After graduating from high school in 1966, he founded a. a. with Daniel Friedrich his quarter deck combo and was discovered by a record producer.

Then he switched to ZDF and received his own personality show there in 1972. Would you have time for me today? with numerous guest stars and solo appearances.

The BGH found that the German series of programs differed sufficiently from the format of the French broadcaster. Michael Schanze's moderation, which was decisive for the success, was particularly emphasized as a distinguishing feature. His child-friendly conversation in response to the children's spontaneous ideas is an independent creative achievement. Nevertheless, the show ran for the last time in November 2003.
