Career

Oliver Pocher got his first big break in 1999 when he started contributing gags and prank calls to various radio stations, quickly moving to on-air roles and landing a spot on Viva’s Chart Attack.

By 2003 he was a household name thanks to Rent a Pocher on ProSieben, a hidden-camera stunt show that pulled massive ratings. From 2006 to 2009 he hosted the hugely successful Schmidt & Pocher late-night talk show with Harald Schmidt, followed by his own prime-time vehicles Die Oliver Pocher Show and Pocher—gefährlich ehrlich! on Sat.1.

He also branched into film with roles in comedies such as Vollidiot (2007), Keinohrhasen (2007), and Harte Jungs sequels.

The 2010s saw Pocher reinvent himself as Germany’s premier red-carpet roaster and celebrity antagonist, regularly clashing with stars like Cindy aus Marzahn and later with influencer couples.

After a quieter period he roared back with the smash-hit podcast Die Pochers! alongside then-wife Amira (2021–2023), which dominated German charts for years.

He returned to television in 2024–2025 with new seasons of Pocher vs. formats and regular appearances on RTL’s Let’s Dance and DSDS, proving his provocative style still pulls huge audiences.

Oliver Pocher stays at the center of German entertainment by constantly reinventing his brand of confrontational comedy.

Whether torching celebrities on stage, dropping viral diss tracks, or turning his own messy private life into content, he has mastered the art of staying relevant in the age of social media and tabloid headlines.

Love him or hate him, few personalities command as much attention across television, streaming, and podcast platforms.
