Outrage over "Classe Politique" dismissal
There is widespread outrage over the cancellation of the Federal Council sitcom «Classe politique.» As *Werbewoche* previously reported, Swiss Television’s entertainment division has decided to cancel the show at the end of November.
The outrage over the cancellation of the Federal Council sitcom "Classe politique" is huge. As Werbewoche has already reported (see ), the entertainment department of Swiss television has decided to discontinue the show from the end of November. This is despite the show being very popular with the public. Giacobbo's show was so expensive that Müller and Steinegger had to jump ship, writes Blick, citing insider sources. Of course, the two main actors Birgit Steinegger and Walter Andreas Müller don't like this at all. He was totally shocked and got really angry, Federal Council impersonator Müller told the Ringier newspaper.
Although the parody show was last programmed behind Viktor Giacobbo's show, it still achieved a 30 percent market share. "Others would be rolled out the red carpet for this. We're being dismissed," Müller was upset. But head of entertainment Gabriela Amgarten and head of comedy Rolf Tschäppät showed no mercy. When Müller left Amgarten's office in a rage after the announcement, she allegedly shouted after him: "You're a renowned actor. There are always ways to work together." For Müller, these words are "sheer mockery".
One of the real Federal Councillors has already commented on the discontinuation of the show. He told Hans-Rudolf Merz in an interview with Blick that he thought it would be a shame to cancel the show. "I often enjoyed watching it on Sunday evenings to get in the mood for the new working week."
