Moderator

Beginnings at ARD

Schmidt made his first television experience in March 1988 with the broadcaster Free Berlin with the show MAZ! which was broadcast on the first from 1989 . In 1990 the programs Pssst… (a guessing show based on the model of the show Was bin ich? By Robert Lembke ) and Schmidt Each other , which he moderated with Herbert Feuerstein until December 1994, followed. Both programs were produced and broadcast by Westdeutscher Rundfunk . Schmidt each other and Pssst… were broadcast on Erste from 1994 and 1995 respectively. In February and March 2007 there was a new edition of Pssst… with twelve episodes in the early evening program , but they did not achieve the audience ratings expected. In 1990 he moderated an event of the SPD in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle , which took place after the attack on Oskar Lafontaine . He was on stage with Willy Brandt , Johannes Rau and Hans-Jochen Vogel .

From December 1992 to March 1993 there was a short interlude with the four-part show Gala , produced by Radio Bremen for ARD ! . From October 1992 to May 1995 he hosted the show Do you understand fun? which he had taken over from Paola and Kurt Felix with only moderate success. His comedy interludes did not get along with the entertainment that was customary at the time and made up for a wide audience.

December 5, 1995 to December 23, 2003 moderated Schmidt, the first from brain pool in Cologne Capitol produced Harald Schmidt Show . From August 1998 to December 2003 the show was then produced by Schmidt's Bonito company in Studio 449 in Cologne-Mülheim . Because of his often disrespectful and cynical humor, Schmidt was nicknamed Dirty Harry in the media , which he himself first circulated in an interview with Stern magazine .

The uninhibited way of dealing with his joke victims brought Schmidt a few complaints. For example, the former TV channel presenter Susan Stahnke resisted a contribution from the Harald Schmidt Show , in which an actress similar to Stahnke was shown in lingerie while allegedly filming a sex scene for a film called Basic-Instinct II . The film alluded to the plaintiff's plans, previously announced in the press, to pursue a career as a film actress in Hollywood.

In the first few years of the program, Poland jokes were also more often part of the program. In the words of his gag writer Ralf Kabelka, they corresponded to a “strong need to sound out new boundaries” and “to break conventions and taboos”. German journalists and cultural workers in Poland and the Polish magazine Polityka protested against the Poland jokes . Harald Schmidt was invited by the Polish ambassador Andrzej Byrt to get to know the reality in the neighboring country to the east. He accepted the invitation and since then has refrained from joking about Poland.

In December 1995, Bettina Böttinger was part of a picture puzzle. Schmidt showed an issue of the women's magazine Emma , Eierlikör , a toilet bowl and Bettina Böttinger and asked: “What do these four things have in common? Those are the four things that no man would touch voluntarily. ”As a result, he made new allusions to the homosexuality of the presenter, who finally came on his show and said that she was“ very hurt ”and then the studio immediately left again. Harald Schmidt initiated the outing of Bettina Böttinger around the turn of the year 1995/1996 . In Mr. Schmidt turns 50, but does not want to celebrate , that section was shown again. The director Monika Piel therefore wanted to hold a fundamental discussion with the editorial staff about the boundary between exaggeration in the service of satire and personal insults for the mere purpose of a gag: There would be “a discussion about appropriate ethical programming standards in WDR. In the comedy sector in particular, such discussions sharpen the boundaries between public and commercial programs ”.

Johannes B. Kerner was heavily criticized by Schmidt for a special broadcast on the rampage in Erfurt in 2002, because he had invited an eleven-year-old boy who had witnessed the crime. As the winner, Harald Schmidt canceled his participation in the presentation of the prestigious " Goldene Feder " media award on May 24, 2002 in Hamburg. Johannes B. Kerner was chosen as moderator for the award ceremony and Harald Schmidt declined to personally accept the media award from Kerner's hands in protest. Harald Schmidt sent a written rejection: "[...] In view of the recent external media impact of Johannes B. Kerner, under no circumstances can we imagine accepting a prize in his presence [...]".

On December 8, 2003, Harald Schmidt announced that he wanted to take a “creative break” after his late night show on Sat.1. As a result of the takeover of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG by Haim Saban , the then managing director of Sat.1, Martin Hoffmann , with whom Schmidt maintained a friendly relationship, had been dismissed a few days earlier . According to a report by Der Spiegel magazine , the then ProSiebenSat.1 CEO Urs Rohner received express instructions from Saban not to dismiss Hoffmann until after the upcoming contract extension with Harald Schmidt. The negotiations were delayed, Rohner dismissed Hoffmann early, and Schmidt did not extend his contract. According to Manuel Andrack, there were other possible reasons for the end of the show: On the one hand, it was suspected that Schmidt wanted more money and production was then stopped. Andrack also explains that Schmidt was “burned out” at the time and needed a break. In his opinion, the main reason was the establishment of a fifth weekly program from summer 2003, which led to an overload. Harald Schmidt relativized this statement in an interview with Hoffmann's successor, Roger Schawinski , but also confirmed there that he had been “pumped out” and understood the change at the top of the transmitter as a signal, but that Schawinski was not the reason for leaving.

