Emcee
A conférencier [ kõferã'sie: ] (female form: Conférencière , in German also Conférencieuse ; French “speaker”, “lecturer”) is a humorous announcer in variety shows , cabarets , revues , shows , television or radio programs . In addition to his moderating role, he also performs anecdotes , poems and chansons himself. In this he differs from the moderator , who lacks these own contributions. A well-known representation of a conférencier can be found in the musical " Cabaret ".
The emcees reached their peak in importance in the 1920s and 1930s during the heyday of cabarets, variety shows and revues. In Austria, cabaret developed in the 1920s through Karl Farkas and Fritz Grünbaum, the double conference . Successful emcees were z. B. Willy Schaeffers , the humorist Heinz Erhardt or the show masters Peter Alexander , Rudi Carrell , Peter Frankenfeld , OF Weidling , Heinz Quermann , Jonny Buchardt , Heinz Conrads and Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff . Not to forget: women like Helga Hahnemann . Many today's entertainers, such as Harald Schmidt, see themselves as a master of the ceremony.
