Paul Henri de Leeuw (born 26 March 1962 in Rotterdam) is a Dutch television comedian, singer and actor. De Leeuw gained national fame in the late eighties and early nineties with television shows for broadcasting company VARA. Though satire was only a part of these shows and much of its humour was essentially harmless, he came into publicity with satire about Dutch show business personalities who were often ridiculed. Besides, many obscure musical acts were featured in his shows, many of which managed to gain national fame after they had been in De Leeuw's show (e.g. Twarres and , a former boyband member who contracted AIDS). VARA has since continued his shows apart from a few interruptions, often with considerable success. In the early nineties, Paul de Leeuw also had some shows celebrating the new year. In the 1993-1994 show he satirized the new commercial television station RTL 5 by announcing another new station, "RTL 6" (''RTL six, beter dan niks'' (RTL six, better than nothing )). This led to a lawsuit by the RTL company, who demanded that De Leeuw withdraw his joke. He and his husband, Stephan Nugter, have adopted two children: son Kas (adopted in October 2001) and son Tobey (adopted in December 2002). Paul de Leeuw has had many hit singles in the Netherlands. He is most famous for: ''Vlieg met me mee'' (#2), ''Ik wil niet dat je liegt / Waarheen, waarvoor'' (#1), and '' 'k Heb je lief'' (#3). Since the beginning of his television and singing career he released albums and singles, always becoming a big success. On Koninginnedag 2007 he was made a Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion. == 25th Anniversary == Paul de Leeuw until mid-2009 hosted the weekly chat and comedy show ''Mooi! Weer De Leeuw''. On 29 November 2008 he celebrated his 25th television anniversary by staging a 12-hour marathon. Not forgetting the reason ''Mooi! Weer De Leeuw'' happened, he invited his one-time collaborator (whose ''Kopspijkers''-show previously filled the ''Mooi! Weer De Leeuw'' time slot, before a row prompted VARA to cancel it with immediate effect) to reprise one item from ''Kopspijkers''; other guests included comedians Herman van Veen and , and singer/musical actor Danny de Munk. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul de Leeuw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
