Overview

• Désirée Nick's May 16 appearance on MDR's 'Riverboat' featured a comedic re-enactment of a hospital scene with Stefan Mross and Axel Schulz.
• During the sketch, Nick attempted to remove Mross's leather pants, prompting host Kim Fisher to intervene, saying, 'Die Hose bleibt zu!'
• The viral moment comes as Nick prepares for her first scripted TV roles in BR's 'Dahoam is Dahoam' and 'In aller Freundschaft – Die jungen Ärzte,' debuting in early June.
• Nick, a classically trained actress and ballet dancer, spent 40 years applying for public-broadcast roles before securing these opportunities.
• She describes this transition as an 'Alterskarriere,' emphasizing age representation and breaking stereotypes in German media.
