Andreas Rebers (born 7 January 1958, in Westerbrak) is a Kabarett artist, author and musician from Munich. His shows often incorporate performances on the accordion or the piano. From 1989 to 1997, Rebers was the director of plays at the Staatstheater Braunschweig. From 1997 to 1999 he was a member of the Lach- und Schießgesellschaft in Munich before starting a solo career. Rebers often made guest appearance on various German Kabarett shows, such as Scheibenwischer, Neues aus der Anstalt or Ottfried Fischer's Ottis Schlachthof which exposed him to a larger audience and increased his popularity. Rebers' Kabarett is musical in nature and relies on songs to bring his message across. He sees his music in the tradition of classical worker's songs like those composed by Bert Brecht. His style has been described as complicated and nasty satire which led to him being compared to Austrian Kabarett artist Josef Hader.

Christopher Jerell Redd (born March 25, 1985) is an American actor and comedian who has been a cast member of Saturday Night Live since 2017. He won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2018 for co-writing the SNL song "Come Back Barack". He is also known for his roles in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016), Disjointed (2017–2018), and Kenan (2021–present). Redd briefly pursued a career as a rapper, but switched to sketch comedy after discovering that he enjoyed improvisational comedy. He took comedy classes at Jokes & Notes, a now-closed comedy club in Chicago. Redd joined the comedy group The Second City, and was a member of its touring company. He moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to further pursue an acting career, and made his film debut as Hunter the Hungry, an underground rapper, in the 2016 mockumentary Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Redd co-starred in the 2017–2018 Netflix comedy series Disjointed, in which he played the role of Dank, a stoner. After a previous unsuccessful audition for the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, it was announced in September 2017 that Redd had joined the show's cast as a featured player for season 43, alongside fellow newcomers Heidi Gardner and Luke Null. In 2018, Redd won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for writing the SNL song "Come Back Barack", which lamented former president Barack Obama's departure from the White House and aired during Chance the Rapper's episode on November 18, 2017. The award was shared with co-writers Kenan Thompson and Will Stephen, and composer Eli Brueggemann. Redd and Gardner were promoted to repertory status in 2019, ahead of SNL's 45th season. His celebrity impressions on the show have included U.S. Senator Cory Booker, Kanye West, and Sterling K. Brown.
