Overview
- The 100th episode will be broadcast on ZDF on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 22:15 and will be made available in the ZDF‑Mediathek after airing.
- ZDF says the special edition focuses on growing political radicalization and the resilience of democracy, combining satire with the programme’s usual research-led approach.
- Regular on-screen hosts Max Uthoff, Claus von Wagner and Maike Kühl will be joined by guests including Christian Tramitz, Lutz van der Horst, Gisa Flake, Julia Gamez and the band Die Sterne.
- ZDF removed guest Danger Dan from the anniversary lineup, stating his new song’s lyrics could be read as a call to violence and as guidance for political extremism, which the broadcaster said would violate programming rules.
- Since its 2014 debut the show has used a monothematic, investigative-satire format supported by a multi-person authors and research team, and ZDF produces about eight episodes a year which the programme uses to probe current political issues.
