“Zampanoo's Variété†(1984â€"1985), then member of the comedy
group “Harul's Top Service†(1985â€"1998). He worked for Radio
DRS’ satire programme Satiramisù (1991â€"1994).During the 90s, he
created satirical figures like Harry Hasler, Debbie Mötteli, Fredi
Hinz and Erwin Bischofberger (see below for detailed list). He became
well known, thanks to his job as a moderator and co-author of the
satirical programmes Viktors Programm (1990â€"1994) and Viktors
Spätprogramm (1995â€"2002) on SF DRS and as an author and main actor

Winterthur. Since then, he is Verwaltungsrats-Präsident of the
„Casinotheater AG†. In 2006 he was the Circus Knie’s guest star.
He lives near Winterthur.Giacobbo sometimes plays himself as a
selfish, arrogant egoist, who is accompanied by bodyguards who hold
back the fans. As part of this characterization: he has a desk full of
goblets, a large poster showing himself, and gets paid for product
placement in reportages for the Schweizer Illustrierte, a Swiss
personality magazine. He refuses a children home's offer to take part
in a ceremony because the offer doesn't offer a large enough
honorarium. Furthermore, Giacobbo cuts Walter Andreas Müller’s
gage.[clarification needed] Giacobbo plays a video to show Müller,
how miserable Müller's acting was, but the acting shown is
Giacobbo’s. Müller is hustled out of the office and gets the
commission and honorarium to participate in the children’s home
ceremony.
