#RudiCarrell RUDI CARRELL SHOW 30 🍾🥂

Having started performing late 1989, after many small gigs, and exhaustive touring locally and nationally in Germany, finally in December 7, 1991, was the night my life changed forever and launched my career. It was my first ever performance on live television on the fourth season of the highly successful TV program "Die Rudi Carrell Show - Laß Dich überraschen" in Germany.

THANK YOU Rudi Carrell (RIP), the show producers, and team for giving me this lifechanging opportunity. I will never forget and I am forever grateful.

[*taken from biography] “Slim Khezri’s first notable television appearance was in Germany, on Saturday, December 7, 1991, on the popular hit show “Die Rudi Carrell Show”, where he competed as one of five guests, impersonating famous singers, and hosted by Dutch entertainer, and TV icon Rudi Carrell. Out of hundreds of applicants per episode, Khezri was invited back to audition by WDR (West German Broadcasting, Cologne). After 3 attempts, he secured his casting, he was chosen from among 30 candidates. Rudi Carrell (thought by many to have discovered Slim Khezri) was very convinced, and believed in Khezri's talents, and made personally the phone call to confirm him for the show. Pre-taped the night before on Friday, December 6, 1991, Khezri gave a stunning performance as Michael Jackson, singing the classic “Billie Jean” LIVE, captivating the audience with his dance moves and the iconic Moonwalk. The show was a huge hit, it drew the largest audience to date, at nearly 50 million viewers throughout Europe and beyond, which brought him instant fame. The show included a similar concept to “Star Search” or “Pop Idol” in America and brought many well-known German pop stars and actors to prominence, such as Alexis (as Whitney Houston) or Mark Keller (as Dean Martin). It also featured comedy sketches, and a ‘Make-a-Wish’ segment.”
