Gefragt – Gejagt’ Faces Viewer Pushback Over Earlier Timeslot and Heavy Use of Star Chaser Jacoby

Complaints hinge on Sebastian Jacoby’s roughly 80% finals win rate alongside a run in three of the past six episodes.

Overview

  • ARD shifted the quiz show from its traditional 18:00 slot to 17:10, a move many working viewers say makes live play‑along difficult.
  • Social‑media posts highlight frustration over perceived lack of variety, with some viewers saying they switch off when Jacoby appears again.
  • FOCUS reports Jacoby featured in three of the last six broadcasts and cites about an 80% final‑round win rate for the longtime Jäger.
  • Recent coverage notes no public response from ARD or the show’s producers to the scheduling and rotation complaints.
  • A 16 October broadcast drew notice for lighthearted on‑air banter between host Alexander Bommes and contestant Stefan Borck, keeping episode moments in focus.
