Herbert Feuerstein (15 June 1937 – 6 October 2020) was an Austrian-born German journalist, comedian and entertainer.[1]
Feuerstein was born in Zell am See, Austria, and studied music at the Salzburg Mozarteum from 1956 to 1958, majoring in piano, harpsichord and composition. However, he never graduated and in 1960, he followed his first wife to New York. There, he worked for and, from 1968, became editor of the German-language newspaper New Yorker Staats-Zeitung. He also worked as a "U.S. correspondent" for the German satire magazine Pardon.
After divorcing his first wife, Feuerstein returned to Europe in 1969. He worked as a publisher of the Pardon magazine and later, from 1968, was the editor of the German version of Mad.[2]
Since 1984, he mainly worked in German TV, being partner to Harald Schmidt in comedy shows such as "Pssst..." (1989–1995) and "Schmidteinander" (1990–1994). In 1995, he starred in the TV film Entführung aus der Lindenstraße. Twice, in 1997 and 1998, he hosted twelve-hour-long live TV shows, dubbed "Feuersteins Nacht" (Feuerstein's Night), for WDR. He also worked as the dub voice of Gilbert Huph - with whom he beared a striking optical resemblance - in the German-language version of Pixar's "The Incredibles".
A native Austrian, he became a German citizen in 1992.
