Overview
- Winterscheidt won the final to retake hosting duties and returns as presenter on Sunday, 9 November on ProSieben and Joyn.
- Dittrich opened with a Beatles medley as “Sgt. Dittrich’s Lonely Spass Clubband” and playfully renamed the creator “Yoko” for the night.
- The usual teleprompter semifinal ran as a head-to-head “Kanzler-Duell” between Winterscheidt and Karoline Herfurth, with questions from Katrin Bauerfeind and Markus Feldenkirchen.
- Winterscheidt reached the final carrying three Dittsche beer bottles as advantages instead of the standard tokens.
- A wildcard contestant named Dennis from Cologne took part, and Dittrich shared a Polydor-era anecdote about rejecting Falco’s “Der Kommissar” demo.
