Gefragt – Gejagt Draws Fan Pushback Over Earlier Timeslot and Heavy Use of Sebastian Jacoby

Producers are seen to favor Jacoby for his strong win rate, a choice critics say comes at the expense of variety.

Overview

  • The ARD quiz show recently moved from its usual 18:00 broadcast to 17:10, a shift many working viewers say makes live participation harder.
  • FOCUS reports that Sebastian Jacoby appeared in three of the last six aired episodes, prompting complaints about repetitive casting on social media.
  • Viewers describe the frequent selection of Jacoby as reducing variety, even as he remains a popular figure on the show.
  • Coverage cites Jacoby’s reported final‑round win rate of around 80 percent, which observers suggest may influence producer decisions to feature him more often.
  • A recent episode highlighted host Alexander Bommes’ light‑hearted exchange with contestant Stefan Borck during the quick‑fire round, with Manuel Hobiger serving as the Jäger that day.
