Trivia

In December 2003 Harald Schmidt announced the ending of the show (although he called it a "creative pause"). This was very surprising because he said several times before that he wanted to do the show for as long as possible. It is still not clear why he cancelled the show, although rumors are that he disliked the new Sat1 Chief.

User Reviews

Best in German Late Night Comedy

It's the best, and it'll always be. Harald Schmidt is the first one in German TV to have a Late Night Talk Show, and though there are more shows planned, I'm sure that his will stay the best one. Not without reason Schmidt is called "Dirty Harry".

This show can best be compared with "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", so if you like that show, you'll certainly also like the "Harald Schmidt Show" (nevertheless you should speak German).
