When it comes to her own obituary, Carolin Kebekus already has concrete ideas. At the end of the number, she shows what one might say about her in the future: "The world has lost her laughter forever: Carolin Kebekus has left us," babbles a spokesman with a stately voice. And praises the deceased in the highest tones: "The Beyoncé of nonsense, Kim Kardashian of comedy, Albert Einstein of silliness."
It is applied even thicker: "With her art somewhere between feminism and flatulence, Carolin Kebekus shed light on the gloom of our miserable existence," the viewers get to hear. She was "extremely intelligent and funny and beautiful," the spokesman said. The strongest argument for her person comes at the end: she abolished the Catholic Church almost single-handedly and drank everyone under the table.
Luckily, this is only a fictitious obituary – because the comedienne continued to moderate her show afterwards. In this sense, many viewers will be able to join the speaker, who ended his contribution with the words: "Long live Carolin Kebekus!"
Carolin Kebekus goes to heaven
Then the 43-year-old takes a little trip to heaven - just as she imagines it. Her most important findings: She sees no bishops and cardinals here - a small dig at the Catholic Church . And: She doesn't need any organs in this place - a small nod to all the people who don't yet have an organ donor card. And there are many in Germany: around 60 percent, as Kebekus reports. You have to be a bit serious about this topic.
Her message: You should prepare yourself for death and make all the important arrangements - before others do it and - God forbid! - play music by Santiano at the funeral.
Even if someone keeps trying to break the supposed taboo from time to time, talking and thinking about death still puts many people in a bad mood.
Carolin Kebekus showed on Thursday evening in her show that this can be done differently : The comedienne immediately got into the topic encouragingly and explained to her audience that statistically speaking, 100 ARD viewers die during this show alone. That gives you a good feeling when you still experience the end of the show. In addition, at least Kebekus thinks: "There are worse things than dying during my show."
Actually, she moderates a comedy show, but this time Carolin Kebekus addressed a serious topic: death. However, there was still laughter – also about the obituary that the comedian held for her own person.
