Kessler ist… is a German television program that is broadcast on the ZDF program. It is an adaptation of the Israeli format How To Be . In the personality show, the comedian, entertainer and presenter Michael Kessler slips into the roles of various celebrities, where he is dressed up by make-up artists and with the help of body suits, in order to resemble his counterpart as closely as possible. Kessler's goal is to sit across from his counterpart in a "self-talk". Before doing this, he does extensive research on the person to be imitated.
