About Markus Maria Profitlich
Markus Maria Profitlich (born 25 March 1960 in Bonn) is a German comedian, actor and voice actor who was a cast member of Die Wochenshow between 1999 and 2001. He also hosted his own show, Mensch Markus, from 2002 to 2007. His most famous role on Die Wochenshow was the "Erklarbar" (Explaining Bear), and his other characters included the shy reporter Peter Wuttke, Mawegda Gandhi and Baby Markus.
Profitlich is also the producer of the programme Weibsbilder, as well as Deutschland ist schon (Germany is nice). According to the article, the name Profitlich is not a stage name but is probably derived from "a person who acts profitably".

Profitlich is married to actress Ingrid Einfeldt, his stage partner in Mensch Markus, and his daughter was born in early 2005. He is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and a confessing Christian. He won the German Comedy Award for Best Comedian for Mensch Markus in 2002, and the show also won Best Sketch Show in 2004 and Best Sketch Comedy in 2006.
