A week ago, the German YouTube channel “STRG_F” revealed in a report, like the TV joke Joko Winterscheidt (41) and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (36) in their programs Trick “Late Night Berlin” and “Duel Around the World”. The protagonists are said to be almost all amateur actors. Although scenes seem real, there is usually a script behind them.
–
For example, a legendary sketch from Heufer-Umlauf’s program “Late Night Berlin”, in which the moderator poses a bike thief. However, the thief was an initiated actor.
–
While the production company of the two moderators admitted to have helped, Joko and Klaas themselves have so far been silent on the fake allegations. Until now: Klaas Heufer-Umlauf addressed the cheats on Monday in “Late Night Berlin” – and apologized.

“We are not journalists”
“Of course, our first reflex was to say that we’re only doing nonsense television here,” he said. «And for God’s sake, we are not journalists who are now exclusively committed to the truth. We are Joko and Klaas, we sewed our mouths shut, we sprayed a donut on our foreheads. »
–
The moderator continues: “We don’t make any documentations or reports and we also do and show things that you and you should pull out of everyday life. That is the main goal. » They would exaggerate and dramatize things for a better punch line. “A lot of what happens in television studios and a lot of what was mentioned in this report is rightly part of a production called Entertainment.”
–
“It won’t happen anymore”
In individual cases, they were “overshot this goal” – for example with the bicycle thief. Heufer-Umlauf admitted that the case was “clearly presented so differently that it cannot be wiped away with such a simple‹ is just entertainment ›.”
–
He apologized: “I can also understand anyone who has been disappointed. I would like to apologize, seriously and without any irony. That was a mistake without ifs and buts and will not happen again. We and everyone who works with us on our shows loves television, loves to present things that are as spectacular, funny or often super stupid as possible. »
–
The mistakes you made were not made out of “cynicism, contempt for viewers or laziness,” says the TV star. “There were isolated cases in which we did not want to see that reality is less exciting than what we like to see on the show stage.” (kad)
