Just a few weeks ago, rumors started circulating Luke Mockridge (33) would with return to Sat.1 with their own show. The broadcaster initially denied that – but now this!
'We're not shooting with Luke Mockridge for a new show,' press spokesman Christoph Körfer said in October 2022. A pretty clever formulation, because Luke's TV return is actually not a show in the classic sense, rather Mockridge's successful comedy tour is lifted onto TV. 'Sat.1 is showing 'A Way Back to Luckyland' on Friday, December 9th - the current program by entertainer Luke Mockridge,' says a press release.
Luke's comedy colleague and good friend Oliver Pocher (44) is very happy for him, shared the Twitter announcement in his Instagram story and accompanied the whole thing with Howard Carpendale's song 'Hello Again'.
After the 33-year-old was quiet after allegations of rape, his TV comeback was actually only scheduled for the beginning of 2023 - in January Luke Mockridge was announced as a guest on 'Germany's best comedians'. But now Sat.1 has obviously changed the program for Luke: Actually, the repeat of the ranking show '111 chaotic colleagues' should have been broadcast on December 9th...
In fact, things seem to be slowly going uphill for Luke Mockridge: Also the 'Traumschiff' episode, for which he was in front of the camera in January 2021 and which had been postponed indefinitely because of the headlines about him, will be broadcast on Boxing Day. (dga)
