Christian Fuhlendorff - At Tale Sjov
2015
When you go to a stand-up show, the comedian is usually completely prepared. He or she knows 100 percent what to say, in what order the jokes should fall. Even when it seems like we're not on top of it, it's just part of the smokescreen. Every once in a while, some of us dive into the deep end of the pool, not knowing where it will end up. Do we drown or do we make the best dive, because when you get it right with improv, as we call it, it can be magical. Unfortunately, it's never really captured on camera, but ZULU has asked Christian Fuhlendorff to change that. That's why he throws himself off the seesaw, with no preparation, no ideas, just himself and his thoughts.

1980 · ★ 8
In this variety special, Olivia shares the evening with Andy Gibb, Elton John, Ted Knight, Gene Kelly and Toni Tennille. The special included songs from Grease and the Totally Hot album as well as some other artists' covers : the Eagles, Bob Seger, Elton John and Buddy Holly. Olivia also performed a parody of the jazz/blues classic Makin' Whoopee with Gene Kelly, changing the lyrics to Makin' Movies and dealing with Olivia's dream of producing a musical. The show was aired internationally and did very well in the ratings, as did her two previous US television specials on the same network. It is to be noted that Tina Turner's appearance on Olivia's special helped her sign a contract with then Olivia's manager Roger Davies, who ultimately helped her to go back into the spotlight.
