"Schlag den Raab" is actually a gameshow where one candidate has to beat the moderator (Raab) in a series of games.
Btw, the german (don't say Kraut, you Yank! ) version of top of the pops was called top of the pops.

i just watched raab himself just take a shit while running.....

Translation (and yes, the play of words is as lame in German as it is in English):
Morgenhans: Well, the 2 most beautiful points, which are the 2 points of my beautiful Czech Susanka, will stay with me tonight. Right? That's for ...SMACK...
Susanka: Is he out of his mind? Jerk!
Morninghans: Just a joke...
Susanka: Funny, only nobody is laughing. Let's do the points...zero points for Big FM Morgenhans....


Not totally accurate I guess.

I know that he is an actor, but he sure does seem like such a nice, easy-going guy, easy in his skin.

World class, as Herr Raab says.

Hell if I know, but buddy uses one in this vid: http://www.videosift.com/video/Beirut-Elephant-Gun

the music is originally by "Max Raabe & das Palastorchester" covering Popsongs in some kind of "Roaring Twenties"-Style...
