Only the right urine jet is important

Only the right stream of urine is important

In his Late Night Show, Harald Schmidt threw a poisonous cynicism into the daily news for 19 years – which makes him easier to digest. He was mistaken at celebrating celebrities as well as busy bodies. That he himself had never been suspected of pomposity was due to his rhetorical agility, his rhythm, his humanistic upbringing. Those who wanted to register with Schmidt broke it.

On Saturday, the philosopher Franz Schuh often risked being invaded by the gifted cynic of the Salzkammergut Festival at Stadttheater Gmunden. After just under an hour, a man in the audience complained of "abnormally bad interview". Some applauded. Schmidt suspected organized provocation so that the shoe was not so humiliated.

And it all started: Schuh began by noting that Schmidt only gave meaningless interviews. Because the cart was half in the ground, because Schmidt's looks were always more than the sum of their gags. But they were not more than excellent timed entertainment, they should not be. So why the question of meaning? Because a philosopher can not do otherwise.

"Fuck the content!"

In Schmidt's show, Schuh would have been cut, but no, Schmidt is a polite guest. In Gmunden, he only made a long answer: "For me, interviews are an impromptu form of theater, I'm trying out sentences, I say things because I like the pace, I try new content that I need to clarify at home no one is surprised when he says: I have moved out and now lived with my tax consultant. "He could say n & # 39; anything, "I do not run as an expert". "Fuck the happy!" Was his creed. It seems flirty – that's all. In any case, private channels would do the same. This is not the program, but the return of their investors. Schmidt: "Marx is important, but only for the level of work." In the sold-out theater of the city, we laughed cheerfully. And: "Yes," Schmidt speculates on the stock market, but "no" to follow with the old employers, he is boring.

Bad conscience?

Television was first a vehicle to make itself known as a cabaret artist. "And you can not do that if you do not step on anyone's feet, but only on the part of the federal president," said Schmidt. What does he mean by that? "If you lean out the window from 8000 net euros a month, that's it, that's what I think is a fair business foundation." Bad conscience? I do not know Schmidt. Shoe diagnosed a sort of jester who had become "the gentleman of the media aristocracy" and Schmidt shook himself: "As long as the urine stream is going to fall, everything is fine."

In four-minute questions in which he emits gags According to Schmidt's shows, Schuh also wanted to keep up morale, but Schmidt was faster. He works as a dentist, "anyone with pain is treated." And he, the "creator of wealth privatized", said "we have not done all these thoughts". But because nastiness is part of the constitution in Austria, Schmidt likes to travel to Vienna.

After 70 minutes, the conversation was over. Bad? No. But for Schmidt ratios never really good
