Los Angeles-based German musician Markus Burger, has been selected to compose the title theme of what promises to be the hottest nightly ticket on German network TV.
“Gottschalk Live”, scheduled to debut January 23 on Germany’s ARD network (Das Erste), marks the triumphant return of TV legend Thomas Gottschalk to late night variety television.
Gottschalk achieved fame and went on to become a household name in the German-speaking world as the host of the long-running primetime show, “Wetten, das…?”, interviewing the world’s biggest celebrities, from Barack Obama to Lady Gaga and Madonna, to name a few.
Fresh off his European tour, Markus Burger‘s latest project, ‘Accidental Tourists: The L.A. Sessions’, the first of a series inspired by urban areas around the world, and the musicians that live in them, debuts in June 2012, on Challenge Records.
Check out the show’s official trailer and listen to a clip of the theme song:
