Maybe we'll get the whole show on video, in the meantime two excerpts...
Nuttcracker
Gerry and the ice cubes... performing Goethe
Interesting bits from his interview... he said he was in Mallorca before, but can't remember much as he was only 3. This time he visited his cousin who has a house there..
The interpreter was really bad, she missed half of what he said and was so loud it was hard to understand him...maybe we'll find a longer video. A lot of messages on twitter and Gerry's FB by Germans apologising for the treatment he received, although all praised him for being cool and such a good sport...

Why are the German Tweet's apologising to Gerry.??
This bet has Gerry written all over it. Surely, this was his idea.?

I can understand why the German fans are apologizing...it was pretty lame. I was upset when Gerry had to break the nut with his butt...I was so afraid he would reinjure his back. It wasn't a good stunt for him. I thought I heard him say that he has a bad back. I think he was talking about having to stuff ice cubes down his pants in Shreveport because of the heat, which we knew. Evidently the translator couldn't get there because of the floods so this woman was new. I loved watching Gerry's facial expressions when everyone around him was speaking German. He's a good sport though!

Ladies, I loved BOTH bits. There's nothing our guy won't try. We all know that he's game for anything at least once. That's one of the things that I love about him.

It sounds like Gerry lost his bet and had to do something stupid/ embarrassing. From what I have read last year lots of Germans apologized to Tom Hanks for having to wear the silly cat hat. Tom didn't look happy.
I asked my parents if they would watch the show and tell me about it tomorrow. They said they stopped watching it because its level has dropped considerably and it hasn't been funny anymore. It used to be that when a celeb lost his/her bet, he / she would have to do something funny, maybe a little embarrassing but not to a level where the celeb would be ashamed of it. Often celebs did something for charity. It seems that has changed and they expect the celebs to embarrass themselves. That's just sad.
I'll watch the videos in a bit, it takes a while to load because I don't have the fastest Internet connection. I let you know if I hear anything interesting in the German talk.

I was watching the live stream and saw very little of it. The live stream would freeze most of the time. Between the German and screen freezing, I felt lucky to see Gerry talk at all. I would love GA or someone to tell us all Gerry said if they get a chance to watch it!
Gerry did look amazing tonight. It seemed like his hair and beard were very soft looking. Did anyone else think that? It's almost a beard at this point.
Then the tight trousers! Fanning myself! Whew!!!

I only saw the two clips above and nothing new there. It was embarrassing. I mean it would have been somewhat funny without the ice cubes, but it's only funny for German speaking people because we know how it's supposed to be pronounced. Gerry was really a good sport... His dramatic reading of a great piece of German literature was pretty funny. As a Scot he can pronounce German better than most English or Americans because there are a lot of sounds that are alike in German and Scottish. Of course he still made some funny mistakes as anybody would do reading a foreign language they don't know. He didn't do too bad, he went for it. But my parents are right, the show is not what it used to be. I don't think they will get big international stars again after embarrassing Gerry and Tom Hanks. Yes, I had to laugh but felt uncomfortable at the same time. Please forgive us Germans, Gerry! I hope they make up for it and all watch OHF now.

Not my sense of humour but I guess Gerry would have known what he was in for .... Boys will be boys I guess if you can run naked into the Irish Sea, a little ice down your pants is bearable

You should have seen the show 20 years ago. When a celeb lost their bet they did something neat. For instance if the celeb was a musician they would give a free concert at a Mall or the celeb cooked food or served as a waiter at a restaurant somewhere or did some charity work. They all did something funny and/or charitable. They would then show clips from that at the next edition of the show. When they changed the format and decided that the celebs have to do something right at the show after losing a bet the show kind of limited itself since its hard to do anything right there and then. And they have to come up with new punishments for a lost bet for each show and how much is there one can do? It's a shame, it used to be a good show.

Its not really my type of humour either...I actually can't even watch the clip in full.
Oh Gerry. What a 'good sport'- such a great guy- who is up for fun as long as its entertaining.
I still think this bet was his idea, I think he has joked about breaking nuts with his ass in the past, and ice down his pants....omg! ..oh Gerry !!
He looked confused during parts of the stunt..but just keep smiling. so cute.
