a band (<i>Gesundfutter</i>, meaning: health food) and published a record (<i>Hawaii</i>). </p><p>Kerkeling started his career as a comedian in radio, working for various German broadcasting companies, such as <a href="/wiki/Westdeutscher_Rundfunk" title="Westdeutscher Rundfunk">WDR</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bayerischer_Rundfunk" title="Bayerischer Rundfunk">BR</a>. </p><p>His breakthrough came in 1984/85 when, still aged only 19, he got a role in the <i>Känguru</i>  [<i><a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a></i>] <a href="/wiki/Television_comedy" title="Television comedy">television comedy</a> show (the German word for <i><a href="/wiki/Kangaroo" title="Kangaroo">kangaroo</a></i> deliberately spelt without an "h" at the end although this broke the spelling rules at that time). The best-known character in this show was the little boy <i>Hannilein</i>, played by Kerkeling, an irritating child with red hair in a pudding-basin style, <a href="/wiki/Overall" class="mw-redirect" title="Overall">dungarees</a> and sitting on giant-sized chairs, who commented on the world of adults. </p><p>Later came guest appearances and sketches on the <a href="/wiki/Radio_Bremen" title="Radio Bremen">Radio Bremen</a> show <i>Extratour</i>. Then in 1989, Kerkeling started up his own comedy TV show, <i><a href="/wiki/Total_Normal" title="Total Normal">Total Normal</a></i> (<i>Totally Normal</i>), along with pianist Achim Hagemann. This show, a satirical <a href="/wiki/Parody" title="Parody">spoof</a> on prime-time TV shows, had a totally new format and was awarded several television prizes such as the <a href="/wiki/Goldene_Kamera" title="Goldene Kamera">Goldene Kamera</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Adolf-Grimme-Preis" class="mw-redirect" title="Adolf-Grimme-Preis">Adolf-Grimme-Preis</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Bayerischer_Fernsehpreis" class="mw-redirect" title="Bayerischer Fernsehpreis">Bayerischer Fernsehpreis</a>. On the show, Kerkeling made television history on 25 April 1991 when he dressed up as Queen <a href="/wiki/Beatrix_of_the_Netherlands" title="Beatrix of the Netherlands">Beatrix of the Netherlands</a> on a state visit to <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> and almost managed to get into <a href="/wiki/Schloss_Bellevue" class="mw-redirect" title="Schloss Bellevue">Schloss Bellevue</a> to meet the <a href="/wiki/President_of_Germany" title="President of Germany">President of Germany</a> for lunch. The satirical song from this show, <i>Das ganze Leben ist ein Quiz</i> (<i>All life is a quiz</i>), made it into the German pop charts. </p><p>In 1992, Kerkeling's first film came out: <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kein_Pardon&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kein Pardon (page does not exist)">Kein Pardon</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kein_Pardon" class="extiw" title="de:Kein Pardon">de</a>]</span></i>, which he directed and starred in, as well as helping to write the script. </p><p>In 1992, Kerkeling turned down an offer by the big <a href="/wiki/Public_broadcasting" title="Public broadcasting">public broadcasting</a> company <a href="/wiki/ZDF" title="ZDF">ZDF</a> to work on the popular prime-time show <i><a href="/wiki/Wetten,_dass..%3F" title="Wetten, dass..?">Wetten, dass..?</a></i> and instead, without his previous partner Hagemann, moved to the independent television sector with the show <i>Cheese</i>. This was similar in concept to <i>Total Normal</i> and viewing figures were relatively high; still this is considered as his first flop. </p><p>In the second half of the 1990s, Kerkeling worked once more for <a href="/wiki/ARD_(broadcaster)" title="ARD (broadcaster)">ARD</a>, presenting the show <i>Warmumsherz</i> (<i>Heartwarming</i>), and filmed several television films (<i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Club_Las_Piranjas&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Club Las Piranjas (page does not exist)">Club Las Piranjas</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Las_Piranjas" class="extiw" title="de:Club Las Piranjas">de</a>]</span></i> (1995), <i><a href="/wiki/Willi_und_die_Windzors" title="Willi und die Windzors">Willi und die Windzors</a></i>, 1996; <i>Die Oma ist tot</i>, 1997). </p><p>In 1999, Kerkeling returned to success with his <a href="/wiki/Sat.1" title="Sat.1">Sat.1</a> show <i>Darüber lacht die Welt</i> (<i>What makes the world laugh</i>). He also presented the yearly fundraising gala for the German AIDS fund <i>Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe</i>. In 2003, he was awarded the <a href="/wiki/Deutscher_Fernsehpreis" title="Deutscher Fernsehpreis">Deutscher Fernsehpreis</a> (German Television Prize) in the category <i>Best Entertainment Presenter</i>. </p><p>In January 2004, Kerkeling made another film titled <i>Samba in Mettmann</i>, which is set in <a href="/wiki/Mettmann" title="Mettmann">Mettmann</a> in <a href="/wiki/North_Rhine_Westphalia" class="mw-redirect" title="North Rhine Westphalia">North Rhine Westphalia</a>. In May 2004, and a year later in May 2005, he presented the <i>Großer Deutsch-Test</i> (a national test show for German grammar and spelling) and in October 2004 the <i>Großer Deutschlandtest</i> (a test about people's knowledge of Germany).
