Overview
- “Constantin Schreiber Late Night” premiered on October 27 at 23:00 on WELT TV with SPD general secretary Tim Klüssendorf, CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann, BR reporter Julia Ruhs, neuroscientist Raphael Bonelli and comedian Vince Ebert.
- The TV format derives from Schreiber’s Berlin stage show and opens with a focus on objectivity, humor and the culture of dispute during heated public debates.
- Schreiber asked guests to bring hate messages to read on air and said he has never received more hate than now.
- Ruhs said public broadcasting has lost trust and characterized her replacement at NDR as “cancel culture” after internal protests over her migration-critical stance.
- WELT is expanding its debate lineup with a Nena Brockhaus show starting November 10, while reports conflict on Schreiber’s production cadence, citing either a two-month or six-week rhythm.
