Glitzer, große Bühne und ganz viel Kaffee: In dieser festlichen Weihnachtsfolge von „5 Tassen täglich“ ist niemand Geringeres zu Gast als Hendrik Menken alias Ricardo M. – Entertainer, Moderator, PR-Profi, Kultfigur der deutschen Bingo-Szene und seit 20 Jahren auf den Bühnen des Landes zu Hause. Gemeinsam mit Moderator Ralf Podszus tauchen wir ein in die Welt des Showbusiness und in die ganz persönlichen Kaffeerituale eines Mannes, bei dem ohne Cappuccino nichts geht. Mindestens sechs starke Cappuccini am Tag, immer mit drei Shots, immer ohne Kakaopulver. Alkohol? Spielt für Ricardo keine Rolle – Konzentration, Energie und Bühnenfokus kommen für ihn ausschließlich aus Kaffee. Neben seiner legendären Bingo-Show, mit der er von St. Pauli bis auf große Firmenbühnen begeistert, sprechen wir über seinen Alltag zwischen Bühne und Backstage, über Improvisation, Lampenfieber, Optimismus und über seine große Liebe zu Italien und Umbrien. Dort verbringt Hendrik viel Zeit, zelebriert die Espressokultur auf der Piazza, trinkt Cappuccino auch am Nachmittag (entgegen aller italienischen Regeln) und findet zwischen Olivenhainen und Espressobar die Ruhe, die es für das grelle Showleben braucht. Auch persönlich wird es: Hendrik erzählt von seinem Optimismustalk „Hier ist das Glas halb voll!“, von seinem Engagement als Testimonial der Diversity-Initiative Welcoming Out und davon, warum Humor, Haltung und gute Laune gerade in schwierigen Zeiten kein Luxus sind, sondern ein echtes Lebensprinzip. Zum Weihnachtsfinale geht es außerdem um Rituale, um besondere Kaffeeorte in Hamburger Hotellobbys, um Umbrien im Winter und um die schönste aller Geschenkideen: gemeinsame Zeit und Kultur. Mehr zu Ricardo M. & seiner Bingo-Show gibt's hier: www.ricardo-m.com/die-bingo-show

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old. From there, he trained with legendary teachers Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis, absorbing the craft that would later shape his most memorable roles.He reflects on his early film work, including Yours, Mine and Ours, and shares a warm, behind-the-scenes moment with Lucille Ball. Kevin then recounts the unexpected and nerve-wracking audition process that led to Emergency! and how a chance encounter with actor David Janssen calmed his nerves and helped him nail the screen test that changed his life.Kevin discusses the legacy of Emergency! notable for the realism brought by on-set medical advisors. The show inspired a surge of interest in first responder careers, and it raised awareness of lifesaving pre-hospitalization, EMS opportunities that inspired paramedic programs throughout the country.Kevin talks candidly about the challenges he faced following Emergency!, including his struggle with fame and his move to Washington State. There, he dedicated himself to community work and played a key role in establishing Hospice of the Northwest.After decades of appearances on big and small screens with memorable roles in Roadhouse, Newsies, Law And Order SUV, Freaks and Geeks, and the list goes on, you can now see Kevin in the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another, and he shares a touching moment between himself and P.T. Anderson which allowed Kevin to create a menacing screen moment that will live in infamy. Kevin also looks back on earning his master's degree at USC and the students he taught who went on to thrive in their field. And IMDB Roulette this week is full of close calls, career achievements and reflections on the early promise of today's biggest stars. All that PLUS, Emergency!

There's a lot of talk about the changes in Hollywood, a city that has been at the center of moviemaking and TV production for nearly a century. So we invited producer and writer Alexia Melocchi, who co-authored the book, "The Heart of Show Business," to talk about what's really happening in this city of dreams. Alexia will discuss in detail a road map to navigating how work is getting done in this new era. "The Heart of Show Business" speaks with industry professionals from writers, directors, actors, athletes, and more, discussing how to stay ahead and win at every level. Each chapter offers career insights and professional advice from with a variety of successful individuals, including Blair Underwood, Keith Mitchell, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Jean-Michel Cousteau and many others. I found it deeply interesting to dive into the mindset of industry pros, a terrific tool for any profession. But in the ever-changing entertainment industry, it's critical to stay one step ahead. Whether it's Ai, digital, the business of acting, where the industry is headed, or how to learn the ABC's of filmmaking, Alexia offers an interesting perspective on what's next. Please find my full interview with Alexia on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, & #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

We're living through a moment where late night jokes are next-day news, and each opening monologue feels like a litmus test for our freedom of expression. But is this dynamic anything new? This week, comedian Dean Obeidallah and writer Kliph Nesteroff join Kamau to reflect on the history—and present state—of censorship in comedy, and what makes this moment more than a callback. This episode was recorded on Monday, November 10, in the lead-up to the New York Arab American Comedy Festival, which Dean co-founded more than two decades ago. Kliph's insights are drawn from research that he conducted for his book Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars.
