Now you have to invite us and we’ll play a little Round KORREKT OR WEG!

[Lori_]

I never thought that this man would one day become famous outside Germany. He deserves it

[Frickes]

Wir brauchen ein "Aushalten nicht lachen" mit Jimmy, Mathias, Joko & Klaas!

[LanaCJames]

"You have a word for that?"
Jimmy, in Germany we actually have a word for everything. Even for things you don't know it's a thing.

[bellabella]

As a German I‘m so proud of Matthias achieving so much on an international level. Weiter so Matze!!! 👏🏼

[TastySchu]

My husband is German & my father in-law, of course, as well. But they have the most hilarious humor I've ever experienced. It's not like American humor but I die laughing daily & whenever I see my sweet father in-law. Beautiful people & country 🇩🇪 🥰✌️

[PFawlty]

It's good to see German actors getting more attention in America. There is some great talent in Germany.

[dreamydahlia]

As a German I was so confused to see him on an American show. Thought it was a mistake at first haha

[moira]

And this is why German is the language of poets.. We have a word for everything 😂😂😂

[gromtex]

Die sollten mal Joko, Klaas und Matthias zusammen einladen und Steven als Moderator 😂

[Lia_rlx_]

I'm from Germany and we miss Matthias in Germany. he is living his dream and we are very happy about that. he is such a nice man. 😊🎉

[mariachacon]

It is so cute how Jimmy tries so hard to pronunciate Matthias' last name 🤭

[mj.arriba]

Ich freue mich so sehr für Matthias, dass er die Anerkennung erhält, die er verdient. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[MelancholischerMond]

Matthias ist eine coole Socke. Ich gönne ihm den weltweiten Erfolg. Glücklicherweise kann ihm der nicht zu Kopf steigen. Bei solchen Kindern ist man automatisch geerdet. 😂

[JustBen]

Beckenrandschwimmer is rarely used litterally (the literal translation in the quiz is of course correct) . In most cases it just refers to someone with a very frightened attitude. A person that always takes extra precautions to be safe and doesn't treasure risks.

[princejmtravels]

Few years ago, I already seen him in an independent film during a flight from Asia. I’m already a fan. A German friend told me that he is a big actor in Germany. Glad more Americans or more people outside from Germany recognizes his talent!

[lesezeichen]

Matthias Schweighöfer has such a heartwarming and entertaining way of being. I am so happy, that he s getting recognition in America! Love from Berlin!

[TobiasTK]

Man he is so charismatic and funny really cool to watch 😂🙌

[jazyb]

There is something very nice and comfortable about Matthias, lovely, lovely, lovely man 🙂

[Jo_Wardy]

I love how famous this guy has become. One of my favourite European Actors. First seen him in Der Rote Baron and was hooked after that. I've also been in love with Germany ever since Highschool.
