Christian Ehring: Stand Jetzt!

He is known as the presenter of the ARD/NDR satire program "Extra3" and as Oliver Welke's sidekick on the "ZDF heute Show". His biting analysis of the political climate is a weekly must for many.

"Stand jetzt". A ubiquitous phrase during the coronavirus crisis. As things stand, nothing is known for sure. As things stand, it is not clear which wars will escalate further. As things stand, it is uncertain whether humanity will survive the climate catastrophe.

The future can no longer be planned. Politics is just hectic damage limitation. And convictions are also becoming obsolete faster than Anton Hofreiter can list the types of weapons. The times when people were comfortably settled in the illusion that everything would somehow continue as before are over. At least that's how it looks now.

Is it still possible to laugh in the face of war and catastrophe, inflation and double whammy? Christian Ehring says: You have to. He confronts his fears, speaks plainly and unmasks the larmoyance of the privileged. Even if he doesn't always come off well himself, it doesn't matter. Wit has the right of way. That applies today more than ever.

"Stand jetzt" is highly topical satire after the turn of an era. Of course, no one can say exactly what will happen between now and then, but this much is certain: Ehring will deal with it. Stand jetzt will be funny.
