On Sunday evening, the satirical show "Giacobbo/Müller" with the two eponymous humorists Viktor Giacobbo and Mike Müller celebrated its premiere on Swiss television. The broadcaster can be satisfied with the viewing figures: 619,700 people tuned in, which corresponds to a market share of 41.3 percent, as SF announced on request.
The majority of press reactions are positive: "It's never too late for good Swiss late-night comedy," says Blick. "Giacobbo/Müller" was convincing, according to 20 Minuten. The show could do with more zing, but Giacobbo's return can be seen as a win for the SF screen, writes the NZZ. It identifies the Catholic Church and the SVP as classic topics, which had already been a recurring theme in Giacobbo's earlier show "Viktors Spätprogramm".
The Aargauer Zeitung was not entirely satisfied with "Giacobbo/Müller": "Only half successful", it said in the title. The concept of the show worked in the first 20 minutes, but the guests in the second part were too bland for the Aargauer Zeitung or didn't get a chance to speak. With regard to the distribution of roles between Giacobbo and Müller, Blick regrets that the latter was neutralized as the "protocol leader". And 20 Minuten's dry verdict: "One-man show for Viktor Giacobbo". The Christoph Mörgeli parody by comedian Fabian Unteregger was met with enthusiasm from all sides.
