Die Wochenshow	comment	Die Wochenshow was a German Sketch Comedy show, originally broadcasted from 1996 to 2002 on Sat.1, and one of the most popular German comedy shows of its era. The show was mainly a News Parody, but also parodied other show formats you need hosts for, mostly specially themed talk shows. The title is an allusion to Wochenschau, the German term for weekly newsreel, and also to the fact that there was a new episode once weekly.Ingolf Lück was the anchorman and Anke Engelke played the co-anchorwoman, but of course they and a bunch of other comedians also assumed quite a number of other roles. Most of the cast are still well known to the German audience.Has been revived in March 2011, with Ingolf Lück as the only member of the old cast reprising his role(s).

Die Wochenshow / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Averted most of the time with characters named exactly like the people they are a parody of, although sometimes the names are slightly changed due to the Rule of Funny (e.g. Sabine Christiansen —> Christiane Sabinsen).
