Famous episodes

Kerkeling achieved great fame due to its versatility. In various comic roles in which he shocked his inexperienced victims with a hidden camera , he delighted critics and audiences alike. So he played disguised as an Iranian chess grandmaster (and supported over the radio by chess master Elisabeth Pähtz ) simultaneous chess against players from the chess department of FC Bayern Munich . Disguised as Marzahner allotment gardener Rico Mielke, he made life difficult for the former Berlin Senator for the Interior, Heinrich Lummer, in a talk show. He accompanied the trumpeter Stefan Mross for a whole day in the role of a childish Viennese folk music fan and brought the well-known musician into impossible situations. Disguised as a Finnish singer of the fictional rap group RIP Uli he entered the VIVA telecast Interactive at Milka Loff Fernandes on. Another highlight was his appearance as a Lithuanian soccer coach, who was supposed to replace the then coach Klaus Augenthaler at the Grazer AK , in a press conference in front of surprised local journalists. Shortly after the conference, the players were informed of the sudden change of coach and the first "training units" began immediately. After only a few minutes, the players left the pitch, whereupon the whole thing was cleared up to the journalists.
