Jesko Friedrich

Jesko Friedrich (born 2 April 1974 in Gießen) is a German comedic television actor and writer.

Early life and career

Friedrich grew up in Lübeck and has a doctorate in German studies at the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen.

Friedrich started writing jokes for the show Freitag Nacht News ("Friday Night News"). Since 2001, Friedrich worked at the Norddeutscher Rundfunk, mostly as a writer, producer, and actor for the satire show Extra 3, and for other comedy shows. Beginning in 2003, together with Dennis Kaupp, he developed the recurring show segment Johannes Schlüter. Friedrich plays the role of Johannes Schlüter, a character who works absurd jobs in every episode (for example as speaker on women's rights for the Christian Social Union of Bavaria, bush pilot, or peddler of flags ready to be burned by protesters), and is interviewed by Kaupp. The segment was awarded the Adolf Grimme Award in 2009.

From 2005 to 2008 Friedrich and Kaupp produced their own comedy show Sehr witzig ("Very Funny") for the NDR. Both acted as directors, authors and actors. Since 2009 he has again worked with Kaupp on the show Dennis und Jesko, a successor to Sehr witzig. He also had a role in the short film trilogy Eine Nacht in Wilhelmsburg ("A Night in Wilhemsburg") (2005, 2006 und 2007).

Rosenrot

Rosenrot (German pronunciation: [ʁoːzɛn.ʁoːt] "Rose-Red") is the fifth album by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein, released on October 28, 2005. As of February 2006, the album has shipped 1 million copies globally.

The album includes six songs artistically omitted from Reise, Reise. The album's first title was Reise, Reise Volume Two, but on August 18, 2005 the album was announced as Rosenrot.

The cover art is nearly identical to the Japanese import of Reise, Reise. The image is a slightly altered photograph of the icebreaker USS Atka, taken on March 13, 1960 at McMurdo Station, Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica.

While Rammstein did not actively promote the album, the band built anticipation through a variety of means. The first single from the album, "Benzin", premiered at the Berliner Wuhlheide and was subsequently released on disc. Rammstein's official website featured one-minute samples from six of the tracks, and had featured a prominent release-date countdown. A brief section of the chorus from "Rosenrot" plays in the background of an e-card containing photographs of the band and basic album information.

Dennis

Dennis or Denis is a first or last name from the Greco-Roman name Dionysius, via one of the Christian saints named Dionysius.

The name came from Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, which is sometimes said to be derived from the Greek Dios (Διός, "of Zeus") and Nysos or Nysa (Νῦσα), where the young god was raised. Dionysus (or Dionysos; also known as Bacchus in Roman mythology and associated with the Italic Liber), the Thracian god of wine, represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficent influences. He is viewed as the promoter of civilization, a lawgiver, and lover of peace — as well as the patron deity of both agriculture and the theater.

Dionysus is a god of mystery religious rites, such as those practiced in honor of Demeter and Persephone at Eleusis near Athens. In the Thracian mysteries, he wears the "bassaris" or fox-skin, symbolizing new life. (See also Maenads.)

A mediaeval Latinised form of the Anglo-Norman surname Le Denys was Dacus, which correctly meant Dacian, but when the Vikings were about was often used to mean "Danish" or "The Dane". The name became modernised as Denys, then later as Dennis.
