Nothing to laugh about in “Nuhr im Zweit”
You can find Dieter Nuhr and his guests funny or not – but do you have to satirize a whole show of the comedians to demonstrate your own rejection? Jan Böhmermann did it. Was that brilliant, somehow funny or just defamatory?

Jan Böhmermann’s “ZDF Magazin Royale” has just won another Grimme Prize – the award was justified with the playful alternation between information and entertainment. The show from the Friday before last was less about information and more about the pastiche of some comedians.
“Nuhr in the second” was the show that Dieter Nuhr’s program copied in the first – but only inaccurately. Because the ZDF version was supposed to unmask Nuhr and some guests – including, for example, a comedienne named “Millie Probst”, who can easily be recognized as Lisa Eckhart. As disguised southpaws with lame gags about wokeness and other zeitgeist phenomena.
In this edition of our podcast “Die Medien-Woche” we talk about “Nuhr im Zwei”: did the persiflage gain knowledge, or was it just about using a few obvious enemy images and also making fun of Dieter Nuhr’s audience close?
We also talk about the strategy statement by ProSiebenSat.1 boss Bert Habets, who is now putting entertainment at the center of the group. The streaming platform Joyn will play a central role in this. However, the strategy is not that new, given the long-standing broadcaster motto “We love to entertain you”.
Finally, we take a look at the call from numerous tech gurus, such as Elon Musk and Stephen Wozniak, who want to put a stop to the rapid development of artificial intelligence for at least six months to set goals and rules for the technology. Would that be a good idea?
