Loriots Telecabinet (1974)
A sharp-witted parody of the talk show format, this self-conceived television special by legendary German comedian Loriot blends satire and sketch comedy. Featuring Loriot in multiple roles, the program playfully disrupts the typical talk show structure with absurd interruptions and cleverly crafted sketches. Originally aired on November 13, 1974, it marked Loriot’s first full creative venture as writer, director, and performer.
