Hermes Phettberg (born October 5, 1952 as Josef Fenz) is an Austrian artist, comedian, actor, author and talk show host. The first name of his nom de plume is taken from the ancient Greek god Hermes. The last name means Fat mountain, but is written as Phettberg instead of Fettberg as ironical hint to his Greek sounding fist name.
