Life

Childhood and youth

Hape Kerkeling was born in Recklinghausen in 1964 as the son of a carpenter and a florist . For the first few years he grew up in the rural Bockholt district of Recklinghausen before the family moved to the city in the early 1970s. Kerkeling spent a large part of his early childhood in his maternal grandmother's corner shop in Herten- Scherlebeck, a western suburb of Recklinghausen. After his mother's suicide in 1973, after she lost her sense of smell and taste after surgery, his paternal grandparents moved in with his father, brother and him. His grandfather's family comes from the Netherlands ; hence the family name, which in German can be translated as "Kirchner" (meaning 'living near a church').

Career beginnings

In 1984 Kerkeling passed the Abitur at the Marie-Curie-Gymnasium in Recklinghausen. In his school days he was an acolyte . With some of his classmates, including Achim Hagemann , he brought a record entitled Hawaii onto the market under the band name “Gesundfutter” . In 1977 the then twelve-year-old applied to Loriot for the role of the chubby child Dicki in the Christmas sketch at Hoppenstedts . However, the role was given to Katja Bogdanski.

He had his first television appearance at the age of 17 in the talent shed . He appeared in various talent competitions and in 1983 won the Passau Cabaret Prize Executioner Ax, which was awarded for the first time . He worked for various broadcasters , including WDR and BR . On December 17, 1984, the 30-minute single program Kerkelings Kinderstunde produced by Radio Bremen was broadcasted its first own television format. The program revolves around the everyday life of the preschooler Hannilein and his family, with Kerkeling playing all the characters.

Kerkeling's breakthrough came with his music and sketch show Kangaroo , which was first broadcast on January 31, 1985 . This was followed by guest appearances and skits (with Margarethe Schreinemakers, among others ) in the Radio Bremen program Extratour . In his biography, Kerkeling mentions that Otto Waalkes made a huge contribution to the start of his career by introducing him to the right people.

Totally normal and cinema debut

From 1989 to 1991 Kerkeling moderated the German preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest on ARD . The German-Austrian feud at this event always led him to the satirical greeting "... and also to our neighbors over there in ... Austria", which was supposed to remind of the greeting of the GDR viewers on western television .

In 1989, together with the pianist Achim Hagemann and Angelo Colagrossi , Kerkeling co-wrote a comedy format for his media-critical program Total Normal , for which he was awarded the Golden Camera , the Adolf Grimme Prize and the Bavarian Television Prize. Two actions in particular are remembered years after the show ended: on April 25, 1991, disguised as Queen Beatrix , Kerkeling managed to pull up in front of the camera in a car before the real queen arrived at Bellevue Palace. In addition, Kerkeling wore the "expressive piece" Hurz! In the mask of a Polish opera singer to accompany Hagemann's piano . before, a parody of new music , which resulted in the loud and sudden exclamation “Hurz!”. The uninitiated audience was not sure of the seriousness of the performance, but afterwards tried to have a polite discussion of the piece. One participant said that the piece seemed "strange" to her and could hardly be classical music; Kerkeling then replied deliberately snooty that she probably lacked "intellectual access". Oomph! was released as a single in 1992. The motto song of another episode, The Whole Life is a Quiz , made it into the German hit lists as a single release. The song was a cover version of the Italian song Sì, la vita è tutta un quiz (1988).

On December 10, 1991 , the filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim outed Kerkeling and other celebrities in the RTLplus talk show Explosiv - The Hot Chair as homosexual . Hape Kerkeling commented on the subsequent media hype, especially in the tabloids , with the words:

“People who are more sensitive than me would probably have laid down in the bathtub with the hair dryer. What the hell. Tomorrow they will drive another pig through the village. "

A few years later (2014), Kerkeling's assessment of the outing campaign was milder:

“It wasn't right to do it then. But from today's perspective it wasn't wrong. "

In 1993, Kerkeling's first feature film was released, the media satire Kein Pardon , for which he worked as a director and actor at the same time and for which he co-wrote the script . In 2011 a musical version of the film premiered. After that, Kerkeling returned to television. First he went with the program Cheese (January to April 1994, 13 episodes), which was based on a concept similar to Total Normal , to the private broadcaster RTL . After this first failure in Kerkeling's career, he switched back to ARD and presented three other unsuccessful formats: Warmumsherz (October to December 1995, 6 episodes), Zappenduster (January to April 1997, 13 episodes) and Gisbert (May to June 1999, 6 episodes). During that time, Kerkeling continued to make several television films: Club Las Piranjas (1995), Willi and the Windzors (1996) and The Grandma Is Dead (1997).

The world laughs at that

It was not until 1999 that Kerkeling was successful again on television with the Sat.1 program Das Welt laughs .

He entered as a Finnish singer of the fictional rap group RIP Uli in VIVA telecast Interactive at Milka Loff Fernandes and as allotment holders Rico Mielke in a discussion program of Heinrich Lummer on. In another campaign he appeared as the Lithuanian soccer coach Albertas Klimawiszys, who was supposed to replace the then coach Klaus Augenthaler at the Grazer AK . For Sat.1 he moderated the annual donation gala for the German AIDS Foundation several times . At the CDU party congress in May 2000, disguised as an Italian ice cream seller, he tried to serve Angela Merkel a sundae of “Copacabana” ice cream while she was speaking on the podium in front of the hall.

The removal of his gall bladder and a sudden hearing loss prompted Kerkeling to take a short break. In June and July pilgrimage Kerkeling 2001 630 kilometers on the northern Spanish Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela . From 2002 to 2007 he directed the live music comedy program with the title “Mir ist sehr komisch” by Isabel Varell and Christian Heckelsmüller. For the moderation of The 70s Show on RTL , he was awarded the German Television Prize in 2003 in the category Best Moderation Entertainment . 2003 turned Kerkeling again a movie titled Samba in Mettmann , which in Westphalia North Rhine- Mettmann plays. The film flopped in the cinemas when it premiered in January 2004 and was far less commercially successful than Kein Pardon , but was successfully broadcast on RTL and brought the Cologne broadcaster a market share of 23.5% in the advertising-relevant target group .

He is happy to offer his counterpart one of the bottles of Doornkaat he always carries with him to drink from the brotherhood , even if it is about celebrities such as ex-Defense Minister Peter Struck , actor Ottfried Fischer or presenter Günther Jauch.

The program was broadcast as part of Hapes Magical Christmas on December 17, 2010 on RTL.

Rico Mielke's style is characterized above all by his spirited manner, with which he himself discusses problems that are basically ridiculous.
