German comedian Karl Dall dies

Dall had taken on the role of old rock star Richie Sky on the ARD daily series “Rote Rosen” since early November. In Lüneburg, where the soap opera is being filmed, on November 11 he suffered a stroke with a brain hemorrhage. Dall had started his career in the group Insterburg & Co. Later he moderated television talk shows as a stupid bard and joke, he hit the charts with hits such as “This record is a hit” and “Millions of women me. aman “and was in front of the camera as an actor in mostly minor roles for various comedies. The entertainer has not had his own TV show like the formats “Dall-As” (1985-1991 on RTL) and “Jux und Dallerei” (1992-1994) on Sat.1 for a long time.

Droopy eyelid and large flap

Hanging eyelids, big mouths, and always a clever joke – comedian Karl Dall has taken showbiz by storm with strange humor. “Up Close and All” is what he called his autobiography, and that is exactly what featured guests on his talk shows like “Dall-As” often said to each other when the TV comedian teased them again arrogantly and he distributed them correctly. At first it was ignored, then criticized and finally declared a cult, he summed it up himself. “Everybody wanted to sit down at the table with Dall and be fooled; if you weren’t there, you’re not in the show business.”

Success on stage and on television

The most famous East Frisian comedian after his colleague Otto Waalkes, who was born in Emden, celebrated success on stage and on television. It didn’t seem like a race like this for a long time. The parents wanted to make him an official; the teacher’s son saw himself as a photographer or cameraman. After the unsuccessful exit from school, he dropped out of school in 10th grade, personal and parental dreams exploded. He was known as a class clown for this: “I didn’t think it was funny, but everyone laughed at me,” he said later.

Karl Dall becomes a professional comedian

He, who was teased as a child for his weak eyelid muscles, did the best he could and became a professional comedian. After an apprenticeship as a typographer and doing odd jobs, he met singer-songwriter Ingo Insterburg. 1967 saw the birth of the anarchist and humorous group Insterburg & Co (“I loved a girl”), which quickly became a insider tip on the student scene. Before the stupid group broke up in the late 1970s, Dall had made connections with television. He brought the “music store” to the screen, helped on Rudi Carrell’s “Batido” and played on “Do you understand the fun?” Phone jokes.
