About Klaas Heufer-Umlauf

Klaas Heufer-Umlauf first trained to be a hairdresser. He started his TV career after winning a casting call. He became a host on shows like VIVA Live!, Retro Charts, and Klaas' Wochenshow. He also acted in a TV show called Alle lieben Jimmy and appeared in a music video for the band Scooter.

Since 2011, Joko and Klaas have hosted many popular shows on ProSieben. These include game shows like 17 Meter and Die Rechnung geht auf uns. They also host the exciting show Joko gegen Klaas - Das Duell um die Welt. In 2013, they started Circus HalliGalli (which ran until 2017) on ProSieben, another show like their earlier ones. In the same year, Klaas also acted in the movie Grossstadtklein [de].

Klaas Heufer-Umlauf is also the founder and singer of a band called Gloria. Their first album came out in September 2013.
