Overview
- Andy Borg presented a new episode of “Schlager-Spaß” on December 6 on SWR/MDR from Baden-Baden with a lineup of musical guests.
- During a segment about Salvatore Adamo, guest Reiner Kirsten cut in with claims of over 130 million records sold and more than 500 songs written, then traded a birthday joke with Borg before the host ended the chatter on-air.
- Truck Stop musician Knut Bewersdorff said he once gave his wife a high-pressure cleaner, prompting applause and a playful on-air appeal from Borg to viewers’ spouses to appreciate such gifts.
- Coverage cites the SWR/MDR broadcast as the source and notes the show aired opposite ZDF’s “Ein Herz für Kinder” and RTL’s “Denn sie wissen nicht, was passiert,” which featured Thomas Gottschalk’s TV farewell.
- In a separate moment, Borg joked about bypassing SWR bureaucracy to honor a viewer’s song request that had been addressed to the broadcaster itself.
