    Roche & Böhmermann was a talk show moderated by Charlotte Roche and Jan Böhmermann , which was produced in the wax factory in Cologne and broadcast weekly on ZDFkultur from March 4, 2012 . On January 28, 2013, the coordinator of ZDFkultur / 3sat Dinesh Kumari Chenchanna announced that the broadcast would not be continued; the reason given was disagreement between the parties involved.

    In 2016/17 the format was continued again with the new co-presenter Olli Schulz as Schulz & Böhmermann on ZDFneo .

    concept

    The show described itself with the words "A talk show in the style of early television, just remade". Specifically, this meant, for example, that guests were allowed to smoke, make phone calls and drink alcohol during the program. In addition, there was an announcer ( William Cohn ) who announced the program as such and also commented on the performances of the individual guests. The guests sat at a sparsely lit round table and were marked with name tags. Instead of the clip-on microphones that are common today, there was a Sennheiser MD 441 on the table in front of each participant , a model that was widely used in earlier talk shows. In the middle of the table was a button for self-censorship , which ensured that the TV viewer only heard a beep, but not what was said. The moderators also had the option of “rewinding” the program or having a conversation among themselves. After the actual discussions with the guests, the moderators were shown, who drew a brief summary of the program that had just ended.

    reception

    After it began, the show was received differently by the features section. Tobias Rüther praised the concept of the show in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , which he called “intimate scenery”. In order to achieve the actual quality of talk shows from the 1960s, however, the show had to focus on more intensive discussions. "Perhaps that would also mean taking 'Roche & Böhmermann' as a format more seriously than the two moderators themselves want," he concluded.

    The guests “just have nothing to say”, topics “lazily line up”, says Christopher Pramstaller in the Süddeutsche Zeitung . However, he praised Jan Böhmermann's willingness to discuss and attested that the program could work if the moderators found the "balance between mere friendliness and a lot of riot, which is more than a small joke on the edge".

    Beate Hausbichler criticized the “pithy surface” and the compulsion to be politically incorrect in the standard . The program brings "pseudo-taboo breaks", "which, like Böhmermann, hide behind a cowardly irony facade that leaves the other person in the dark: shameful or serious?"

    According to Matthias Kalle , the show is a great “destruction machine” because it destroys the expectations of the audience, the guests and “probably partly also the… [of] ZDF”. In an article for ZEITmagazin about German television in September 2012, Kalle described the show as the “best talk show criticism”, it was a “great staging to unmask the industry mechanisms.”

    The presenters received the journalist of the year 2012 award in the entertainment category for the show . The reason stated that the show was an "exception in the uniform German talk show assembly line production".

    The show was nominated for the 2013 Grimme Prize in the entertainment category, but did not receive the award.

    The audience ratings for the first season averaged 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent of 14 to 49-year-olds and were thus well above the channel average of 0.1 percent in each case. The second season increased to an average of 0.3 and 0.5 percent.

    Awards

    On October 2, 2012, the producers Philipp Käßbohrer and Matthias Murmann received the German Television Award .

    2nd season

    episode First broadcast
    (ZDF Mediathek / ZDFkultur)    		 Broadcast (3sat) Guests Others
    10. 1./2. September 2012 September 6, 2012 Markus Lanz , Jessica Schwarz , Eko Fresh , Charles M. Huber , Konstantin Gropper It was given the impression that the show would be broadcast after the summer break with a new stage design and a concept that was a little more adapted to mass tastes. The old setting was then restored during the broadcast.
    11. 8/9 September 2012 September 13, 2012 Max Herre , Jennifer Weist , Mark Benecke , Ferris MC , Peter Berling During the broadcast, based on ranking shows , situation-related comments were shown by Fiona Erdmann , Helmut Zerlett and Katrin Bauerfeind, among others .
    12. 15./16. September 2012 20th September 2012 Micaela Schäfer , Olli Schulz , Markus Kavka , Sebastian Frankenberger , Ranga Yogeshwar The show was sponsored by Jan Böhmermann's fictional soft drink "Glump". For this purpose, among other things, two spoofing sponsorship spots were broadcast and the guests were given the drink instead of the usual whiskey. The original title music in the intro has been replaced by an interpretation by the Swedish brass band The Babe Russell Band .
    13. 22./23. September 2012 September 27, 2012 Jeannine Michaelsen , Udo Vetter , Hans Sarpei , Manuel Possible , Rolf Eden The obligatory intro was replaced by a clip on the subject of "Internet Advice - Social Networks", moderated by William Cohn. For the first time, the opportunity was given to comment on the current program “live” via social channels such as Twitter and Facebook. However, since the program is being recorded, it can be guessed that it is not actually speaking from viewers. The censorship button has been replaced by a variety of bizarre internet videos. In addition, the fade-in of the controls of the YouTube player and the pausing of the "playback" gave the impression that the program was being watched on YouTube.
    14th 29./30. September 2012 October 11, 2012 Christopher Lauer , Anna Thalbach , Roberto Blanco , Andreas Kieling , Christian Berkel The motto of the show was "Halloween". The intro therefore completed William Cohn in a Dracula costume. A locked wooden box was deposited on the table, the key of which Jan Böhmermann carried on a chain around his neck. During the broadcast, this was shown repeatedly in close-ups and accompanied by mysterious music. At the end of the broadcast, Böhmermann began to open the box; however, the contents of the box - with reference to a sequel - were not shown.
    15th 6./7. October 2012 October 18, 2012 Silke Burmester , Joachim Germany , Katharina Schüttler and Constanze Kurz Sahra Wagenknecht canceled her appearance on the talk show at short notice and her seat was not filled. Roche and Böhmermann exchanged places during the broadcast. In the following, however, shots from the long shot were mirrored to give the impression that they had not switched places. The intro is replaced by the song Kiss by Prince .
    16. 13./14. October 2012 Uwe Boll , Marusha , Curse , Jana B. and Viktor Leberecht

    The title music in the intro has been replaced by an interpretation by Brandt Brauer Frick . The censorship button in the middle of the table became a "vibration button" that happened to vibrate a chair of the guests, but this effect was only seen in Jana B. and weakened in Curse.

    17th 20./21. October 2012 November 1, 2012 Best of the second season

    Cessation of production

    From March 3, 2013, a third season should run again at 10:00 p.m. on ZDFkultur. Contrary to the announcement that the episodes would also be repeated on the main ZDF broadcaster, ZDF announced the discontinuation of the format on January 28th. According to ZDF, the reason for this was disagreement between the parties involved.
