»You have never seen what you will experience today at 8:15 pm on ProSieben at #JKLive.
Probably for good reason ... «: This is how the entertainers Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf announced what they wanted to show on television at prime time.
They probably lived up to this announcement: On Wednesday evening from 8:15 p.m. on Pro7 you could see how they each swallowed a small camera and showed pictures from inside their bodies.
Alphabet noodles and Lego heads
That alone was obviously too boring for the duo.
The two entertainers swallowed digestible, including letter noodles, but also dice - with which Winterscheidt felt obliged to point out that one shouldn't imitate the whole thing - and Lego heads.
The entertainers earned the 15 minutes of freely available broadcasting time the day before in a show against ProSieben based in Unterföhring near Munich.
The private broadcaster says it has no influence on what Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf do with their free time.
In the past, the two of them used the time gained for very serious topics, including the mini-documentary "A Short Story Of Moria" about the situation at the EU's external borders or the "Men's Worlds" edition, moderated by Sophie Passmann, about sexual violence against women . But there have already been 15 minutes in which a pig ran through the König Galerie in Berlin in the "quota race" against RTL or Winterscheidt gave his colleague a memorial.
And this time?
Was it just a joke?
Not quite: "Originally we wanted to make a serious contribution about preventive examinations," it says at the end of the video.
On Twitter, Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf explain: "We took the wrong turn somewhere with the 15 minutes #JKLive, but the message is clear: Go to preventive care!" In the tweet they also linked information from the federal government on health care.
