Biography
[edit]Early Life
[edit]Michael Beisenherz was born to a family of Tinsmiths on 28 June 1977 in Recklinghausen but grew up in the nearby and slightly smaller town of Castrop-Rauxel where he got his Abitur at the Adalbert Stifter Gymnasium in 1997. He then studied Social science for one semester in Bochum before working on construction sites for about one year.[1]
Career
[edit]Beisenherz started his career on Radio Herne 90,8, a local radio station in the eponymous city. Starting in the 2000s, he worked for the entertainment of Radio NRW until 2010. In 2009, he began writing gags for the moderators of Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!, colloquially known as the Jungle Camp, a Trash TV series, based on the British I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! before starting to write entire episodes in 2011.[1] In RTL II, he had his first major on-screen and live appearances when he commentated the broadcast of the Loveparade in 2007 and 2008 and when he co-moderated Der große Deutsch-Test ('The big German [Grammatical/Spelling] Quiz') with Sonja Zietlow from 2010 to 2012. As his career went on, he worked (and still works) for many other major TV channels such as WDR, n-tv, ProSieben and ZDFneo and has written for popular comedians like Dirk Bach, Atze Schröder and Dieter Nuhr.[2][3][4]
He has multiple podcasts, and writes columns for Stern (a series called Sorry, ich bin privat hier) and about fashion for Die Zeit.[5][6]
Personal Life
[edit]He was married with Silja Haas, the sister of Sonja Zietlow's husband Jens Oliver Haas , from 2012 to 2019. They had one daughter, Pippa Haas, born in July 2015.[7] As of 2023, he is dating Nikki Hassan-Nia, a Lufthansa flight attendant.[2][8]
