known, Pocher did apologise to Connor.<ref>[http://www.giga.de/features/storyarchiv/00127377-sarah-connor-vs-oliver-pocher-krieg-im-tv/ Sarah Connor vs. Oliver Pocher - Krieg im TV]</ref>

In January 2009, during the TV show “Schmidt & Pocher“, Pocher spoofed the Hitler assassin [[Claus von Stauffenberg|Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg]], who is portrayed by [[Tom Cruise]] in "[[Valkyrie (film)|Valkyrie]]". He had to face negative feedback for this and thereafter the broadcasting commission examined this incident.<ref>[http://www.abendblatt.de/kultur-live/article147225/ARD-Widerstand-gegen-Oliver-Pocher-waechst.html Article in the "Hamburger Abendblatt"]</ref>

In February 2014, at the Vienna Ball, Oliver Pocher was interviewed by Mirjam Wechselbraun with [[Kim Kardashian]]. He joked that he was only going to dance when 'N****** in Vienna' was played.

'''Harald Franz Schmidt''' (born 18 August 1957) is a German actor, writer, columnist, comedian and television entertainer best known as host of two popular German late-night shows.

== Biography ==

=== Early and private life ===
As son of refugees who fled from [[Sudetenland]] (now [[Czech Republic]]) in 1945, Schmidt spent his youth in [[Swabia]]n [[Nürtingen]], where he went to grammar school. Due to his strict Catholic upbringing he devoted time to the [[Roman Catholic church]], serving as choirmaster and playing the organ.

At the age of 21, Schmidt went to [[Stuttgart]] to attend drama school for three years. After that, he gained on-stage experience at Städtische Bühne (Municipal Stage) in [[Augsburg]]. His first role was that of the 2nd Mamaluke in Lessing's ''[[Nathan der Weise|Nathan the Wise]]''. In 1984, Harald Schmidt became a lyricist for the cabaret ''[[Kom(m)ödchen]]'' in [[Düsseldorf]] and in 1986, was honoured as "Best Newcomer cabaret artist" and toured through Germany with his own show.

In October 2005, his daughter Amelie was born. Harald Schmidt resides in [[Cologne]] with his partner Ellen Hantsch, a school teacher, and five children, the eldest being from a former relationship. Little is known about the children and their two mothers as Schmidt shields them from the public. In interviews he hardly talks about them.

=== Later artistic career ===
Before long, TV noticed the talented young comedian and in 1988 Schmidt began to host his first TV show, ''MAZ ab''. This was followed by shows like ''Psst!'' and ''Schmidteinander'', but the biggest boost to his career occurred in 1992, when he started hosting the popular Saturday night show, ''Verstehen Sie Spaß?'' (a variation of ''[[Candid Camera]]''). Schmidt was awarded Germany's most important TV award, "[[Adolf-Grimme-Preis]]", which would be followed by many others. Just one year later, he was honoured as the "Entertainer of the year" and awarded the famous [[Bambi (prize)|Bambi]] award and the [[Goldene Kamera|Golden Camera]].

In 2004, Schmidt toured through Germany with a live comedy show, featuring his former late night show sidekick [[Manuel Andrack]]. Schmidt is best known for his late-night shows:
[[File:Harald schmidt-manuel andrack karlsruhe 2005-04-15.jpg|thumb|right|Harald Schmidt and [[Manuel Andrack]] live in [[Karlsruhe]]]]

==== ''Harald Schmidt Show'' (Sat.1) ====
In 1995 Schmidt changed from the publicly funded TV station ARD to the privately owned German television network [[Sat.1]] in order to host a late night show comparable to ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'' or ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''. The show, named ''[[Die Harald Schmidt Show]]'', features stand-up comedy as well as famous national and international guests. From 30 June 2003 the show was broadcast five days a week, including Monday evening. On 8 December 2003 Schmidt suddenly announced the end of the show, following a change of management of Sat.1. The last show was aired on 23 December 2003. The following suspension of the TV format lasted until 2011, when the show returned to Sat.1.

==== ''Harald Schmidt'' (ARD) ====
In 2004 Schmidt began a second run with a new show named ''[[Harald Schmidt (ARD)|Harald Schmidt]]'' on publicly funded [[ARD (TV)|ARD]], where he had begun his television career 16 years earlier. The show no longer featured "celebrity" interviews but dealt even more with the discussion of current events in a rather freely associative manner. Manuel Andrack returned as his sidekick.

On his first show after the break Schmidt appeared with long hair and a full beard, making fun of his long absence from the public. After summer break in 2005 the "celebrity guest" segment was reintroduced.

==== ''Schmidt & Pocher'' (ARD) ====
Late in 2007, Manuel Andrack was replaced by comedian [[Oliver Pocher]], who had a more active part than his predecessor, and some other elements changed as well. The broadcast's title was changed to ''[[Schmidt & Pocher]]'', trying to attract a younger audience. Oliver Pocher was less educated and "less intellectual", a fact that caused some criticism among Harald Schmidt's core audience and broadsheet newspaper comments in Germany.

