Biography

    • Jan Böhmermann is a German satirist and television host whose show, "ZDF Magazin Royale," often tackles pressing sociopolitical topics with a distinctively modern sensibility. Known for his incisive humor and firm stance on progressive ideals, he has garnered attention for addressing societal issues others might shy away from-sometimes leaving audiences divided over whether his commentary enlightens or alienates. His work often walks the fine line between provocative satire and moral instruction, ensuring that his voice remains impossible to ignore, for better or for worse.

Trivia

  • Has acknowledged that he is reluctant to discuss his personal life in interviews. He did disclose, however, that he is the father of several children and that his own father died of leukemia when Böhmermann was 17.
  • Has stated that not wearing his glasses when on television means people do not recognize him as easily when he is going about his personal life.
  • His father was a policeman.
  • He does not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, partly due to idolizing Farin Urlaub, who leads a similar lifestyle, as a teenager.

Quotes

  • [on Donald Trump's meeting with Angela Merkel] All the media was like 'Oh my God, is he going to grab her by the pussy?' ...We were pretty surprised, he did not even grab her by the hand.
  • [How do you make your pale skin look like that?] I peel it a lot... with Domestos.
  • Irony serves to keep things that would touch your heart too much away from yourself, in order for you to take time with the processing.
  • [...so, are you also in a party mood for this evening?] Definitely. I have already drunk a coke. And later I maybe want to drink something really wild, a Vitamalz. And then I will pick up some hot bank director's daughter, in the town hall of Marl, and will have a beautiful evening.
  • One also has to be regarded as shit by the right people.
