Overview
- The Monday episode, recorded at the show's longtime Hürth studio near Cologne, aired with a studio audience as usual.
- A display error turned the proverb cue “Eigener Herd” into “eigener Gerd,” prompting Jauch to quip, “Der Verantwortliche wurde entlassen.”
- An editorial prompt pushed Jauch to ask about “vegan beer,” after which he joked that such fed questions were “die dümmsten Fragen.”
- When contestant Uwe Schmitz identified as being from Düsseldorf, Jauch leaned into the Cologne–Düsseldorf rivalry with a smiling, “Das sind ja auch Menschen,” drawing laughter.
- Contestants Uwe Schmitz and Robert Dömlang each left with €32,000, while Stephanie Schumacher advanced to €64,000, with the audience assisting on earlier questions.
