Dieter Hallervorden views discussions as being akin to "peddling television programs"
Dieter "Didi" Hallervorden, born in Dessau in 1935, is a renowned figure in German entertainment, and his opinions carry weight. Recently, he has expressed his disapproval of current talk shows in Germany.
The veteran actor finds the current state of talk shows disappointing, particularly the lack of genuine verbal sparring and the focus on promotions. He prefers the past talk shows that featured polar opposing figures, which he believes created an electric atmosphere due to the tension between them.
Hallervorden cites examples of heated debates between figures like Herbert Wehner (SPD) and Franz Josef Strauß, or Willy Brandt and Helmut Kohl, as examples of the intense and controversial discussions he misses in today's talk shows.
He questions how tension can arise when people sit together who have nothing to do with each other. People, according to Hallervorden, have no connection with each other, and no real conversation takes place in current talk shows. Instead, they are primarily used for book promotions, film promotions, and political party program presentations.
The actor, who will turn 90 on September 5th, is responsible for three theaters: the Schlosspark Theater in Berlin, the cabaret "Die Wühlmäuse", and the Mitteldeutsche Theater in Dessauer Marienkirche, which he opened in 2022.
Hallervorden rarely watches television, but he criticizes current talk shows as being sales shows, lacking the focus on real conversations that he values. He finds the past talk shows more authentic and engaging, with a focus on genuine discussions rather than promotions.
Throughout his career, Hallervorden has appeared in films like "His Last Race" and "Honig im Kopf", and he wrote television history in the 70s with sketches in "Nonstop Nonsens". Despite his disapproval of modern talk shows, his contributions to the German entertainment industry remain significant and influential.
