Overview
- The programme will be broadcast on Saturday, October 10 at 20:15 on Das Erste and will stream in the ARD‑Mediathek, confirming the broadcaster’s schedule for the live edition.
- A preview clip on the show's Instagram shows Schöneberger disguised as a photographer pranking firefighters, and viewers noted her voice made the disguise less convincing.
- Guests listed for the episode include Simone Thomalla, Heino Ferch, Lili Paul‑Roncalli, Massimo Sinató and Jimmy Hartwig who either take part in or help set up pranks.
- One highlighted stunt has Horst Lichter tricking SAT.1’s Frühstücksfernsehen by claiming he wanted part of his mustache removed and later reappearing dramatically changed.
- The show has been cut from five episodes a year to three and has seen slipping ratings, with about 2.65 million viewers in March compared with a weaker 1.62 million for an August best‑of, so broadcasters are using live, social‑media‑driven pranks to try to regain audience attention.
