People sang along and laughed a lot …
Florian Silbereisen’s “Schlagerboom” was not only on stage on Saturday evening for the greats of the German-speaking music scene. The ARD show also became the summit meeting of our comedy giants. Among them cult comedian Dieter Hallervorden (86), who gave a very special joke.
The live spectacle had to pause for two years due to Corona. The host was celebrated all the more frenetically by his audience (all vaccinated or recovered). Happy that things are finally going again, the moderator called into the crowd: “Do you want to celebrate the hit 2021 again as it is only celebrated during the hit boom?” In keeping with the motto “Everything sparkles! Everything glitters! ”, Countless cell phone lights illuminated the Dortmund Westfalenhalle.

Silbereisen’s guest list was peppered with big names: DJ Ötzi (50), Roland Kaiser (69), Marianne Rosenberg (66), Ben Zucker (38), Michelle (49), Andreas Gabalier (39) and many others loved the fans beat faster. Germany’s elite comedians also did the honors.
Entertainer Hape Kerkeling (56) presented two songs from his new record. He told Florian Silbereisen: “20 years ago I walked the Way of St. James. The book came out 15 years ago. Now I feel like singing again. “

Otto Waalkes (73) made people laugh with his Frisian drinking song. For this he had specially rewritten the classic “Greek Wine”.
Dieter Hallervorden shot the bird. Like the others, he was also supposed to answer audience questions that Silbereisen read from the slip of paper. Someone wanted to know the comedian’s favorite joke. He did not take long to ask and asked the moderator mischievously: “Do you know a one-eyed mammal with a 30 centimeter long tail?”
Silbereisen had to pass. Then Hallervorden covered one eye with a grin. Flori, who quickly got the gag, snorted immediately. His guest had actually aimed cheekily below the belt. The moderator, while he was barely able to cope with anything else: “Mr. Hallervorden! Herr Hallervorden! ”He hadn’t expected this punch line.
At the end of his show, Silbereisen pulled an ace up his sleeve. Volks-Rock’n’Roller Andreas Gabalier transformed the hall again into a sea of lights.