==== ''Harald Schmidt'' (ARD)====
After termination of Schmidt & Pocher, he again hosted the show under its former title ''Harald Schmidt'', this time without any sidekick.

==== Relaunch of the ''Harald Schmidt Show'' (Sat.1 and then Sky) ====

On 15 September 2011 Schmidt returned to his former network Sat.1 picking up its former name of ''Die Harald Schmidt Show'' again. However, Sat.1 cancelled the show after one season due to low ratings.<ref>http://tagesschau.de/kultur/haraldschmidt108.html</ref> Starting 4 September 2012, new episodes were shown on Sky Hits HD and Sky Atlantic HD, two channels of the German Pay-TV network [[Sky Deutschland]].<ref>http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/german-harald-Schmidt-sky-sat1-319303</ref> Schmidt hosted his very last show on 13 March 2014. He announced he would not return to TV.<ref>http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/tv/harald-schmidt-letzte-show-bei-sky-a-958244.html</ref> SKY published the last show on YouTube.<ref>{{YouTube|id=LrOYna52tX8&list=UUo4jMxp607FOEolnBUsEDkA}}</ref>

==== Concept and personalities ====
The self-proclaimed [[hypochondria]]c became popular for his cynical jokes, cruel remarks and wry intellectual wit. (Even though he is obsessed with health he was able to lampoon this weak spot in a self ironic TV commercial for a medicine curing colds.) Schmidt models himself after people like [[Johnny Carson]] and [[Conan O'Brien]], but adds factors and qualities to his show himself.

He engaged in long, seemingly boring conversations with his "supervising producer" [[Manuel Andrack]] (known as "chief dramatic adviser"), who sat at a desk next to Schmidt's until 2005, and, like Letterman, also included his staff in the show, for instance, his [[cue card]] girl [[Suzana Novinscak]] and his band leader [[Helmut Zerlett]]. Schmidt celebrated the return of French woman [[Nathalie Licard]] in his ARD era (like Zerlett she is still part of Schmidt's team). In Schmidt's original Harald Schmidt Show (1995–2003), Licard was involved in the goings-on in front of the audience too.

== Criticism ==
Especially during the first years of ''Die Harald Schmidt Show'', Schmidt was sometimes criticised for making fun of minorities like foreigners or gays. He also did some [[Adolf Hitler]] imitations in his show (in one of these he as Hitler warned young people not to vote for racist and nationalistic parties). Schmidt's more unorthodox and politically incorrect jokes have garnered the show a reputation as [[cult television]] and his supporters accused critics of being incapable of understanding satire.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}

In the later years of its first run on Sat.1 (circa 2001-2003), the ''Harald Schmidt Show'' became a critics' favourite due to Schmidt's "intellectual" sense of humour, especially for incorporating many references to high culture (be it literature, theater, classical music, painting, or cinema), history, and philosophy. Another recurring item were forays into surrealism and absurdity that were pretty much anathema to commercial or "mainstream" interest: For example, Schmidt hosted one show completely in French (re-broadcast a few days later on Franco-German channel [[Arte]], this ''Show en Francais'' episode gained glowing reviews from French critics). On another occasion, the screen was blacked for half of the show making it into a "[[radio|radio broadcast]]". Another time, he disproved a critic who had written that it is impossible to spend several minutes on TV just cracking nuts without anybody saying anything. The show's reviews and renown among critics gradually worsened during the years of its ARD run (2004-2010), especially because Schmidt's choice of [[Oliver Pocher]] as a new sidekick was considered a mistake that diminished the entire show's quality.

== Other activities ==

H. Schmidt's first book, ''Tränen im Aquarium'', was published in 1993, the second, ''Mulatten in gelben Sesseln'', in 2005.

1994-2013 H. Schmidt worked as a columnist for one of the major German weekly news magazines, ''[[Focus (German magazine)|Focus]]''. Many of his articles were assembled and released as books. The first of these, ''Warum?'' ("Why?"), was published in 1997; another 9 books followed.

H. Schmidt also voiced an audiobook ''Jerry Cotton – Mein erster Fall beim FBI'' (2003).

== Awards ==
H. Schmidt has won more than 30 TV, comedy and theatrical awards, including three German Television Awards, the viewers choice award [[Bambi (prize)|Bambi]], the Grimme Award, the Golden Camera and the RTL Golden Lion as best talk show host. In 2013 he became a Cavalier of [[Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ambafrance-de.org/Harald-Schmidt-zum-Ritter-der |title=Harald Schmidt zum Ritter der Ehrenlegion ernannt |publisher=The Embassy of France in Germany |date=7 May 2013 |accessdate=25 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150407005850/http://www.ambafrance-de.org/Harald-Schmidt-zum-Ritter-der |archive-date=April 7, 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

His first roles as a show host were in various radio shows at [[Radio Luxembourg (German)|Radio Luxembourg]], until in 1984 he began to appear regularly on TV ([[RTL Television|RTL]]).
