Stefan Raab is returning to the screens – with a weekly show. However, his show is not on TV, but on the streaming platform RTL+.
Stefan Raab is returning to television. “I’ve thought: I’m going to do shows again,” said the entertainer on Saturday evening in Düsseldorf. “It starts next week.” He will be working for the streaming service RTL+ for at least the next five years. It starts next Wednesday. There is a million euros to be won every week. The show is called “You won’t win the million here with Stefan Raab” or abbreviated to “DGHNDMBSR”. To take home the money, the candidates have to beat Raab in quizzes and games.
Raab explained that the new show format was not developed for linear television by citing the “course of the times”: “Modernity is taking place in streaming.” However, the presenter for RTL will also appear on classic television. There will be “numerous show formats” for RTL and RTL+, the broadcaster announced.
Stefan Raab loses boxing match against Regina Halmich
Raab is returning with his new show after a long absence from the screen. In 2015, he largely withdrew from the public eye. Since then, he has been working behind the scenes. In 2018, he appeared in a stage show in Cologne, which was not broadcast on television.
On Saturday evening, shortly before the announcement, Raab suffered his third defeat in the boxing ring against Regina Halmich. The 57-year-old – well-trained and white-haired – was on the defensive and immobile from the start. Halmich (47) won on points. She complained: “You made it difficult for me. You didn’t show up once.” Raab countered: “I’m not a geriatric nurse. I’m an athlete.”
Stefan Raab returns to screen
Long-time presenter Raab initially delayed his return to the screen at the show on Saturday evening and then allowed himself to be celebrated almost religiously by the audience.
It was the entertainer’s third encounter with former world boxing champion Halmich from Karlsruhe. Fists flew in 2001 and 2007. The Cologne native lost to the Karlsruhe native there too.
