Erdogan controversy
After a satirical poem about the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan aired on 31 March 2016, a controversy arose in German media about the limits of satire. The ZDF channel deleted the poem from its internet archives in the ZDFmediathek. According to ZDF program director Norbert Himmler, Böhmermann had approved the deletion. ZDF director Thomas Bellut defended the program. "Of course I stand by the satire program, by the presenters and also by Mr. Böhmermann. I urge that a short portion of this longer satire episode not be given undue emphasis. Ultimately, it is a program which you can judge one way or the other." The filming of the 14 April edition of Neo Magazin Royale was cancelled due to "massive media reporting and the focus on the programme and the presenter". On 16 April Böhmermann himself announced he would taking a four-week break from TV and radio work, which was confirmed by his channel ZDF.
The next edition of Neo Magazin Royale was filmed on 12 May. Böhmermann resumed the show with a reference to the affair, saying that he wanted to make no more jokes about Adolf Hitler, because he did not want to be sued by him. His guest in the episode was The Left politician Gregor Gysi, who said that he disliked the poem because "it serves every prejudice", but strongly criticized Erdogan for his policies against the Kurds and the press. Gysi also said that he would have defended Böhmermann as a lawyer.
Every Second Counts
In early 2017, the similar Dutch satirical late-night talkshow Zondag met Lubach video "The Netherlands welcomes Trump in his own words" that ridiculed U.S. President Donald Trump, whilst also using self-mockery, went viral and was viewed more than 73 million times worldwide. It inspired Neo Magazin Royale to launch a Europe-wide video contest to let every country make its own parody video.
