Gefragt – Gejagt’ Primetime Marathon Delivers Viral Moments as ARD Prepares Time Shift

The three-hour celebrity special rekindled viewer debate over the 17:10 move set for 13 October.

Overview

  • ARD aired a three-hour Quiz-Marathon on 6 September at 20:15 featuring 16 celebrities in four teams competing for charity against Jäger Sebastian Klussmann, Dr. Thomas Kinne, Sebastian Jacoby, Adriane Rickel and Annegret Schenkel.
  • Host Alexander Bommes briefly halted proceedings after misplacing his glasses, with a studio staffer stepping in on air to assist before the round continued.
  • During a live check requested by Bommes, production confirmed that Sebastian Klussmann had not given the answer he claimed, drawing laughter and underscoring the show’s real-time fact-checking.
  • The broadcast highlighted the show’s trademark banter, including Sebastian Jacoby’s playful “Liebe ist …” remark about Bommes, and lighthearted exchanges during Jäger selections.
  • ARD’s confirmed shift of Gefragt – Gejagt to 17:10 from 13 October prompted social-media concerns about the earlier slot and questions over Dr. Thomas Kinne’s on-screen presence, even as episodes remain available in the ARD-Mediathek; some viewers also criticized the special’s easier questions and lack of studio audience.
