Oliver Welke

Oliver Welke (born 19 April 1966) is a German television presenter, journalist, satirist, comedian and voice actor.

Welke was born in Bielefeld and studied journalism at the University of Münster, graduating in 1993.

He then worked in a number of fields and eventually became a rather well-known sport journalist and presenter.

Together with Oliver Kalkofe, whom he met while working for a public radio station, he provided the German voices for Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (as Crow T. Robot) and the British comedy show Little Britain, and also co-wrote the script for the crime film parody Der WiXXer.

Since May 2009, Welke has been the host of the satirical heute-show on German public broadcaster ZDF, which is commonly viewed as a German adaptation of The Daily Show.
