I think I may have found something more obscure than Dragon's Houdini confirmation thing.

Translated, there's some interesting stuff. Peter mentions the levels of humor they go through (basic jokes for anyone to get, jokes that people with basic knowledge will get, and jokes for the hardcore fans), talks about once considering Alexander the Great (boring), and the possibility of a 5th season.

The most interesting part is what Peter says at one point in discussing 4.5 (forgive the rough translation):

"This season again consists of six episodes with a total of 25 characters. Of course we keep the protagonists a secret. I can already reveal a few: besides some old friends who return, come illusionist Harry Houdini and the South African Shaka Zulu along. "

25 characters. Let's add up.


 * 1) Bill & Ted vs Lewis & Clark (4 rappers)
 * 2) Shaka vs Caesar/Crazy Horse/whoever (at least 2 rappers; 6 rappers total)
 * 3) Robocop vs Terminator (at least 2 rappers; 8 rappers total)
 * 4) Houdini vs Potter/Angel/Copperfield (at least 2 rappers; 10 total)
 * 5) East vs West (at least 5 rappers; 15 total)
 * 6) Disney vs Henson (at least 2 rappers; 17 total)

So, with that in mind, there are 8 others (really 7 because Socrates, but I didn't include him because we technically can't say he's in East vs West and to my memory we have no guarantee Lloyd is rapping). 2 of those could perhaps be Mickey & Kermit. What are the remaining 5 then?
