Last Talk Show by Reinhold Beckmann: Sovereign farewell in the ARD – Spiegel Online

Reinhold Beckmann would be sincerely intrusive formulations. About twists that suddenly back issues in a new light, or forever hang on the person who uses it. Curiously, Gerhard Schröder will not get rid of probably to the end of his days, he not said about the Russian president at Beckmann.

His record on the show on 23 November 2004 was:.. “They are always so notions I believe him, and I am convinced that it is the fact that not everything is in Russia so as he imagines it and how do I or we would imagine. That, I believe, should be understood. ” Not this Originalgeschwurbel has since been tirelessly served as a quote, but the relevant question of Reinhold Beckmann, the Schröder then actually tried to avoid: “Is Putin a flawless democrat?”

The talk show as such sometimes is just a particularly insidious variant of political journalism. A profession, has from the Beckmann is now withdrawn. Freely – something like how to leave an overly full train compartment voluntarily. After the NDR had bought the notorious Günther Jauch as additional chatter ladder, it was with Maischberger, Will, and just Plasberg Beckmann suddenly become quite closely in the ARD. What Beckmann the facts advanced with the catchy phrase in a new light, nerve him “the endless chatter about too much chatter”

2000 guests -. Who should be there looking for any fate

Truly, talked all kinds, not just political. Träfen to a fictitious farewell party 2000 guests, the Beckmann has ever received in the last 15 years, they could fill the Cologne E-Werk. Among his most prominent guests were Shirley MacLaine, Sylvester Stallone, Angela Merkel, Cat Stevens, Helmut Schmidt, Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Schmidt. And Loki Schmidt. The cyclist Bert Dietz familiar Beckmann his past in doping sports on, Murat Kurnaz his past in Guantanamo and Natascha Kampusch her past in the basement.

Its medial farewell tour took place in recent days, especially on the media side of the FAZ instead, where he presented himself as an “elder statesman” of the genre, calm, balanced, as nearly. As he said in an interview with ambiguous modesty, he had to give “no advice” that sounded almost a little after but famous parting words of the last King of Saxony: “Well, since MacHD but Alleene eggs Drägg!”

In fact, one could get the impression in the past few months, Beckmann would towards the end always better, light-footed, free from the pressure and the quote. Much he had previously been criticized over the years for the routine with which he knew how to simulate emotions. Wrongly, because first this was relatively discreet when one wishes to involve as benchmarks against the oily Johannes B. Kerner. And secondly: 2000 guests! Who should be for there care about every fate?

handle in the tool box of moderation tricks

His last talk show, however, did not confirm the impression that this is just an irreplaceable Forum of the formation of public opinion to have lost. It was about the problem of refugee flows, the amended asylum law and the question of what should Germany do. Were invited, among others, a Syrian refugee, the SPD Interior Minister of Baden-Württemberg, a representative of ProAsyl, a psychologist and Heribert Prantl of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” -. Everything so people who were more or less agree

No wonder then that it Beckmann – gray glasses, white shirt, dark-blue suit – simply did not succeed to provoke something like an exciting confrontation between guests. When he realized this, he provoked it by yourself and announced as a fact, the policy will respond “on moods”. Prompt Prantl held against it, but no, it was vice versa, the brochure only the moods. What Beckmann insisted stubbornly, “no one can tell me that the policy does not react.”

As the loaded psychologist once puzzled noted to have nothing to say about a particular political issue, Beckmann opened for a seconds the tool box of his moderation tricks: “Well-ha you had just looked at me as trustworthy as I thought, I’m talking to you!” Just as he soon rejoiced: “Mr. Prantl, this is a good submission!” And when the young Syrians the enormous financial cost of safety fences at the EU’s external borders handy as an “investment programs for tractors” designated as Beckmann snapped again shortly after for joy.

In the end, the little speech in Boss, performed with a firm voice and having regard to the emotion of the moment: “Well, for all the viewers, that’s it!” He remains yes. When “Sports Show” host. As a conjurer of football games. As a reporter with a new format, “still takes a bit early next year.” And as a musician (. “In all, anyway maybe”)

he had forgotten a hair, the following special broadcast “Witnesses of Time – The Best of 15 years Beckmann” announcing: “You can see how the time changed all of us, as we have changed in these past 15 years. “

The” we “he pointed, very discreetly, with both hands to themselves.
