Overview
- Stefan Raab turned 60 on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, a milestone noted as part of a comeback that began in September 2024.
- He reappeared on TV with a high‑profile boxing 'Final Fight' against Regina Halmich that drew about 5.9 million viewers and signaled strong initial public curiosity.
- Several post‑comeback projects failed to hold audiences, with the quiz-show 'Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million' cancelled in June 2025 after steeply falling ratings.
- RTL has kept faith in Raab through a reported multi‑year deal and public comments that the network values him for generating 'Gesprächsstoff', preserving his platform despite weak shows.
- Raab has also found pockets of success: the August 2026 'Jetski Star WM' reached roughly 1.16 million viewers and his March 2026 quiz with Barbara Schöneberger won the Deutscher Fernsehpreis, underscoring a comeback that mixes occasional hits with persistent inconsistency.