The successor on the same slot was on May 17, 2004, Anke Engelke with her show Anke Late Night , which was discontinued on October 21, 2004 due to poor ratings. During his one-year break, Harald Schmidt went on a world tour and did a cabaret tour with Manuel Andrack .

Return to ARD

The first pre-release of his new late-night show Harald Schmidt on ARD was broadcast on December 23, 2004 - exactly one year after Schmidt's last Sat.1 broadcast. The first regular episode of the show aired on January 19, 2005. According to estimates by the Swiss media service “Klein Report”, Schmidt's production company received a total of eight million euros from ARD for 60 programs per year, which corresponds to a production budget of around 133,000 euros per show (including Schmidt's moderation fee).

Harald Schmidt, 2010

In addition to the moderation of his show Harald Schmidt , Schmidt appeared again and again in the following years as a moderator of various other programs. From February 12th to 26th, 2006, he and the sports reporter Waldemar Hartmann presented the 60-minute ARD program Olympia with Waldi & Harry , which was broadcast on the broadcast days of the ARD during the 2006 Winter Olympics . On May 15, 2006, Schmidt acted as a guest presenter for the television magazine Report Mainz , which, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary, was ironically self-critical. Together with Eva Padberg , Schmidt moderated the Bambi Awards of Hubert Burda Media on November 30, 2006 , which took place for the first time in the new Mercedes-Benz World in Stuttgart and was broadcast live on ARD. The Bambi Awards 2007 and 2008 were also moderated by Schmidt. After a “trial application” on his ARD show, where he moderated part of the ZDF news magazine as a rehearsal for a “vacation replacement”, Harald Schmidt presented a contribution as a “guest presenter” on April 19, 2007 in the Today Journal . 4.24 million viewers saw the program.

From October 25, 2007, Schmidt performed the program Schmidt & Pocher alongside comedian Oliver Pocher . In an interview with the news magazine Der Spiegel , Schmidt stated after the last issue of Harald Schmidt in June 2007 that he was "finished" with the format of a late-night show broadcast several times a week and that he would rather leave this to his colleague Oliver Pocher. In April 2009 Schmidt and Pocher ended their collaboration. From September 2009 it was back on the air with a revised format by Harald Schmidt .

On September 22, 2008, Schmidt took over the post of editor-in-chief of this program for one day on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of NDR Info . In September 2010 it was announced that Harald Schmidt had not extended his contract with ARD, which was valid until 2011, but instead signed with Sat.1. Schmidt gave the newspaper Die Zeit as a reason that there had been little contact with ARD and that he understood this as a signal.

Continuation of the Harald Schmidt Show

On September 13, 2011, the first edition of the Harald Schmidt Show , reissued on Sat.1, was broadcast, which was shown on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with the familiar concept at 11:15 p.m. At the beginning of January 2012, the Harald Schmidt Show received an additional slot and has been running from Tuesdays to Thursdays at 11:15 p.m. In March 2012, Sat.1 announced that the show would be discontinued due to poor audience ratings.

From the summer of 2000, he praised the advantages of an Internet and DSL connection in Swabian TV spots on T-Online . In January 2001, he posed as an advertising figure without a fee in a nationwide magazine advertisement for the German Scout Foundation . As of 2002, there was an annual television commercial series with Schmidt as a prominent testimonial for the brand Nescafé company Nestlé . In 2003, 2004 and again from July 2006, Schmidt was an avowed hypochondriac advertising partner of the German generic drug manufacturer Hexal . In the first few years, the spots were produced entirely by Schmidt's company Bonito TV, like Schmidt's TV advertising appearances for the KarstadtQuelle department store chain (2002) and Deutsche Bahn AG (2003).

In January 2006, the Munich market research institute Imas International published a nationwide survey, according to which only 36 percent of Germans consider Harald Schmidt to be a likeable advertising figure, in contrast to Günther Jauch , who did the best and achieved a sympathy rate of 69%. In the spring of 2006, Schmidt promoted colonoscopies in the Felix Burda Foundation's “ Colon Cancer Month March ” campaign . From October 2006, Schmidt dubbed a male domestic pig in 14 TV spots as an advertising character for the Saubillig campaign of the Media Markt , and his voice could be heard in the company's radio spots. Although Schmidt did not appear personally in this campaign, it caused a nationwide sensation.
