Dorfers Donnerstalk was a satirical late night talk show from Austria and was broadcast on ORF 1 and in the night program of 3sat . Some selected episodes were broadcast on Bayerischer Rundfunk , and the program was also shown regularly on 3sat.
concept
In the first two seasons, Alfred Dorfer hosted a talk show to which all kinds of celebrities from politics and society were invited; these celebrities were satirically exaggerated by Florian Scheuba . Dorfers Donnerstalk used an unusual director's idea from the start: all cameras were tied to a meter-high scaffolding with cords and thus allowed to swing freely without camera work. There was a 3-man combo there from the beginning, consisting of Günther Paal , Peter Herrmann and Lothar Scherpe , who were presented by Dorfer with a wide variety of names that were allusions to the respective program topic. Paal was also an "expert for everything anyway" an integral part of the program. Directed by David Schalko, who was also responsible for the camera concept. Michael Kogler later took over the image direction as part of the live recordings.
From the third season (broadcast from October 2005) the concept of the show was changed. Due to differences in content, Florian Scheuba was no longer there, instead there were guest appearances and film recordings by artists such as Josef Hader (first collaboration between Dorfer and Hader since their joint work in India ), Ottfried Fischer , Michael Mittermeier , Stermann & Grissemann , Christoph & Lollo or Clemens Haipl . Apart from the first two episodes, the series was still recorded in the Audimax of the University of Vienna .
From 2005, the maschek trio was a fixed point of every episode . , which re-synchronize selected TV programs of the ORF with exaggerated voices, so that the original program content is completely taken out of context and is reproduced satirically in a mostly political context.
The fourth season was broadcast on ORF1 and 3sat from October 5, 2006 and reached around 400,000 viewers per week on ORF. Monochrom was invited here, among others , and Christian Tramitz was also a guest in an episode to portray himself and the politician Jörg Haider as a single, divided personality.
The constant theme of the program was satirical criticism of Austrian politics, in particular of the right-wing conservative government under Wolfgang Schüssel and its media policy. In the third season of the show, the Moltofon , a direct line from Wilhelm Molterer to the television studio provided for political interventions , turned into a running gag . The company's own broadcaster, ORF, and its management were also occasionally parodied.
The episode, which should have been broadcast on the Thursday before the municipal council elections in Vienna in 2005 , was postponed by ORF to a date after the election. In this episode was the choice, but also the influence of the ÖVP on the ORF topic. The ORF justified the postponement with the fact that "in ORF entertainment programs, political content should [in principle] be left out shortly before an election". Above all, politicians from the Greens protested and suspected that the ruling ÖVP had pushed the move; the shift came as a surprise to Dorfer.
The first two regular episodes of Dorfers Donnerstalk were recorded on November 24, 2010 in the Orpheum in Graz and broadcast on November 25, 2010 and December 23, 2010 on ORF 1, respectively.
On Thursday, December 8, 2011, the ORF broadcast a special episode entitled Dorfers Donnerstalk - Jahresbilanz , in which Alfred Dorfer reviewed the past year and finally thanked his audience for the last eight years and finally said goodbye. This episode was recorded on December 6, 2011 in Vienna.
