Overview
- The 13th season of Wer weiß denn sowas? resumed on Monday, November 2 with a double live episode so Kai Pflaume can attempt the longest distance run while moderating a show.
- ARD has said the broadcast will move from a scheduled double episode into continuous live streams in the ARD Mediathek and will not end until Guinness World Records certifies the distance.
- Pflaume aims to reach marathon distance of 42.195 km while hosting, a goal framed as plausible by his recent endurance results including a Tegernsee half‑marathon and a full marathon finish reported earlier this year.
- Broadcaster and producers adjusted the usual schedule by delaying the season return to November and keeping the six‑month slot share with Alexander Bommes, while the first week's guests mix sports figures and TV presenters.
- Medical experts quoted in coverage warn that running hundreds of tight studio laps raises joint and fatigue risks, which highlights both the physical strain on Pflaume and the unusual logistical challenge for live TV production.
