Am 31. Oktober 1517, hat Martin Luther in Wittenberg seine Thesen angeschlagen, vermutlich ohne zu ahnen, was er da lostritt. Nun ist aus viel Wut und einem Stück Papier "ein ganzer Glaube" geworden, was unsereinen vom "normalen Glauben" mehr fuchst, als wir zugeben. Es ist Zeit, endlich mal ein offenes Wort miteinander zu wechseln und die Abtrünnigen darauf hinzuweisen, was sie an uns alles verloren haben: das fängt bei der Beichte an und hört bei den Reliquien auf, die "der Protestant" nicht hat.

2017 - was für ein irres Jahr! Ein twitterndes Tourette-Syndrom, Pulled-Pork-Pummelchen Kim und der dauerbeleidigte Bosporusse Erdogan zetern um die Wette. Und bei uns? Schulz. Scholz. Schicksalswahl. Abgasskandale, Leitkultur im Lutherjahr, die AfD im Bundestag und Schäuble, der eiserne Ritter der schwarzen Null wird oberster Glöckchen-Bimmler im Bundestag. TILT! - Der legendäre Jahresrückblick des Pointen-Cowboys Priol geht in die nächste Runde, wie immer irre, skurril und gnadenlos witzig.

Gianni Canova, critico cinematografico, giornalista, scrittore, saggista e accademico italiano, professore ordinario all'università IULM di Milano, legge il suo saggio con cui analizza il successo dei film di Checco Zalone, la maschera comica più potente dell'Italia contemporanea, con una inedita introduzione in esclusiva audio. "Checco Zalone ha ridato al cinema la sua potenza sociale. Ha fatto uscire di casa gli italiani e li ha riportati nel buio delle sale. Nella luce del cinema."

Wie findet man sich in einer Welt zurecht, in der es auf komplizierte Fragen so verdächtig einfache Antworten gibt und auf einfache Fragen so verdächtig komplizierte Antworten? In "Pelzig stellt sich" lässt der Kabarettist Frank-Markus Barwasser seine Kunstfigur einmal mehr als Fragesteller auftreten, denn fragende Zweifler sind ihm näher als Besserwisser. Sein Programm ist ein Ritt durch die inneren Widersprüche von Politik, Ökonomie und Gesellschaft.

Horst Evers' Geschichten sind zu 100 Prozent wahr, aber nicht alles ist genau so passiert.

Eigentlich stets darum bemüht, ohne großen Aufwand durch den Musikeralltag zu manövrieren, hat er doch (oder gerade deswegen?) viele fröhliche Anekdoten gesammelt. Er berechnet das Pro-Ton-Einkommen von Geigern und Tubisten, schwärmt vom Vorteil, einen Einbrecher im Haus zu haben, und berichtet von Tour-Erlebnissen mit seiner Band LaBrassBanda.

Millions of viewers know and love Bob Saget from his role as the sweetly neurotic father on the smash hit Full House, and as the charming wisecracking host of America's Funniest Home Videos. And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats.

As far back as he can remember James Corden has only ever wanted to be in one place: in front of you, doing something to make you laugh, cry, shout, or giggle uncontrollably. At the age of 4, he grandstanded throughout his baby sister’s christening, standing on a chair in front of the whole congregation, pulling faces and cracking everyone up. Despite himself, the vicar was impressed. And from then on he couldn’t get enough of the spotlight, even when it always seemed to avoid him. Throughout his teens, he and his Dad trudged up and down towards London....
