extra 3 is a weekly political satire show on German television established in 1976. Produced by public TV broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk, it is aired on NDR Fernsehen and 3sat. Once a month, the show is promoted to ARD's national first program Das Erste.

Invented by Dieter Kronzucker in 1976, the satire show was initially hosted by himself together with Peter Merseburger and Wolf von Lojewski. Over the years, the show has seen a number of personalities co-hosting the magazine, starting with Lea Rosh, who joined the team in 1977. In 2000, a special edition was co-hosted by leading politicians Cem Özdemir (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Thomas Goppel (CSU), Guido Westerwelle (FDP) and Gregor Gysi (Die Linke).[1]

History

Erdoğan controversy

See also: Böhmermann affair

In its nationally aired show on 17 March 2016, extra 3 presented a satirical music video titled "Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan", adapted from German pop star Nena's song Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann. The two-minute video shows a compilation of some of the most absurd public moments of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and footage of the Turkish government's crackdown on the media, women rights protesters and Kurds, while taking a lenient stance on the "brothers in faith from ISIL". The video also criticizes chancellor Angela Merkel for her migrant deal with Turkey to putting Turkey in the role of cracking down on the refugee influx to the EU, mocking her to "be charming to him since he has you well in hand" (Template:Lang-de).[2]

On 22 March, Erdoğan summoned German ambassador Martin Erdmann over the song, asking the German government to intervene[3] and delete the video, as reported by AFP. While representatives of the German government declined to intervene, extra 3 followed up with English- and Turkish-subtitled versions of the video and republished a number of earlier videos criticizing the Turkish government.[4]

Erdoğan's unprecedented overreaction on a satire video produced an outcry by the German public with representatives of all German parties criticizing the situation of Press freedom in Turkey and reaffirming that Germany takes its press freedom seriously. Sevim Dağdelen, in charge for foreign policy at left-wing party Die Linke, demanded "a clear stand" from the foreign office, adding that "our fundamental rights cannot be sacrificed on the altar of the shabby EU-Turkey deal.”[4] As reported by a European Commission spokeswoman, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he "does not appreciate" Turkey's decision to call in the ambassador because of a satirical song, and "believes this moves Turkey further from the EU rather than closer to us."[5]

Calling Alice Weidel a "Nazischlampe" (Nazi slapper)

The satire show extra 3 called the 2017 chancellor candidate of the German party AfD, Alice Weidel, a Nazi bitch, as a response to her rallying against political correctness.[6] She was not amused and went to court. The Landesgericht (Regional Court) in Hamburg rejected the suit, explaining it with freedom of expression and satire with respect to political figures. The legal decision is not final, as Alice Weidel brought it to the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court).[7]
