48th Comedy Night

Michael Genähr has two carefully cultivated receding hairlines and the irresistible charm of a vacuum cleaner salesman. He can babble unstoppably and yet hold the reins of events in his hand in such an authoritative way. Someone like that should be a talk show host. Or a cabaret artist. And again and again this Michael Genähr; he turns the evening into a satire on the rites of the German entertainment industry. After the camouflage of "Titanic" editor Bernd Fritz on Thomas Gottschalk, Genähr should present the "Grand Prix". With his wicked jokes, the man should be unleashed on a real television audience.
