Overview
- The programme will air its 100th episode on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 22:15 on ZDF and will be made available in the ZDF‑Mediathek after the broadcast.
- The on-screen trio Max Uthoff, Claus von Wagner and Maike Kühl will lead the anniversary show alongside guests including Christian Tramitz, Lutz van der Horst, Gisa Flake, Julia Gamez, Danger Dan and the band Die Sterne.
- Since its debut on February 4, 2014 the show shifted from a revue style to a monothematic model that treats one topic in depth in each episode.
- Producers back the satire with a named authors and research team — including Cornelius Oettle, Doris Müller, Kathrin Hartmann and Ingrid Knorr — to combine investigative reporting with comic performance.
- Head author Dietrich Krauß has described the programme as a deliberate mix of a children’s-explanation format and Monty Python-style satire to make complex political issues clearer and more engaging for viewers.
